Don't forget, Hippie, I lived through this.
Again, waiting for a source to support Klam's anti-Reagan policy assertion.
TitsonMen67,
Type "Reagan exaggerated role in collapse of ussr" in google and you can pick from numerous scholarly arguments, including Reagan's hard line stance actually prolonging the life of the Soviet Union by increasing the strength of kremlin conservatives.
Your lack of understanding here is breathtaking. You're a stupid fuck.
Link?
There is none.
You are mentally ill. You delude yourself with bizarro-world revisionist dreams unfounded in reality. Were America to have followed the Dems nuclear freeze/Detente proposals of the early 80's, U.S.S.R. would STILL EXIST, and the western collapse occurring due to Obama's failed military dismantling policies, would have takenplace under Clinton.
Reagan's "Peace through strength" WORKED and you're neither mature or man enough to admit Reagan was right.
Sorry, D. THAT'S REALITY.
