Of course not . She reversed the tide of a declining basket case nation .Before she showed up nearly everyone in the country who had a job had a government job. The work consisted of 4 people with shovels watching a 5th worker fill in a pot hole. That was of course when they weren't taking tea break.

Best is a relative point of view, you didn't mind a socialist ally when you invaded Iraq

Now I think that is sensible. Thatcher was a politician in another nation and austerity begins at home

You right wing people have a romantic idea of what is right only one person in your list deserves real recognition because he stood on the front line

No Tom the Soviet Union fell over for different reasons, it didn't have the economic strength to keep the cold war going and The Berlin Wall would have eventually fallen. Thatcher and Reagan read the politics and the trends correctly and capitalised on it.

Yeah because Reagan and Thatcher countered the SS20 with the Pershing Missiles despite the protests of the Euro-moon bats. They did not have the economic strength to counter Reagan's SDI . They did not have the economic strength to deal with the fact that their 3rd world adventurism was being challenged wherever it manifest itself ;be in Angola; Nicaragua, Granada , or Afghanistan . They did not have the economic strength to deal with people who would not settle for containment . They could not deal with people who called an evil empire THE Evil Empire.

Yes, as I said, they didn't have the economic strength to keep it going, do you see any parallels in your own nation? And whatever happened to Star Wars? We still have legacies of that era and do you have the economic strength to do more than containment? Some of those who would not settle for containment might be breaking out

Well Obama is deploying it in Guam ;and the Israeli's routinely defend themselves with Iron Dome;and I mentioned the electronic rail gun on another op. Those are the early legacy of SDI . Oh yeah ;and the Soviet Union collapsed trying to keep up.

Yes that's what happens in a cold war, someone goes the way of the dinosaurs, If I remember Star Wars correctly there were going to be satellites shooting laser cannons, we haven't quite got there yet ,and iron dome; well it isn't more than 50% successful against short range rockets, can't imagine its capable against a long range missile. Reagan had an idea and the rhetoric worked well, but the reality? His successors didn't have the same vision
By the war the rail gun works on magentic, not electronic
