“Reagan wouldn’t have orchestrated a coup in Ukraine and militarized it’s border thus prompting the Russian invasion.”

Reagan most certainly DID support and perhaps even orchestrate anti-Soviet/Russian coups in Poland, Czechoslovakia, and East Germany.

Forty years ago Reagan also supported the Strategic Defense Initiative in which the US purported to spend billions developing a national missile defense shield. The Russians bankrupted themselves trying to counter it and in the end it turned out that the US never built much of anything.

The purpose of SDI was to help bring down the USSR, which it did.

That said, were Reagan our President right now there can be no doubt that the old war horse would be doing his damndest to defeat and humiliate armed Russian aggression in Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova.

That was against the USSR. It doesn’t exist any more.
