That proxy war in Afghanistan was undertaken by Reagan to bog down the USSR, a stratagem that helped send about 15K Soviets home in body bags and contributed to the collapse of the Soviet Empire.
...........

Russia still chooses to be an enemy. So what Biden is doing is not much different than what Reagan did; support Ukraine(afghanistan) to Russias detriment.

LOL now comparing Biden to Reagan?

The USA and Reagan objectives in Afghanistan were clearcut - all part of the effort to bog down the Soviet Union and keep them from getting a breakout all the way south into Iran’s and Iraq’s oil fields and perhaps to menace India as well.

The Biden and USA objectives in Ukraine aren’t nearly as evident or beneficial to us.

Do we have to add RDS Prime to the list of derangement syndromes that afflict Freepers?

TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome)

RDS Beta (DeSantis Derangement Syndrome)

RDS Prime (Reagan Derangement Syndrome)
