Reagan was good to the Soviets since it would make the bureaucrats gorging money to build weapons stronger. An American president more conciliatory like Carter would be bad for the "defense" establishment.

Today, anywhere in the world a strongman is perceived as better for the US than peaceful leaders. It keeps the "defense" bureaucracy with a bone to fight for. That's how this thing has to be analysed.
