same memo, I posted earlier, from wiki:
Administration abandoned the established policy of pursuing detente withthe Soviet Union and instead instituted a massive arms buildup; it alsofomented proxy wars in areas of Soviet influence, while denying theSoviets desperately needed oil equipment and technology. !.Then, inthe mid-1980s, Washington persuaded Saudi Arabia to flood the worldmarket with cheap oil. Throughout the last decade of its existence, theUSSR pumped and sold its oil at the maximum possible rate in order toearn foreign exchange income with which to keep up in the arms raceand prosecute its war in Afghanistan.
don't agrue with me - argue with the CIA memo...:-)
