- stray 16y agoI'm pretty sure decades of mismanagement, the Mujahideen in Afghanistan and a broken oil pipeline caused the collapse of the USSR. Ronny Ray Gun just happened to be in office at the time. But becoming president of the US is huge! Only a few dozen people have ever managed to do so :-)
- martythemaniak 16y agoYeah, It wasn't the unsustainable economic, political, social and environmental system that was Soviet totalitarianism. It wasn't the thousands of political dissidents in Easten Europe who were active, organizing and being persecuted before Reagan was even elected. No, it was all because your Actor-President gave a nice speech and ran a deficit.
- nir 16y agoHello Reddit! :) (If I was American I'd probably vote for Democrats most of the time, but it's funny how users seem to know exactly what did or didn't cause the fall of the Eastern Bloc)

- Florin_Andrei 16y agoYeah, he also caused the return of the Halley comet. I mean, he was in office when it happened, right? He must have caused it.
