Have We Ever Enjoyed A Good Run?

Yeah, God forbid he spend money on the military. Not like the Soviets were able to keep up or anything.

It was sooooooo important that we had 50,000 nuclear warheads to the Soviets' 45,000.

If we had stopped at 100, we still could have destroyed their country and saved billions of dollar.

Yeah, it was important. That's why we won. That's why you're free to spout stupidity on a message board.

Why do conservatives hang on to the Reagan-ended-Communism dogma?

There's virtually no evidence to substantiate it. Records indicate the Soviets were in serious trouble at least in the 70s, probably the 60s, and the military adventure that accelerated what would have been an Ottoman Empire-like decline (Afghanistan), started before Reagan took office. The arms race had little to do with it.

Actually, it was Reagan-Thatcher-JP II.

Afghanistan started it. They finished it.

Lymna is right. Afghanistan started. Reagen finished it by supporting the Taliban against the Evil Empire.
And we all know how great the Taliban was as compared to Communism.

Just think, Ronald Reagn brought down communism and the World Trade Center.
