"Part of the problem is that these idiots really believe Reagan brought down the Soviets." When he started supplying weapons, specifically the Stingers, to Afghanistan, it helped push them over the edge. But, at most, that only affected timing. It was hard to maintain an empire when subject regions like Poland, East Germany and Czechoslovakia had a higher standard of living than even Moscow. And it doesn't help that your major industries are falling apart due to deferred maintenance and corruption is rife among industry captains and the party leaders. But I suppose by GOP standards Reagan was a hero.........he gave out tax cuts and he hadn't broken into Dem. headquarters and then gotten caught.
