appeasment? MAD was a program of appeasement? dog fights over no-fly zones and vietnam were appeasment? wow, i had no clue. in that case, we should have applied that style of appeasement to germany pre 1938.

You misread the post; Reagan practiced containment which was the general strategy from a geopolitical point of view for the Cold War. Think Persia vs Greece, Macedonia vs Greece, Carthage vs Rome as alternative battle to the deaths.

LBJ fruitless war was an example of utterly failed confrontation.

The Second World War was fought to save Joe Stalin whose agents dominated the FDR administration.

Again, you may have some unlearning to do or you can just keep thinking as the gubmint educators instructed you on what is permissible thought and what is not..
