What Larison believes in is appeasement.
So “appeasement” means somebody who supports deterrence and containment? Reagan was an appeaser in your definition.
Reagan believed in rollback, not merely containment. In 1980, the Soviets had nukes, so preventing them from getting them was hardly an option. But let us note that The American Dhimmi oppose all actual efforts at ballistic missile defense, while pretending to support in theory. That is unless publishing a leftist surrenderist, which they often do, because their evening star is dhimmitude, not conservatism.
