Exactly, yet I read a post above abt Reagan not dealing with Russia while he not only dealt with Russia, he dealt with commies all over earth.
Russia GDP $2.2 trillion and entirely dependent on fuel prices.
US GDO $25.5 trillion.
He slapped his way to paying 16% for hard currency and paying 100% more for imports.
US is $200,000,000,000,000 debt/unfunded obligations, borrows at 4%.
IOW Coke pays 16% for money, Pepsi pays 4%-who wins?
Communist Soviet Union does not equal modern day Orthodox Russia. Anyone trying to paint them as the same is a fool. Anyone wanting to go to war today for the transgressions of the Soviet Union forty years ago is a dangerous imbecile.
