For me, yes, quite shockingly. We’ve had in mind the model of a unilateral America with an excess of power, an excess of dynamism, in a world without counterweight.

That was the moment when the Soviet imperial system was ruined completely… The last breath of declining empires is the military gesture.
From an interview with the French historian Emmanuel Todd, who presciently foresaw the collapse of the USSR.
