“Reagan never should have helped the muhajidean that much. He and others ignored 1200 + years of Islam trying to take over the world.”
Yes and no. The Cold War was SERIOUS BUSINESS. I remember a report from Dan Rather (before he completely flipped) just after the Wall came down. He was at the Fulda Gap between West and East Germany. That was the expected invasion route for the 50,000 Soviet tanks. It scared the hell out of me. Not to mention Soviet nukes (many still around, unfortunately) that were so big that we chose not to build them - as they served no military purpose other than annihilating a large city and most areas around it. This was serious stuff - I’ll take Jihad ANY DAY over the threat posed by those weapons - particularly if they got a Stalin instead of a Gorby once they had their weapons in place.
