Akhundi: One destruction is enough / In the Soviet Union, the real struggle for the people was not the arms race with the United States; rather, it was the battle between the official television and the refrigerator.

Abbas Akhoundi, a political analyst, wrote in Ham-Mihan:

Today's issue for us is more about our own situation in Iran than any kind of confrontation or arms race between the U.S. and China or Russia.

If the Soviet Union could not sustain this path until the end, countries like ours will be far less able to even enter this field.

Let us not forget that the Soviet Union sent a manned satellite into orbit before the U.S. did.

In the Soviet Union, the real battle for the people was not the arms race with the U.S.; rather, it was the struggle between the official television and the refrigerator, where the former showed things that existed in the USSR while the latter refuted all those claims.
