the link you provided (the Wikipedia one doesn't really cover the issue) only claims that Reagan had some influence in it. Some. So the argument here is did Reagan have some influence in the collapse or none at all. Am I right here?
Actually, the argument you were proposing was that the Soviets did NOT try to follow suit with Reagan's defense spending. Which was wrong.

And that spending directly led to many of the policies which ultimately collapsed the USSR.

Regarding SDI, my point still stands.
