Brzezinski led the United States toward a new arms buildup and the development of the Rapid Deployment Forces – policies that are both more generally associated with Reagan’s presidency now.

Brzezinski, acting under a lame duck Carter presidency, but encouraged that Solidarity in Poland had vindicated his style of engagement with Eastern Europe, took a hard-line stance against what seemed like an imminent Soviet invasion of Poland. He even made a midnight phone call to Pope John Paul II – whose visit to Poland in 1979 had foreshadowed the emergence of Solidarity – warning him in advance. The U.S. stance was a significant change from previous reactions to Soviet repression in Hungary in 1956 and Czechoslovakia in 1968.

You have to be careful of the source. Under Carter engagement with Russia was a joke as Bresznev ran circles around him. Time magazine among other rags promoted the notion that the best we could do was a delaying action against the progress of Communism. Remember also they sand bagged the Shah of Iran in favor of hate filled Khomeini setting the stage for everything we now see in the Middle East

Brezinski is bad news all if the way
