Reagan went up against the old USSR and he defeated them. He didn’t do it by having his goons in the CIA back some corrupt soviet republic and fight an endless and expensive war. Reagan could have done that, he did NOT take that path.
Reagan picked his fights.
Reagan knew the USSR was competitive and that they didn’t have as much money as we had because capitalism works and socialism doesn’t. So Reagan engaged the USSR in an arms race - because WE could afford an arms race - and the USSR couldn’t. Also, because the USSR was a totalitarian state people were afraid to tell Russian power leaders and their ‘intelligence’ people that the USSR couldn’t afford an arms race.
Ego got involved rather than good sense. Kind of like Biden did pushing EV cars when the technology isn’t ready for prime time.
But no one stood up to Biden and democrats because they’re thugs...totalitarians - and didn’t want to be cancelled or lose their jobs. Same as what happened in all totalitarian states.
Then Reagan did Radio Free Europe and lots of ‘Democracy is Grrrreat’ propaganda. And back then it was true. In today’s world when democrats talk about how important ‘democracy’ is they’re talking about their own power. There’s almost nothing democrats respect about our Constitution or Bill of Rights.
Reagan could have stirred up a war in a corrupt soviet republic and started World War III but he didn’t do that... he fought commies in OUR hemisphere because he was smart enough to know having a Soviet State a few hundred miles away would be a problem. Unlike that fool President Sniffer who has China all over South America and Biden puts out the welcome mat for any of those commmies who want to come here as illegals.
So we don’t have to guess what Reagan would do - we can LOOK AT WHAT REAGAN DID. And we know this much he NEVER did a ‘Ukraine’. Because that’s a stupid choice.
The biggest mistake we made was in not inviting Russia and the soviet breakaway republics into NATO. After WWII we had the sense to bring Japan and Germany into the family - which is what should have happened after the break up of the USSR.
I saw your post 57 and almost saved it as the stupidest post I had ever seen on freerepublic.
Good luck with your theories and visions.
