Name one thing Reagan did to win the Cold War. OK, he carried on the SALT talks whicj Carter began. He benefitted from Glasnost which was Gorbachev and others responsibvility. He threatened to build the ridiculous MX Missile System and Star Wars, and nsince Afghanistan had just drained the USSR's military budget like Vietnam and Iraq have ours, that was a push. But even if Reagan had never existed the USSR would have fallen at about the same time because the pressure came from within its own society and from all the satellite states and Europe. Germany was very influential in offering to take East Germany off the USSR's hands and spend hundreds of billions for it.

What did Reagan do exactly? Attack Grenada?

Name one thing he did to bring down the USSR. You can't. At best he only went along with and helped what was already happening.
