re: #412 Dark_Falcon

Reagan’s actions were far more than speeches. He built a military they could not afford to match while using Afghanistan to bleed the Red Army of troops and treasure. The pressure was brought to bear on multiple fronts and proved unbearable for the USSR. So i would argue Ronald Reagan played a major role in ending the Cold War.

At least that’s a bit more realistic than “Reagan slew the evil communists with his mighty words.”
