Parsing Myth from History: Please post here to clarify Reagan's role in the Wall Fall 1989
There is a lot of Reagan worship going on today as part of celebrating the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989. Any contributions that help separate the "real history" from the mythology in terms of Reagan "bringing down the wall" is appreciated.

Sorry, DUmmy. Maybe in 500 years you can rewrite history, but in the current actual world, Reagan closed out the Cold War by burying the Soviet Union in bankruptcy. To the victors go the spoils; you should know that, seeing as how you all seem to put 0chuckles himself on the trigger in bin Laden's bedroom.

DUmmies liked RR's way of destroying the USSR through debt so well, they're using it to destroy the USA.

God bless Ronald Regan, Margaret Thatcher, and Pope John Paul II. The world is a much better place thanks to you all.

Obama is doing his best to let Putin rebuild the Soviet Union at very little cost. If Obama has his way, the only superpowers left in the world will be China and Russia.

Really? Your talking points over the last 20 years have all been shot down in flaming wrecks so, it's time to invent new ones?
Gee....that's never happened before. ::)

Saying Reagan had nothing to do with the destruction of the USSR is like saying our jug-eared Kenyan abomination had nothing to do with the shutdown of the space program, the War on Coal, the loss of American prestige worldwide, and non-stop race-baiting.

Are they saying socialism destroys itself in less than 100 years?

It's always funny watching them try and sell this bullshit to each other. :whatever:

Kindda reminds me of a joke....racist maybe but that's OK because it's about 2 joooos.
So they stripped down 2 Jooos to buck naked, gave one an overcoat and threw both of them in a dry well. A month later they came back and took the 2 Joooos out. They both came out millionaires trading the overcoat back and forth between themselves.
Now, same joke but with 2 DUmmies.
So they stripped down 2 DUmmies to buck naked, gave one an overcoat and threw both in a dry well. Well, right away the DUmmies start fussing, one has an overcoat and the other one doesn't. One thinks he deserves an overcoat too and if not a whole overcoat at least part of the overcoat the other one has. They rip the coat in half and now both has a half but each thinks he deserves a whole overcoat and they fight over the halves until the halves are ripped to threads. Now neither one has even a half of an overcoat but are still mad that each has some pieces left. So they start digging the dry well deeper and wrapping chunks of dirt and rocks with threads and pieces of the other ones overcoat and throwing them out of the well.
Well, after a month had passed they came back to take the DUmmies out of the dry well. They found the well was deeper now with water in it but the DUmmies had drowned and polluted the water.

The weak point of Russia is that Putin has set up a 'Strong man' state, where everything depends entirely on him and his popularity. Medvedev was a just a functionary to keep Putin's seat warm, they are in for a drastic upheaval when he cashes in his chips and the kleptocrats try to grab all they can while the politicos wage war (Possibly even the shooting variety) on each other.

I wish all of them the best of luck in their respective endeavors.

Saint Reagan was a saint even before comparing him to owebuma.

They made quite the trio.
I wonder how much of the DUmp regrets their victory.
