The left-reviled Reagan defense build up and the misperceived (by the Soviets) "threat" of Star Wars forced the USSR to spend more on arms than their economy could support. Additionally US efforts in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Central America, and Afghanistan to thwart the Soviets forced them into an untenable situation. The GOP was primarily responsible for that. Don't forget the state we were in when Carter was kicked out of office.
