No. The south fell because it was a hilariously corrupt puppet state with zero stability and zero will to fight. Do you have any idea how many governments they went through? The Soviets didn't start having serious financial problems until their defense spending hikes in the 80s. Nevermind the fact that none of that shit was the problem of those 57,000 people. They died terrible deaths for no real good reason.

Soviet negotiators worked out a deal to buy grain on credit, but quickly exceeded their credit limit. American negotiators did not realize that both the Soviets and the world grain market had suffered shortfalls, and thus subsidized the purchase, leading it to be dubbed the "Great Grain Robbery". The strategy backfired and intensified the crisis: global food prices rose at least 30 percent, and grain stockpiles were decimated.
Idiot right wing Republicans, stepping on their dicks, as always, feeding welfare to Big Ag.
The Brezhnev Doctrine collapsed miserably.
They tried a comeback in the 1980's and that went nowhere. they never recovered from the Brezhnev bust and the U.S.'s containment strategies, which cost far fewer lives than your current idiot isolationist stupidity has.
