[edit] Defeat for the Soviets?

I am surprised the article describes the INF treaty as the first major defeat for Soviet diplomacy. Could one not argue to the contrary, that it was a major victory for Soviet diplomacy, in the sense of engaging the Reagan administration, dramatically improving Soviet-US relations, bringing the end to the Cold War?Radchenk (talk) 09:16, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree Radchenk. I think that the line was vandalism, because I can't imagine the Soviets agreeing to something that they didn't largely benefit from. Happyme22 (talk) 18:31, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
