What would Reagan do about Russia's invasion of Ukraine — and could he have prevented it?
Desertsun ^ | 03/09/2022 | KARNA SMALL BODMAN

Having the honor of serving six years in the Ronald Reagan White House, as deputy press secretary then senior director of his National Security Council staff, I've had friends — distraught over the plight of Ukrainians under attack by the murderous Vladimir Putin — ask me: “What do you think President Reagan would have done?”

Its a false comparison - Reagan was actually President. He had his advisors, but Fed.gov followed his direction

Biden is not President. He’s a meat-puppet and figurehead, who is told what to do and say by the DNC and deep-state.

What started the war is the West, in the personification of President Biden, lost deterrence. Loss of deterrence is the how every war starts.

The cause of the invasion was the outcome of the 2020 farce election. The die was cast and it came up snake eyes, not “if” but “when”.

Also, I doubt that Ronald Reagan used the Ukraine to launder MILLIONS of dollars for himself and his family..

Si vis pace para bellum.

Putin would be crapping his pants at the prospect of pissing off Ronaldus Maximus.

Reagan never would have taken the action to provoke the Russians to point of invading Ukraine.

Reagan only wanted intervention in nations that made the masses freer.

He would never have approved a revolution that resulted in innocent people being subjected to attacks by neo-Nazi nationalists as the people of Donbass have been subjected to.

He wouldn't have a agreed with the Ukrainian nationalists that cutting water flow off to Crimea was wise decision.

If his administration had promised no eastward expansion of NATO, he would have honored the agreement.

Never tell Putin what are you going to do!
Let him think about it.

Oil is a distraction. The Russians are after the neon production in Ukraine and once they take Odessa they will control almost 70% of the worlds industrial neon production. No neon = no microchips. Who else has industrial neon production capability ????? The answer is China.

Reagan would have never stopped drilling. He would have kept Russia where he left it, 30 plus years ago.

And he would have told the euroweenies/greenweenies where to get off.

“...What would Reagan do about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine..”

Gromyko and Gorbachev weren’t that stupid. America was still America then. Now we have a tool who wants to see how many countries can fall during his “presidency”.

This article is a lot of wasted ink or data bits.

Putin would not have invaded under Reagan! End of story.

He also would not have supported a totally corrupt regime like the Ukes nor given them billions. He probably would not have sent the deep state to overthrow the Uke government (color revolution) or expanded NATO to Putin’s doorstep, which caused all this mess.
