Nothing stupid about it, i-node. The idea that Reagan single-handedly brought down the Soviet Union, now that is stupid. How did he cause the economic stagnation that started years before he took office?

By the early 1980s, the standard of living in countries like Poland and East Germany was higher than it was in Moscow. That wasn't sustainable.
