Answer:

Assuming your referring to the Christian "Great Chain of Being" then no.

Explanation:

(I will try to be as unbiased as possible)

Just to clarify for anyone who is uniformed on what exactly the Great Chain of Being is... it is a hierarchy chart which first surfaced in Medieval Europe which goes in order as... God, Angelic Beings, Humanity, Animals, Plants, Minerals.

In the Bible it is stated numerous times (I can find the specific page and such if needed) that "great beasts" roamed the earth... now there is no historical or scientific evidence this was referring directly to Dinosaurs but there is evidence that mass extinction events have occurred all throughout history and some are event mentioned in the bible itself (The Great Flood) It is thought that about 75% of all animal life on earth was wiped out (Also most believe that some form of Humanity was alive during the supposed asteroid strike) which means that if you are arguing that a mass extinction event would mean that Great Chain of Being or basically the existence of God then you would be wrong. (Again being unbiased here, there is also no evidence that there is a "God" or Gods)

I hope this could help, my apologies if it didn't. If you need any more elaboration I will gladly try my best to help out down in the comments

During the cold war, the united states advocated liberal democracy, while the soviet union supported: a single-party political system

The political position of the United States during the Cold War was based on defending the political ideals that were the basis for the freedom of a liberal democracy. On the other hand, the so-called Soviet Union was convinced that a single-party political system was the best way to govern, with communism and socialism being the pillars of its political ideology.

The cold war was a political conflict between the Soviet Union, which supported a communist political model, and the United States, which defended democracy. During this conflict there was no direct confrontation and it was based on the latent tension of the possibility of using weapons of mass destruction.
