Mikhail Gorbachev..last of the fearsome foursome..
« on: August 30, 2022, 02:54:16 PM »
Mikhail Gorbachev, dead at 91 !

   Yes, last of the "fearsome foursome"...statesmen in action when the iron curtain came down..

  Gorbachev, Maggie Thatcher, pope John Paul II, and "Ronaldus Magnus", as Rush called him.

  Actually, Gorbachev did not want the wall to crumble, but he had no choice.  The other 3, led by Pres Ronald
    Reagan, brought the old USSR to dissolution..

  Reagan and Thatcher knew the commies were no good...and John Paul, being Polish, knew first hand.. the suffering and evil, brought on by communism.

  Reagan's coup, is perhaps the greatest diplomatic victory ever brought about by an American president !

   Still, Reagan warned that some would be so stupid as to be ready to jump headlong into the greatest political con game ever devised by tyrants..

  “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

― Ronald Reagan

.......................

Huh?

As far as PRC is concerned, who was there creating some of the history, Gorbie was key turning the temperature down and steering the Soviet hardliners away from global incineration and worked with Reagan. Who's going to do that in Soviet America? Neocons? Biden?
Note:. according to PRC with the re-unification of Germany, NATO was not to advance eastward _ _ that was the agreement between Reagan and Gorbie.
.

But as the article reads, United States policy changes with presidents

  Again; pay little heed to what people say..or what other people say they say..

  ...But rather, pay attention to what they DO !
