7. Russia made no such rearmament during the Cold War

You are completely wrong about the Cold War.

It was U.S. propaganda that built up the USSR's military. USSR's military spending stayed steady before and during the Cold War. There was no build up.

The USSR failed because it's economic system was fatally flawed and couldn't deliver to market the fruits of its production.

I recommend reading some non-rightwing books on the Cold War and get to the truth.
