Nice try, but American military interventionism is why we had a problem with Russia in the first place. If America hadn't been involved in WWI, there wouldn't have been a WWII and Russia and America wouldn't have fought over the spoils of war and never would have had a problem.

American military interventionism had nothing to do with the downfall of the USSR unless you count America stockpiling weapons as intervention. The USSR was going broke on their own and would have crumbled within 10-20 years without Reagan spending trillions and ensuring generations of Americans would be born into debt.
