We have a thread today where some media source laments that Reagan would be shocked at some to the friendly outreach to Russia. As your book was very detailed on his outreach to Russia, do you have any wild speculation about how he would be doing with Russia at this point? He seemed to have good feelings about the Russian character in general.
Reagan would be in constant dialogue with Putin, would NOT see him as a communist, but as another world power leader, and would work behind the scenes to negotiate an end to the war, not blow up negotiations like Rutabaga did.
Reagan would like MUCH about Russia today-—its renewed religious fervor, its pro-family agenda.
