Even liberal rag Slate acknowledged it:

"So, did Ronald Reagan bring on the end of the Cold War? Well, yes. Recently declassified documents leave no doubt about the matter. "

Reagan had, time and again -- including before his election -- stated that he believed there was a limited window of opportunity to win the Cold War by bankrupting the USSR. As a nuclear arms abolitionist who abhorred "MAD" as the idiotic policy it was, he believed the Cold War had to be won. And he set about to win it, and did.

No other president you mentioned, had anything to do with it. If you didn't have your head up your ass you'd know this.

Did you even try to the link the statement above.........I am sure you didn't. If you had, you would have learned there was most to the article than just that statement:


This is an uncomfortable position for an opinion columnist (and occasional Cold War historian) to take, but it turns out that both views have their merits; neither position by itself gets at the truth. Reagan the well-known superhawk and Reagan the lesser-known nuclear abolitionist are both responsible for the end of that era—along with his vital collaborator Mikhail Gorbachev.

If anyone has his head up his ass, you would be the primary candidate.
