I don’t care how well we try to avoid it, if we disarm at any point, we’ll be destroyed. It’s the one infalible fact of human history, nations that disarm are soon relegated to the ash heap of history.

I wouldn't argue against that. Reagan was merely forcing the sentimentalists to confront reality, He himself wasn't ever going to disarm unilaterally. Unfortunately, his RINO heirs did.

Thanks for the additional comments Paul. You may be right about Reagan’s long term hopes. I didn’t care to see him advocate for zero nukes at any point in time, but your take on it is fine with me.

You’ll get no arguement out of me that those who followed him, were far less than stellar.
