Quit posting BS the defense industry wants people to believe, that enormous wasteful defense spending like the MX Missile or SDI makes our enemies give up and go home. That's BS.

While Reagan deserves some credit for pressuring the Soviets, their downfall was well underway during Carter's administration and was mostly propelled by Gorbachev, Lech Walesa, Russian young people, Germany, the Pope, Jews, rock n' roll and ironically people like Bin Laden in Afghanistan who beat Soviets badly there, and were armed by the CIA.

In fact Bin Laden may have been a CIA asset under Reagan. Reagan also armed Saddam and Iran both. And much of his arms spending was deficit spending which took a decade to pay off.
