It wasn’t truth and it didn’t hurt my feelings. I don’t think your memory of the period is very good, and I don’t know if your military service involved you much with the European theater, during the 1980s.
For you nothing changes, Reagan conservatives have always been on the wrong side of Russia, even now as they are fighting in Ukraine.
Go Ted Cruz for 2016. Ted seems to have the right idea on Ukraine.
Reagan was a great leader who came at the right time but this ain’t 1980. This is not the same Russia either. Sure they are corrupt and power hungry but so is everyone else in that region. I bet those at the helm in Ukraine are just as corrupt. If they want to buy weapons, sure, let them buy all they want but to just give them what they need is pissing money away.
We would have to give them billions and billions of dollars in military aid to help them push Russia out. No other country will provide that and then we’d be on the hook with no chance of repayment.
