Budapest in 1956 and Czechoslovakia in 1968 come to mind and it was a shame that the USA decided to abandon those countries and do nothing. The Solidarity revolution was a Polish revolution which had NOTHING AT ALL to do with Reagan or the USA. Brenda Ann quite rightly pointed out that the Poles and the East Germans stood up to the Russians of their own accord. Poland, out of all the Eastern European block, has always had the stones to fight back a little and retain some measure of autonomy. I've always liked Reagan but he sure as hell didn't have anything to do with the Solidarity revolution. Sorry go back and read it yourself. We outspent Russia in the arms race bankrupting them. When Russia lost the arms race Gorby negotiated the current state of affairs with Reagan. That's why things changed. The Polish Solidarity was a help but not the reason. Besides Reagan gave aid and assistance to the Solidarity union and other opposition groups in eastern europe. Neither you nor anyone else can pull this revisionist bull**** on me. I saw this happen in real time. You saw what you wanted to see. No single president should get the credit for winning the arms race. We outspent the USSR for more than forty years. Every president since Truman contributed to the ultimate collapse of the USSR. Reagan happened to be president when the end came. How can you say that I saw what I wanted to see? No one knew how things were going to turn out. Stinking Liberals were calling Reagan an out of control cowboy "Ronald Ray Guns" because they though he would start WW3 confronting the Russians. Reagan built up the military and forced the Russians into bankruptcy trying to keep up. The eastern europeans saw their chance to throw off the yoke of communism with the Russians in their weakened state. I meant you see it now how you want to see it. There was never any guarantee that confronting the Russians would not start WW3. Reagan was fortunate to have a counterpart in the Soviet Union (Gorbechev) who was willing to negotiate honestly. If it had been a hard liner like Stalin, he would have laughed in Reagan's face, no matter how much we spent on defense. Reagan didn't just "happen to be there." He had a sense of destiny and a job to do that took guts facing down the Russians and the left wing in this country like Kerry that just wanted to give up and negotiate with the Russians from a weak position. You are right that it did not start with Reagan but he did finnish it. If Kennedy was not assassinated he might have done it but Johnson, Nixon, Ford and Carter didn't do it. Clinton would not have done it either. All of those presidents continued the nation's commitment to stand up against communism but they couldn't have caused the collapse of the USSR during their presidency because the Russians were still too strong to be bankrupted by an increase in our defense budget. Reagan came along at a time when the USSR was experiencing serious domestic problems both economic and political, mainly caused by the war in Afghanistan, which turned out to be their 'Vietnam'. Through will and conviction he challenged the Russians forcing them to focus on us in the arms race. It was world class poker game and Reagan didn't bluff. The Russians finally ran out of money with a economy that could not keep up with ours. Weakened from the effort they gave up the hold they had on eastern europe since WW2 and the cold war was basically ended. The Russian's finally ran out of money after decades of the cold war, not just the Reagan years. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |

I'm not a liberal. I am a wide-awake Patriot.
I don't if I'm smarter than you. But I did learn to observe objectively in High School from a really excellent old-school journalism teacher. If you watch TV for the news, you are brainwashed and should not be allowed to vote.

If he appears smarter than you to you it is probably because you are one of those average Americans he was talking about. Try not to think about it too much Stevie. Your thought capabilities are obviously limited. And you just keep on doing what you do best, not thinking at all! See ya, 'tard. |

After enduring weeks of off topic spam posted by the entities known as Steve Lare and Michael Bryant several complaints were sent to Stevie's service provider by several individuals in this newsgroup. The next day both Mikey and Stevie mysteriously stopped spamming the group. Steve posted a bunch of test messages as N8KDV to make sure his posting ability was still intact as did Mikey but the spam stopped. Stevie has since resumed posting but he now is much more respectful toward the users of this group because he knows that he will lose his internet access if he so much as posts anything that remotely resembles spam. Mikey, on the other hand never resumed spamming the group and stopped posting all together The general consensus is that Michael Bryant and Steve Lare were one in the same person. Steve knows that the masquerade is over and doesn't want any more problems so he has retired the Michael Bryant character. I am keeping an eye on Lare and if he steps out of line he will get another SPNAKING. Up your ass, cocksucker! My service might just be watching you, 'tard! |
