I don't recall the USSR capitulating to anybody, except the fact that it's whole rotting structure could no longer support the weight of the empty promises it had made to its citizens.
As for it having more killpower than the US, er, wrong.
The neocons so desperately wanted the gullible public to believe that, though, to maintain the heady profits and their kick-backs in the arms race against a well-armed and potentially threatening super-power, but which was a pale force against the might ranged against it, although it's simple, pragmatic and motivated approach may have made some holes in the US wall of Dollars that opposed it...
But, please, neocon worshippers, do keep believing that you, and only you, "bought" down the wall. The tinkling and crashing sound of your allusions and illusions shattering would be heartbreaking, and I may even feel sorry for you.
Well, maybe not.
Straussian neoconservatism is as much a scourge on Civilisation as the last, dying days of the Roman Empire, and the vile rise of European fascism in the 20's and 30's, and as corrupt and malignent as the spectre of Stalinist communism during the early years of the Cold War.
If you truly can't see this, then you need to get down to an opticians pretty smartly, because your blindness is spreading like a cancer.
