The best military leaders are those who can win without firing a shot. Considering Reagan beat the Soviets without firing a shot, it puts him in a very strong position in my book.
Besides, it's not the right wing that lies about Reagan being a hawk. It's the left.
Sorry, let us give credit where credit is due. Solidarity weakened resistance to change in Poland. They led the way for another revolution against the Soviet Eastern Europe block puppet governments.
And you think That would have done a thing without Reagan driving the Soviet Union into defeat via the arms race?
I'm sorry but if Reagan had given in on "Star Wars" and the "B-1b" the Soviet Union would have sailed through just fine.
Reagan forced them to keep spending on the Arms race to the point, they simply could not keep up, and thus they crashed.
Glastnost and the rest did not push down the Soviet Union, THEY WERE A RESULT OF REAGAN WEAKENING THE SOVIET UNION.
