Radio NZ - Gorbachev vs Reagan

Posted to Sunday with Chris Laidlaw 29th September 2013



Thank you for going over the Mikhail Gorbachev story on you Program..
It’s odd how the Republicans in the USA are convinced Ronald Reagan brought down the end of the
Soviet Union using astrology and voodoo economics...

Where as in reality Reagan pushed the Human Race to the edge of Oblivion and wrecked the US Economy
When he could have easily done nothing. But as a trained actor he certainly knew all about timing.

What was odd was how the Iranian Hostages got released just as Reagan took office and he basked in glory then as well.
What was that all about? Oh No, don’t mess with him he is an actor !

I often Wonder what if... Carter got a second Term... Reagan was assassinated... Or Gorbachev was allowed on to finish his reforms...

How would it have worked out.. I know there are Writers who Speculate on such things but it would be hard a daunting task

As for the US They probably would need to start with an earlier flash point like:

If Lincoln had not Been Shot.. Or Turtledoves musings on what if Robert E Lee was advised by a Military Logistic Expert from the Future..
