In the cold war confrontation, why did the Soviet Union, which had already taken the lead, finally play with itself?

Because the light industry of the Soviet Union was not taken seriously, it led to the vacillation of the Soviet Union.

At that time, the Soviet Union and the United States were competing, which led to the competition between socialism and capitalism in their respective camps. As a result of this game, the Soviet Union was knocked down by the United States, and the United States won without fighting, becoming the only superpower in the world today. The United States is an immigrant country, with no universal nationality and only different races. These different races are usually scattered in the social structure of the melting pot of the United States. Relatively unified, coupled with the high population mobility rate, it is difficult to combine the unique ethnic consciousness with the local consciousness to form a powerful regional separation force. The United States pursues a loose political system and a flexible free capitalist market economy system, and the checks and balances mechanism of the federal and state can ensure that the interests of the central and local governments are guaranteed.

The government's incorruptibility and high efficiency ensure the government's credibility. The organic combination of military investment and market is full of freedom and vitality, and many achievements have been made in cultivating other economic fields. For example, since the military project, emerging industries such as the Internet have flourished. The political and economic system of the Soviet Union is highly centralized, which restricts social productivity and political flexibility and gradually accumulates to form systematic problems. The solution of this problem is a one-stop process, which will lead to an endless cycle of any reform. Reasonable solutions and absolute power often lead to absolute corruption. In this environment, it is easy for Soviet government agencies to form a privileged class, which leads to the decline of government credibility and unstable national foundation.

In the middle of the cold war, the atomic bomb of the Soviet Union once surpassed that of the United States. During the tense period, the United States turned its attention to the war on space resources. The Soviet Union, with its distinct strengths and weaknesses, also launched a huge space program, but soon after, the United States stopped the space program and the Soviet Union was out of control. Facts have proved that aviation engineering is just a scam in the United States, taking advantage of the fatal defects in the development of heavy industry and the disadvantages of light industry in the Soviet Union. A space race was launched, and the Soviet Union just used this strategy and spent a lot of manpower and financial resources. However, domestic light industry was ignored, the economy was depressed, and the huge Soviet Union was shaken. In the end, it triggered various contradictions in the country and brought forward various federal charges. The intensification of contradictions eventually led to the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Therefore, the Soviet Union was not dragged down by the United States, but was destroyed by itself.
