Or, if the succession struggle is resolved in favor of ideologues and expansionists, they can continue pursuing an aggressive course and thereby risk an almost inevitable, potentially cataclysmic confrontation with the U.S. On top of that, the stagnation and deterioration of their economy will accelerate as more resources are wasted in an arms race that the U.S.S.R. can neither afford...
