To quote Rocky Balboa after his stirring fictional defeat of Ivan Drago in Rocky IV:
“During this fight, I’ve seen a lot of changing, in the way you feel about me, and in the way I feel about you. In here, there were two guys killing each other, but I guess that’s better than twenty million. I guess what I’m trying to say, is that if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change!”
And here’s how the Cold War turned out:
This is the Russian Police Choir singing Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky.” Now, Daft Punk is a French group, but that’s still NATO. Things have changed, comrades. Things have changed.
The demise of Soviet Communism certainly changed things a lot and was a great blessing for the Russian people.
