@usaeagle1776 That's a bit of an overstatement, giving Reagan all credit. Quite a bit, actually...

@thesailormercury2 Yes, but it's very unlikely.

[thesailormercury2]

@ArsenioGut it could  happen

[ArsenioGut]

@thesailormercury2 Sure... Right... Whatever you say...

@minitrapper :well, you havent impressed anyone either. but you do know that this is YOUTUBE right? i mean really. And that your "facts" are your OPINION. which is what Youtube is all about. Try and chill and realize that no one on youtube or outside in the real world really gives a shit...BOY.

@usaeagle1776

Suggesting that i'm on crack or meth, for example. Those kind of insults. And you insulted other users here as well. Besides, i've never posted any kind of view on history, but ok, you know about a thing which wasn't posted :D

Besides, you impress no one, by claiming something without any proof. So again, it carries no weight if you keep talking while you end up saying nothing. ;-)

Like i said, a severe lack of arguments on your side. But that's not surprising from a BOY.... ^^

[usaeagle1776]

@minitrapper LOL insults? what insults? so someone who disagrees with your "Revisionist" history is an insult? pretty thinned skin arent ya BOY? US declining, well, alot of our enemies have misjudged us, and now they are in the dust bin of history. But you just go on liviing your "fantasy" ok ?

[minitrapper]

@usaeagle1776

Just as i said, the only thing, which comes out of your mouth, is an insult, followed by other insults. People like you are the reason why the US are declining, but that's nothing i have to worry about :-D

And why should i care if someone, who knows nothing about history and has NO arguments on his side in a discussion, insults me? ^^ It's not that if anything you said carries any weight ;-)

So, you better grow up, "BOY"... ;-)

@asdfqwerzxcv6 :Uh, kudos on the 5000 word paper, but the fact of history is that the Cold War was between the USA and Russia primarliy. And that the Soviet Union could not keep up with the USA and the West in terms of defense spending, plus the fact the Soviet Union was crumbling after 70 years of failed Communist rule that drove the country into the ground. The West German nation at that time could not in any way have brought the USSR to it's knees. Get in the real world dude.
