Reagan ended the Cold War
Gorbachev had no choice. The Soviet Union was collapsing. Does everyone forget that Gorbachev was head of the COMMUNIST party that is responsible for the greatest number of people murdered in the 20th Century? Millions of people were oppressed under his leadership and he had a huge part in the Chernobyl nuclear disaster coverup.
“You know, the Soviet Union has just introduced two new breakfast cereals honoring its leader and first lady. They’re called Raisa Bran and Gorba Chex, and They will be on the U. S. market late summer.”
SNL Weekend update (1998).
Gorbachev didn’t “end the Cold War”. The Soviet Union became such an unworkable system full of shortages, long lines at stores, infrastructure gridlock, decadance, corruption, and obvious failure as a system. Just study up on the transformation of East Germany in the 1990s to see why it collapsed.
This is a good and very appropriate time to share this.
McCarthy is probably the most smeared man in US history , including even Trump.
(Gorbachev is discussed in paragraph 7)

I once saved a woman from rape by changing my mind. Didn’t Ronald Reagan have something to do with ending the cold war without bloodshed, too?
