Movie Charlie Wilson War. Seems he was the force behind Reagan in the 80’s per Hollywood.

RIP Charlie - I watched a moving that said you single handily won the cold war, or at least that’s what Tom Hanks et. al. would have us all believe.
To: Abathar
Oh my.
I read the book when it was first published- fascinating.
Rest in peace.

He was instrumental in the Soviet defeat in Afghanistan, and warned of the risks in abandoning that country, since.

Prayers to his family.

Charlie’s War = unanticipated consequences = the shoe is on the other foot.

He didn't win the Cold War single-handedly, but he did succeed in getting House Democrats to back Reagan's foreign policy in Afghanistan, which was quite a stretch for them.

So how old was he, anyway, in his 70’s?
