Seeing as how he would be similar to Reagan in building a strong national defense to ensure the USSR didn’t try to attack us, I think his presidency, like Reagan’s, would have likely ended with the collapse of Soviet Union. In both cases it was more a matter of waiting them out, while making sure we weren’t weak defense-wise. That is primarily what we did and what I believe Paul would have done.

If Ron Paul did Reagan’s tenure (or Reagan followed Ron Paul’s philosophy), Russia would probably dominate the Middle East.

No, no, no! Reagan declared war on the Soviets in all areas. To say he just "waited them out" is pure fantasy.
