Reagan hasn't been president for 17 years, and yet Obama wants to blame relations with Putin on him and those who thought his policies were right.
I thought my children were very good blamers when they were young, but this guy is the worst adolescent blamer I've ever seen.
And by the way, just what policies related to the U. S. S. R., does Obama think were wrong?
Obama has to get the thinking bit down, first.
Even worse: 25 years.
>>>...a policy that diagnosed Vladimir Putin not as a dangerous foe of the U.S. but as a misunderstood statesman who had been alienated by Republican policies inspired by Ronald Reagan.

Another Obamao hogwash.
US-Russian relations were historically better under Republican administrations.
One can say Reagan presidency was an exception from the Russian perspective but it is objectively wrong.
It was actually Carter who started to back muslim extremists against Russia in stans, it was Clinton who inspired and backed failed social, economic reforms in Russia and backed muslim revolt inside Russia, bombed Russian allies in Europe and it is Obama, attacking religious and cultural values in Russia and it’s economic interests elsewhere nowadays.
Republicans and Russians are vocal opponents against each other, but they are able to communicate and resolve matters in a manner favorable by both parties.
Reagan and Gorby has liberated Europe at the time. Russia has clearly benefited too losing communist power and removing toxic assets in form of a number socialist welfare states. Bush got no opposition and actually a lot of support from Russia in a war on terror etc.
