fact is, reagan was a part of the picture so to eliminate any thought that he wasn't a part of the the reason why it collapsed is just wrong. how much of a factor was he? maybe if you're an actuary you could try to calculate it and give us an answer.
otherwise, you'll just talk till you're blue in the face

That is true. My personal thoughts are the Reagan admin knew the Soviet Union was about to collapse but used them as an excuse to throw billions into defense contracts. Something conservatives love to do.
