Surrendering before a conflict becomes too intense is a great way to avoid more conflict, but you are still a loser. I am trying to infer that thinking that the head of the Soviet communist party wanted and worked to ensure that the communist party was totally discredited as a legitimate philosophy AND dramatically weakening his home country in relative terms to the west is like thinking Reagen wanted to be a communist. Not bloody likely. Post cold war accolades for Gorbachev, and his acceptance of them, is pure spin to avoid giving credit where it is due.
