Tiberius Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 I love these pictures. Our presidents showing off our great country to a guy who wanted the best for his. Reagan would tell the Soviets how nice Americans had it. Just look at how ordinary Americans had their own boats for weekend fun. I read this book on Cold War: https://www.amazon.com/Soul-Mankind-United-States-Soviet-ebook/dp/B005KJV3LQ In it he describes a really crazy scene (if I remember correctly) with Bush and his advisors just sitting there and asking Gorby, come on, just let the Germans hold elections. Finally, he just said yes, and that was it! The Wall soon after came down. German unification scared the Soviets, but they got it done. RIP to a statesman who made a lasting difference
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted September 1, 2022 Posted September 1, 2022 No surprise how the devout communists celebrate the life of a devout communist.. Viva Fidel too amirite?
TSOL Posted September 1, 2022 Posted September 1, 2022 I don't know what this means, I'm not going to try to pretend like I understand Russia https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/putin-will-not-attend-gorbachev-funeral-due-scheduling-constraints-kremlin-2022-09-01/ Dosent seem like a real happy place to live though.
