New But Raygun does deserve credit.
If not for ending the Cold War, then at least for being able to spend the Soviet Union out of existence. Of course, the debt he generated in doing so is going to be with us forever. And, reasonable minds may reach different conclusions about whether the price was worth it.

He was an atrocious President on uncountably many other scores, but give the Devil his due, he did spend >Them< (US, too?) out of existence.

New Straw that broke the camel's back.
The SU was going to collapse sooner or later - it was a matter of when, not how. He just gave it a 'friendly little push' to help the process along.

And then totally fumbled the aftermath, along with Bush sr. and Clinton.
