Reagan was a bystander, albeit one who wasted a huge fortune on unnecessary military efforts, while Gorby gave up on the whole idea of USSR and communist expansion What makes you think that the second event was unrelated to the first? Ol' Gorby was very proud of being the "President" of the mighty USSR, and he did not give up the idea of running an expansionist empire because of humanistic reasons. He was issued a challenge he couldn't meet, and he decided -- if you can't beat them, join them. The rest is history - Perestroika acquired an uncontrollable momentum of its own... etc. Gorby still believes in Communism, even today.
