Here we go, let's turn the thread into a Ronald Reagan Neocon circle-jerk. Nothing important to talk about here...
Ron single-handedly beat the communists, developed anti-missile technology, broke up the unionist-traitors who dared hold American labor hostage... what other crap can you dream up to attribute to him?
His patriotic acting in WWII propaganda films really spurred the nation into action...
"Bedtime for Bonzo" warmed the hearts of a nation...
Even Greenspan said the Soviets would've collapsed in 1990. Their military spending was more or less flat from the period before Reagan took office until after he left it. The idea that Reagan dreamed up a scheme to "beat" them is a fallacy. IT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE.
Star Wars was largely a distraction; no missile shield is successfully in place today - NOR IS ONE CLOSE, although I suspect it served it's purpose of making whatever Pentagon-private sector-revolving-door-insiders a lot of $$$.
You are a deeply unserious joke.
