I would probably also give credit to Harry S. Truman and Richard "I am not a crook" Nixon. JFK handled the Cuban Missile Crisis with flying colours. But I think Ronnie was the one who was the most effective catalyst for the fall of the Soviet Union. It's easy to attribute it to his actions alone, but he had the support of Western European countries and the Vatican. Yeah, the Vatican just can't stay out of politics because God hates commies. 😉
