I was around during Reagan, I don't ever recall him suggesting giving Poland lethal military aid until after they were members of NATO.
If the US had given Poland military aid before the USSR puled out it would have started a quagmire similar to Ukraine.
Well gee, maybe that's because at the time Poland was a member of The Warsaw Pact.
Reagan wanted $100 million for the Contras and $450 million for the Mujahedin. In both cases fighting Commies.
Even allowing for inflation, that is peanuts compared to the hundreds of BILLIONS wanted for delaying the end of the Ukrainian war.
This Polish turd Tusk, doesn’t know anything about Reagan. He was not a warmonger and would not have bankrupted the American people over a foreign war.

Territory of so-called Ukraine which is represented as Russian orange on the map.

Of course, use the slider to stop at any date in time.
Tusk is Kashubian, many who were Nazi collaborators during WWII.
Zeepers are so full of pure nonsense. Reagan was not a warmonger. Reagan would not have appreciated the Uke nazis attacking their own people either.
This has nothing to do at all with Tucker, it is just that Zeeptards can’t handle free speech. That is why you want Carlson to shut up.
Thank you.
That isn’t surprising. I would say that the Poles voted for him so that must be what they want.
That said, who really knows if their elections were any more fair than our own.

I strongly believe Reagan would look at Ukraine with his “Reagan Doctrine” of when to involve the US: 1) Only when you have a solid majority of the people behind the effort; 2) Clear strategic purpose; 3) Exit strategy; 4) Apply full, unrelenting power.
None of that fits Ukraine.

Good point.
Reagan would have urged negotiations with Russia to establish a non-aligned Ukraine while strengthening NATO’s defensive capabilities to enforce such a security agreement.
Pushing Russia into a war with NATO would not be something Reagan would support.
Believe me this was my biggest disappointment in all the new papers I uncovered. Wish I hadn’t seen it.
They didn’t vote for him.
That is brilliant. Never heard it said better than that.
We should allied with Russia against China.
Especially since he regarded the USSR as a spiritual evil, vs all other confrontations as just political problems.
Dear Tusk,
times are different. The Cold War has been over for a long time. Reagan did not go around recklessly trying to provoke war with another nuclear power.
Fork over your own money Poland.
Polutico really wants to help the GOP.
LOL
Reagan was always concerned about the best interest for individual Americans. He wouldn’t have prioritized all this globalized spending.
