“You simply CANNOT tell me what Soviet Red Line Reagan crossed, which is typical for you making claims.”

Your question has nothing to do with your original comment.
You never said that Reagan crossed any “red line,” that is something you introduced after the fact, after I had proved you wrong.

In any event, if there was a Soviet “red line,” it necessarily must have been the USSR that set it out. And the Soviets must necessarily have told Reagan not to cross that “red line.” Even if there had been such a “red line,” and the USSR warned Reagan not to cross it, what the hell does that have to do with your original comment? Zilch. Because had there been such a red line, it is clear it was a bluff, or Reagan never crossed it. In which case Reagan either called the Soviets’ bluff and crossed it, or he didn’t have to cross it in order to defeat the USSR.

So, you see, your new question was meaningless, and did not require an answer.

Reagan defeated the USSR without a shot being fired. He challenged the USSR to match his moves or become irrelevant. Reagan knew the USSR could NOT match or even compete with the US, and the USSR folded, and collapsed. End of story.
