1. "....Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II, and Margaret Thatcher worked together, openly and not so openly, to bring about what most experts agreed was impossible — the swift dissolution of the Soviet Union and Marxism-Leninism."

The fall of the Soviet Union "freed"
millions by ending communist rule and granting independence to 15 constituent republics (like Ukraine, Baltics, etc.), while also allowing emigration, especially for Soviet Jews (over 1 million left 1988-1992) and releasing political prisoners,......




2. Democrat Jimmy Carter installed the current regime in Iran.
Carter viewed Khomeini as a religious holy man in a grass-roots revolution rather than the founding father of modern terrorism. U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young said, “Khomeini will eventually be hailed as a saint.” Iran Ambassador William Sullivan, said, “Khomeini is a Gandhi-like figure.” Adviser James Bill proclaimed in a Newsweek interview in 1979 that Khomeini was not a mad mujahid, but a man of “impeccable integrity and honesty.”
. .....in one more stunning example of naïveté and poor judgement, Democrat Jimmy Carter installed the blood thirsty Khomeini in place of the Shah.




3. And when the Iranian people tried to overthrow the insane radicals:

"Obama To Iran Green Revolution Dissidents: Drop Dead​

....the U.S. squandered an opportunity to undermine the government established by the Ayatollah Khomeini three decades ago.
In the Arizona GOP debate last week, Santorum noted that "we did absolutely nothing to help" the Green Revolution. But "when the radicals in Egypt and the radicals in Libya, the Muslim Brotherhood ... rise against either a feckless leader or a friend of ours in Egypt, the president is more than happy to help them out."
....the Islamist regime "with its apocalyptic constitution will never give up the atomic bomb" also contradicts conventional wisdom that the Green movement wants a nuclear Iran."

Obama To Iran Green Revolution Dissidents: Drop Dead

Mideast: During their brutally suppressed protests in 2009, Iranian freedom fighters sent the White House an urgent memo calling for help. Under Obama, America ignored it. 'So now, at this... Read More

4. Democrats more than doubled down in support of the maniac's aims:
Hussein Obama:
March 6, 2012, press conference: "And what I have said is, is that we will not countenance Iran getting a nuclear weapon. My policy is not containment; my policy is to prevent them from getting a nuclear weapon -- because if they get a nuclear weapon that could trigger an arms race in the region, it would undermine our non-proliferation goals, it could potentially fall into the hands of terrorists.”

Then he guaranteed Iran nuclear weapons, guaranteed no inspections, sent them a pallet with $400 million in cash, and released another $900 million to them.....and his puppet, Biden, removed sanctions that forbid them selling oil to China.

Democrats lie about everything.





5.
In June, the US carried out strikes against Iran's nuclear sites on Trump's orders.

American officials later argued that the strikes had significantly set back the prospect of Tehran building a nuclear weapon - a claim disputed by Iran.

Trump warns US will intervene if Iran kills protesters





Could the interests of the two parties be more clear?????


Where are the dolts who continue to claim that there is no difference between the two parties?????????
 
To the Democrat boot-licker who added "disagree"....


Everlything is linked, you dope.
 
The Soviet Union imploded economically and that was the cause, not anything said in the OP.

Just a tip for my debilitated pal, IM2.......When I read, I underline, and then take notes on my underlining.
That's why I am able to quote.
Try it....it would make your posts far more accurate.

I read more than you. And I read an article by an economist who predicted the fall of the Soviet Union years before it happened for the exact reasons I stated. I don't need to read your nonsense.

...... Thatcher and Reagan worked closely together in the early 1980s against the unilateral disarmament policies of the left in Britain and on the European continent. As a counter to several hundred Soviet SS-20s aimed at Western Europe, NATO proposed the deployment of a similar number of American cruise and Pershing missiles. There were massive demonstrations against deployment in major European cities, but the West, led by Thatcher and Reagan, stood firm. General elections were held in Britain, Holland, Belgium, and Italy in the fall of 1983, and the peaceniks were decisively defeated everywhere.

...... Reagan won the Cold War without firing a shot; revived the U.S. economy, which went on to enjoy more than 20 years of consecutive economic growth; restored the spirit of America; and established a “new conservative dominance in American politics” based on small government and low taxes.

An interesting peek into the thinking of two Presidents, Reagan and Obama, proves what each hoped to accomplish.

In Reagan's case, he recognized the evil of the Soviet Union and of communism, and embarked on a peaceful mechanism to aid in its downfall. In addition to intensifying both economic and military competition, used has skill as a communicator without par:

a. In 1982, in his speech to the British parliament, he predicted that communism was destined to be shortly 'on the ash-heap of history.'

b. In his 1983 speech to the National Association of Evangelicals, he described the Soviet Union as 'an evil empire.'

