This old fool advised Jimmy Carter. History knows how that went. He was wrong about everything then, and has been wrong about everything since. And his daughter is a dumb-ass too.
He helped engineer the quagmire trap that the Soviets got themselves into in Afghanistan, which eventually brought about the collapse of the Soviet Union.
He was right about the Soviets, and Russia, then & now:
During the 1970s he propounded the proposition that the Soviet system was incapable of evolving beyond the industrial phase into the "technetronic" age.
By the 1980s, Brzezinski argued that the general crisis of the Soviet Union foreshadowed communism's end.
Reagan prolonged the Soviet empire by his outrageous spending on Defense, but it fell nonetheless. (Reagan, like Bush II, gave US enemies something to unite around.)
