It's weird. The USSR's power ended when a wall came down

It's like a wall is Russia's version of the Compiegne Wagon.

The reunification of East and West Germany was an outcome of the Soviet collapse, not a cause.

Republican voters only care about having whites and Christians in power. They don't give a damn about democracy or anything else.
