I don’t see how any of this challenges my contention that the Soviet Union fell less because of our actions than because of the institutional inadequacy of its own government.

Because if you read the commentary of various Soviet citizens of the time, they all seem to say the same thing. Reagan's forceful moral language and the obvious economic and technological superiority displayed by the US arms buildup shook the scales from their eyes. Reagan didn't allow them to wallow in their own self-delusion. The spade realized it was a spade.
