The Soviet Union 'bled itself white' trying to keep up with Reagan's military expansionist policies.He brought down the Soviet union. Brought down the Berlin wall. Restored patriotism to the USA after the terrible Carter years. Built our military back up after Carter decimated it. Loved this country. Put America first. Treated our allies with respect and our enemies with strength.
Sure, he made mistakes, everyone makes mistakes. But he did a lot more good than bad.
nothing to do with the bringing down of the Soviet Union. It was in the shit from the 1960s onwards and was never going to recover......
And yet when Reagan said that the SU would end up on the ash heap of history, lefties like you, ridiculed him for it.
It is absurd for you lefties to now pretend that it was obvious that the SU was going to fall, or that all the anti-soviet programs of Reagan has nothing to do with it.
That is historic fact which Gorbachev himself wrote.
Every ruple the Soviet government could beg borrow or steal went into the military.
