Let me explain to you our best of all times president

[RetiredGySgt]

Bullshit
The very link you provided states that a FEW LOW LEVEL units went on alert after his joke

Not the Soviet military

As usual you aare full of shit and stupid

JoeB has a Chinese wife and sings the praises of the Communist Chinese Government every chance he gets. No big leap to him supporting the old Soviet Union or the current dictator of Russia.

Supposedly

He has lied many times about his own past

 

[TNHarley]

Which terrorists?

Was NOT aware of the drug funneling

The afghani mujahideen.
Yea. Of course, the CIA investigated itself lol, but still found some bad stuff.

"anti-Sandinista rebel groups in Nicaragua, waging a guerrilla war against the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) government from 1979 to 1990"

CIA-Contra-Crack Cocaine Controversy

 

[Robert W]

Okay, here's the problem with that.

First, Reagan had nothing to do with the fall of the USSR, and our leaders were completely caught off guard by its collapse. I remember in 1990, when they were still issuing us glossy guides to Soviet Weapons touting what a threat they were, when in fact, the whole thing was quietly falling apart.

Nothing to with Reagan at all. It had more to do with 200 million Non-Russians no longer wanting to be ruled by 150 million Russians, and the Russians themselves not really wanting to bother with an empire.

The fall of the USSR was simply the last colonial empire falling.

As for the "Carter Disaster", the cure was worse than the problem. Sure, inflation got under control eventually, but at the cost of destroying the middle class through union busting and driving down wages. It was like fixing a hangnail by amputating your arm.

And yet you voted for Reagan both times.

You are not clear on the soviet collapse.

 

[Robert W]

They did not have a veto proof, or a filibuster proof, majority and the vote was overwhelming. Ford refused to act. As CIC the choice was his. The War Powers Act allowed him, and other President, a free hand for 60 days....... The mood of the country was for us to get out. Just like after 20 years of occupying Afghanistan. The GOP just likes to pin false blame on Carter. That really has become their favorite cookie cutter model too.

You just have been awarded top prize as the most prolific liar.

Benedict Donald has proven that the War Powers Act is virtually toothless. Ford could have done it and dared Congress to stand up for the Vietcong. Carter had nothing to do with it. He was handed a worn out military and a shrinking military budget.

Carter picked a fight with Iran as you know.

 

[BlindBoo]

Yeah he was just iching for a fight when he let that Despot, that we supported for over 25 years, come to the US for Cancer Treatment. Horrible humanitarians.

Unless you are a full blown Muslim lover, you must admit that Iran was not better off under the dictatorship of the Ayatollah.

Bullshit

It just would have taken one panicking Wing Commander to start World War III

No one knows what you meant they know what you wrote

You were wrongand ignorant as usual

Again, sensible people knew what I meant.

Not you.

 

[JoeB131]

And yet you voted for Reagan both times.

You are not clear on the soviet collapse.

I'm very clear on the Soviet Collapse.

Reagan had nothing to do with it and never saw it coming... probably because his brain was already turning into pudding from the Alzheimers.

Unless you are a full blown Muslim lover, you must admit that Iran was not better off under the dictatorship of the Ayatollah.

But that's the point. Iran is 99% Muslim and is fine with an Islamic government.

The guy who screwed the pooch was the Shah, trying to impose westernization on a people that didn't want it.

 

[buttercup]

"best of all time" lol
Amnesty
Gave weapons to terrorists
Was aware of drug funneling which led to the crack epidemic
Weapon bans (he also supported the assault weapons ban in 94"
High spending
His whole admin was absolutely plauged by corruption.
A leftists wet dream. Maybe not for liberty loving Americans.

Come on now... you're destroying the romanticized fairy tale version of Reagan for them.

He gives an incomplete (lying) version of the full truth. He is lying by omission

 

[buttercup]

Well, in a short post obviously one can't include every single thing a president did. But what in particular did you have in mind that he was lying about by omission?

 

[ChristisKing]

Some of you forgot Ronald Reaganl. Never knew of his wit and ways to explain politics. The achievements of this giant may never ever be exceeded. Trump needs to play this over and over and he could be loved. Reagan was loved by Americans. We elected him twice. He even could get the Soviets to laugh. When the program was supposedly not broadcasting yet, he said on the mike, in so many words that the Soviets never would rise because he just declared war on them and it was a joke.

Enjoy the real Ronald Reagan and please ChristisKing, if you never heard this or did earlier, let me know what you think of Reagan.

I don't know much about him because he was before my time, but unlike Trump ninety percent of the time, he was actually funny and likeable.

 

[ChristisKing]

Trump is a great president but sometimes I wish that he would just shut up. I would probably NEVER say that if I was around for the Regan years.

Reagan is hated by Democrats especially the Atheists. JoeB131 can explain it.

 

[Robert W]

The Berlin wall and The USSR dissolved, under GHWB. All presidents since Ike played a role in that, not Just Raygun. The Raygun Administration was, until now, the most corrupt since Nixon.

He was a very funny and likeable speaker however. He was one of the last Republicans who actually believed in dialog, consensus, and compromise with the loyal opposition.

What did GHWB do to cause the Soviets to collapse? Reagan went after them. And they knew he could out military them. So what did G Bush do against the Soviets?

You sort of made me just really hate Trump again though lol I mean I hate him but at the same time I don't if that makes sense.
