Was the soviet union collapse a good thing though? East German communists take over Germany push Communist ideals to the EU. Makes Americans lazy, lets our guard down, we elect Clinton who brings in China, now we're attacked internally from foreign invaders (including those made citizens by Reagan). Russia gets gang raped and strip mined by cronies and billionaires.
Tell me how that was a good thing, and for who exactly?
Better to have an enemy you know, rather than 7 billion enemies you don't. The problem is that sometimes the thing you think you want isn't the thing you really need.
How much of Reagan's failures were actually Reagan and not say Bush running shit in the background while senile Reagan put on a smile for the cameras.
I remember when being a conservative meant secretly agreeing with Democrats on just about everything but you can't act on it because there's too much in the pockets of Wall Street
We're not talking theoretical utopian timeline, we're talking about how things work in reality. Thinking that the wall is going to come down and everyone's going to jerk each other off and dance naked in the streets, was naive and silly.
One side stopped fighting a war, and the other side didn't, while we welcomed the enemy with open arms as they plotted against us. And appear to be winning.
That's based on the idea that for some reason the leftists wouldn't have prospered in the West with the USSR present. They already controlled academia before the USSR collapsed, and that's how they started controlling/perverting our elites.
Germany had a problem starting after 1982. When the FdP( close to libertarians) and the CDU/ CSU ( Conservatives) were coming to power, they promised a spiritual and moral turn (geistig moralische Wende). This turn never came. Similar to Reagans policies.
This was biting us hard when the wall came down. Promises of "blooming landscapes" were not delivered aside from "large blooming rapeseed fields". The government mismanagement of the former west how to integrate and build up an economy again is haunting the German pension funds and politics up to today.
How chancellor Kohl could allow Merkel to gain power so fast, is completely unexplainable.
She should have never been allowed into the cabinet to start with. Not with that past she had.
Since her rule started, Germany is in free fall economically, defensively and socially.
The real republicans are now in the younger generation of the former east, while the west is completely corrupted.
Yeah well, gerMoney is still too strong in spite ofbaoo that. Nobody is looking at a german societal collapse, which is why it will be sudden and swift.
well, I'm sure the Russians (and the Eastern Bloc) are happy not to be living in a communist country anymore. Having Putin as a czar must be better than living in the USSR.
Other than that, a net loss since people thought the war against communism was over after the Soviet Union fell. The war continues today.

It's always nice to see an evil empire fall. It was just a failure of the world that allowed the new fresh hell of the present to replace it

CCP does what the soviet union did, which was infiltrate enemy governments and rot them from the inside out.
Reagan was the greatest President of the 20th century. Trump is the greatest President since Lincoln.
Biden and friends count as an evil empire?
I don't know what this Cult of trump is about. Why are people so cultish around trump?
moST RePubLiCAns doNt LiKE TRUmp
We need to go back to REAL conservatives like romneyy
trump is not a conservative. We Need to go back to REAL conservative principles
like cutting taxess for the rich and tax increases for the poor
And lying about weapons of mass destruction to start an endless war that killed millions and millions of people
And pretending to support small government but then turning around and trying to legislate what people can do in their own bedroom..
And busing the power of your office to spy on your political opponents
And creating Obamacare [but calling it Romney care
And supporting things like the EPA
And secretly supporting the idea of universal health Care but the only reason you don't pass it is because you were paid not to by lobbyists

In 2021's Clown World? Sadly, yes. I wish we had a counter for how many pointers hovered over but did not click [deport]. Good stuff. :)
yes you do but my god I love your trolling
Lots of politicians need to die in Minecraft
Yes.
You can argue about how the followup was handled, but the world is a better place for having lost the Soviet Union.

That doesn't mean the world would be a better place if the Soviet Union had survived.
It doesn't. It's merely a question, because everyone always assumes the answer.

I was referring to communists, not Russians.

That will be nice. Sudden collapse in the land of planers 🤣