"....those speeches had a vital effect in weakening Soviet morale and encouraging dissidents throughout the Soviet bloc....He believed he had been spared by God for some great purpose that surely did not include sugarcoating the truth about totalitarianism."

John O'sullivan, "The President, the Pope, and the Prime Minister: Three Who Changed the World," p.89



5. Compare this to Barack Obama, who embraced and supported evil early on in his political career.

Barack Obama's mentor was Saul Alinsky, proud of his affiliation with the personification of evil:

"Alinsky dedicated his book to none other than the fallen angel Lucifer, yes that Lucifer, whom he describes as "the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment (that would be God) and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom." Webutante: The Late Saul Alinsky, Obama's Radical Community Organizer Inspirer-in-Chief
When Obama had the chance to do what Reagan, and use his speaking skills to oppose evil....in this case the Iran, designated by the State Department as a 'state sponsor of terrorism,' he did nothing:

"... in the summer of 2009, after the dubious election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iranians began an uprising. They hoped for support of some kind from the United States. That that support didn’t come.

Behind the scenes, Obama overruled advisers who wanted to do what America had done at similar transitions from dictatorship to democracy, and signal America’s support. He ordered the CIA to sever contacts it had with the green movement’s supporters....

Egypt’s Mubarak was America’s staunchest ally in the Middle East other than Israel. Iran was (and is) our biggest enemy. Yet, Obama supported the overthrow of Mubarak but not the mullahs." Why Obama turned his back on the “green revolution” in Iran | Power Line

Please provide said quote or admit you are lying.



4. Let's compare Reagan with yet another Liberal light...

"WHEN LESTER THUROW TALKS, DEMOCRATS LISTEN... liberal economist..." Fortune Magazine, 1987


In 1989 Thurow wrote this:

“Can economic command [communism, as opposed to the free market] significantly … accelerate the growth process? The remarkable performance of the Soviet Union suggests that it can … Today the Soviet Union is a country whose economic achievements bear comparison with those of the United States.” Justice to Ronald Reagan


Get that????

Another 'brilliant' Liberal economist out to support communism, i.e., command and control by big government.


Remember....the torrent of regulations imposed by the Obamunists is the command and control of the economy that Bolsheviks favor.






So....Thurow writes "Can economic command significantly … accelerate the growth process? The remarkable performance of the Soviet Union...."

Know what happened a scant two years later, in 1991?

Right: the USSR crumbled.




So....Ronald Reagan was smarter than the 'best and the brightest' of the Left's academicians.....yet which one winds up in the curriculum of the universities?


Get it?
 
I read more than you. And I read an article by an economist who predicted the fall of the Soviet Union years before it happened for the exact reasons I stated. I don't need to read your nonsense.
My mission has always been education, to shred the lies that Democrats tell and their simpletons believe.....such as this one.


NO, the economists of the time did not say the USSR was about to implode....they said it was stronger than we were,

Reagan gets full credit for its demise.




One Liberal wrote this in a recent article in the WSJ:

"It is time to admit that American liberalism is in deep crisis: a crisis of imagination and ambition on our side, a crisis of attachment and trust on the side of the wider public.
Ronald Reagan almost single-handedly destroyed the New Deal vision of America that used to guide us."
The Liberal Crackup


Let's go over the reasons for this.

They...Liberals, Democrats, Socialists, Marxists.... so very much want communism to be correct and successful, that the Left's pundits both ignore the truth, and lie about it.


1. "...Western leftists [suffered from] an intellectual disability when they gazed upon the Soviet Union....they failed to notice the transformation of their own...economies by Reaganism....

Almost all the intellectual energy of ....leftists was spent in attempting to demonstrate the failure of [Reagan's] policies by criteria that were short-term, parochial, and irrelevant to the dramatic character of the economic changes that [Reagan's policies produced]."
John O'sullivan, "The President, the Pope, and the Prime Minister: Three Who Changed the World," p.257-258



2. One cannot help but laugh when reading the prognostications, predictions, pronouncements from one Leftist after another.... John Kenneth Galbraith, Lester Thurow, Paul Samuelson, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., Seweryn Bialer, Strobe Talbott.....one after another praising the success of the USSR, and claiming how tales of impending demise were simply untrue.

And this....right up to a year before the Soviet collapse!!!


Yet....these are the 'experts' taught to this day in our universities.....and the real expert, Ronald Reagan....despised in those precincts.
