Our giving stinger missiles to Afghanistan to negate the Soviet helicopter threat turned the war for Russia. Coupled with Reagan's relationship with Gorbachev and the crippled Soviet economy ( listening up, libs?) from trying to compete with us, they could no longer afford to maintain the Berlin Wall or the Iron Curtain.
Unlike Skippy today, Reagan had real-world measurable gains in his foreign policy. Unfortunately, much kike OBama following Bush, Clinton let the gains go by the wayside while he pursued his own personal agenda, not parallel to the good of the nation.
