As for whether the United States was better off, while the Soviet Union existed it was possible that the United States could be wiped off the map. Now that is not a realistic option. The Jihadists at worst may get one or two cities, but the Soviet could hit at least five hundred. As for the population of the world, the Soviet Union was trying to turn more countries into giant prisons where all political dissenters were sent to work camps and everyone but the communist elite was guranteed a life of poverty. Now the spread of communism has been seriously curtalied.
Sorry, but that was a pretty stupid question.
