No. Gorbachev did while playing Ronnie like a fiddle. He knew they couldn’t outspend us so he conned the cons into outspending ourselves. Do you remember the stupid threat assessments that the CIA issued annually? Full of lies generated by Moscow to make themselves look even stronger? So we’d spend still more money than we had to? Do you remember all the billions wasted on “Star Wars”? The Sgt York?

And Ronnie, with the brains of a hollywood actor, fell for it hook, line and sinker and, in the process, planted the seeds for our eventual destruction as a coherent nation state by setting up the Teabaggers in their theocratic fantasies and ignorance of science and economics.

WTF? Where did you hear that bullshit? You are totally wrong.
