Post all of your thoughts and cartoons to the contrary. History is histor no matter how much you wish to revise it.

No Reagan was not instrumental in bringing down the wall.
This is just happy wishing on your part. History tells another story.
Stealth Hunter is absolutely correct in his analysis. A country as big as the Soviet Union, rife with contradictions DOESN'T just collapse overnight.
The socio-economical, political and military problems what would ultimately lead to the implosion of the U.S.S.R spanned decades, and as I said any historian worth his salt would have forseen the collapse of the Soviet System years, even decades before it came to pass.
Reagan was not needed for that, thinking otherwise is a distortion of historical facts and indulging in self-importance.
