JP2 and Lech Walensa had AS MUCH to do with the wall coming down as Reagan and Thatcher. Im not Catholic supporter, or a Pole, but thats just a fact. There’s a reason that the eastern block tried to assassinate JP2.

Very true and for someone to deny that or minimize him because of his religion is just nuts.

Reagan and Thatcher expanded military research and increased strategic deployments—these actions bankrupted the Soviet economy by forcing them to overspend on defense.The expense of Counteracting Star Wars and Pershing missiles wrecked the evil empire and began to starve the people.
By the time the two Poles kicked down the communist door the house was already rotten.
Thanks to RR and MT.
