Member when Reagan won the Cold War and they gave the Nobel Prize to Gorby?

I member.

In all seriousness, Gorbachev (in thinking he could reform and tame communism) allowed the Soviet Union to fall. Even though it wasn't what he intended, we owe him a debt all the same. Not as much as we owe to Reagan, but still.

Someone better watch him at his funeral. He may sneak out and get drunk.

Meh. Leadership provides purpose, direction and motivation. After Carter and Ford, Reagan was just what the doctor ordered.

Fun fact: Gorbachev's only stipulation to making a Pizza Hut Commercial was that he wouldn't have to actually eat any pizza.

They need to rename "The Mandela Effect" to "The Gorbachev Effect" because that dude died decades ago.

Literally anyone could have done a better job than Yeltsin, even an ex commie. Russia would be as developed as the rest of Europe (would of adapted to Capitalism better) and we wouldn't have ended up with Vlad if Yeltsin wasn't such an embarrassment.

Gorbachev entering the final stage on a helicopter, and the dancing music, makes it that much better.

Funny thing is, they genuinely liked each other. Spent time together on Reagan's ranch after both were retired.


shite he spoke at GHWB’s 80th birthday extravaganza in Houston, along with lee greenwood playing god bless the USA. Guy had some baw in him after all.
