It fell on itself, sure enough. Of course, Ronald Regan was just lucky to be in the right place at the right time. Ending price controls on domestic oil had nothing to do with it. (Oil prices dropped because of this, signifcantly. Oil was a major revenue source for the Soviet Union.) Coupled to the fact that he called Gorbachev's bluff... Thus requiring the Soviet Union to spend money on things it could not afford. What if Carter had won another term? Hmmmm?
Gald to see you agree with me!
