would the world be a better place to live in?a more equal balance of power would have been there obviously,unlike the unequal balance that exists right now in favour of the USA.the world would have been dividen between communism and capitalism like the post world war 2 - pre 1990 era.had that balance still existed,would we be living in a better world in terms of global security,in terms of global well being etc?

No, the balance of power wouldn't have curbed the imperialistic ideals of the world Superpowers. Having another Superpower would just mean that more people are getting screwed.

1- Both countries were using the whole world to test their weapons. Now, Only Americans can do that. The problem is still there...

2- There were some war zones where the two parties fought against each other like Afghanistan, Angola and Nicaragua... The wars continued after USSR left the battle field, making these places more prone to American invasion...

3- Wars in Balkan Area have caused deaths more than all the cold war's victims...

4- The developing countries lived under dictatorships which were loyal to one of the two parties. Fake democracy is now covering those same dictatorships...

5- Globalization became the new enemy of the free people of the World, but the struggle against it is just a group of parties of throwing stones into some poor soldiers, without affecting the heads...

6- The two parties keep claiming that they will decrease their neclear arsenal, while in fact, nothing happens...

As a result, the World wasn't really affected by the collapse of the USSR...

Well if the SU were still around these part, Naija would most likely have still been under a dictatorship...

Same evils, different cast of characters, really. I fully believe that any issues with the U.S. and terrorism were entirely born out of the collapse of the Soviet Union, for example. Dec 31, 1991 was a much bigger day than Sep 11, 2001 was in terms of impact in that area.

And while you could say that the world is a little safer without a nuclear arms race under the US vs. USSR cold war, it's also true now that nuclear proliferation has replaced that as a worldwide concern now that pretty much anyone and their mother can produce them.
