Reagan wouldn’t have orchestrated a coup in Ukraine and militarized it’s border thus prompting the Russian invasion.
“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.
What ACTUALLY happened was that Putin has been trying to bite off chunks of Ukraine by fomenting “rebellions” to give RuSSian troops an excuse to enter and take it. This was followed by Putin supporting a Kremlin proxy in Kyiv, thus giving him the country like Lukashenko gave Belarus to RuSSia without a shot fired.
All that was messed up by the Maidan revolution when Ukrainians said no to Putin’s henchman and he was expelled. Putin then decided he would have to take Ukraine by force.
Ukraine’s refusal to be annexed by RuSSia is angering Putin and his worshippers.
RuSSian propaganda should NEVER be welcome on a conservative site.
