Beschreibung:

USSR was fighting battles on many fronts:
Fighting a war in Afghanistan, which they simply could not win.
Were giving aid to left-wing parties in other countries.

Vast expediture over many years led to global over-stretch.

The Soviet economy was stagnating and needed technological and financial input from the West. They were outputting 63% less GNP than the USA. The Soviets simply could not offer competitive goods' prices in comparision with the USA.
