I think the writer was referring to Reagans tough, no nonsense attitude. Appeasement gets us nothing but gives the enemy time to develop deadly weapons and become more of a threat. Trump has signaled that the days of appeasement are over.

Agreed, but the phrase "Reagan Doctrine" has a specific meaning.
It is also a counter to the more widely known Brezhnev Doctrine: "When forces that are hostile to socialism try to turn the development of some socialist country towards capitalism, it becomes not only a problem of the country concerned, but a common problem and concern of all socialist countries." Which basically means the Communists would take countries and never give any up. The writer should use a different phrase to express himself on this matter.
