If I remember correctly—and I do—the worst mistakes we made during the Cold War were when we tried to accommodate and “go along to get along”. We only really made progress when we confronted them-—via Ronald Reagan.
I remember the horrible films that were smuggled out of Hungary when the USSR invaded that country. I don't think anyone is ready to watch a redux of that. I also remember “Kill a Commie for Christ”-—in light of this last commie crap—not a bad sentiment.
I will go out on a limb here and claim that we did not win the Cold War simply because of Reagan...even though I admired him.
We had fought the Cold War for almost 40 years and our winning of it more or less was due to cummulative efforts from bomb development to proxy wars and ICBMS and so forth.
Regan simply reupped the ante after Carter’s malaise.
The rest of your post is an attempt to pick a fight by ascribing words to me I never uttered nor insinuated.
