The Soviet Union collapsed on its own inertia. It's naive to think Reagan Himself defeated Soviet Russia. I mean come on... here's a nation which represses dissent, oppresses its own people, operates gulags, and then comes along Gorbachev who opens it up to democracy. At the same time, Russia's economy for decades has been geared towards heavy industry. Light industry is ignored, thus consumer goods are scarce, while the military has all it needs. You think any nation can keep that up forever without collapsing?

And then when democracy finally takes hold due to Gorbachev's open policies and de-Sovietization, Reagan takes all the credit.

How was he an idiot?

Do you have any sources showing he focused the majority of war funds on Germany? I was under the impression we handled two fronts, and handled Japan rather well; after Midway, the Japanese weren't able to mount offensives, and were strictly on defense. If that's true, you can reassign (not saying FDR ever did) material and manpower to Britain in preparation for the invasion of France.

He pushed us towards socialism? When did FDR institute collectivization of production? Curious minds need to know. Sounds like you don't even know the basic definition of socialism.
