SDI was pretty insane. Flying cars from Back to the Future 2 set in 2015 seemed more realistic. Watching this at the end of 2020 with over 35 years of more advanced technology, the reality is the system still wouldn't work well enough. You can stop a few missiles, you might even be able to stop 90 percent of them, but no matter what some get through and you're destroyed anyway despite the trillions you spent developing a somewhat effective missile shield.

Some people think President Reagan knew SDI could never be created during the 1980s. He marketed this set of defensive weapons as a way to either force the Soviet Union to spend even more of its dwindling resource onto its military which would hasten the demise of the Soviet Union's economy, or motivate the Soviet leader to agree to the treaties for total arms reductions.

@pgr3290

Жыл бұрын

@@chiensyang Possible but unlikely. We tend to look back on history knowing the result and attribute grand master plans to people who in reality had no idea what was going to happen as a result of their actions. Virtually nobody in the West thought the USSR could collapse so quickly and comprehensively- even in 1990 after Reagan was gone! Reagan's grasp of science and his funding of science early on was poor. Key personal advisors like George Keyworth and Edward Teller seem to have encouraged him over SDI. He delegated and trusted them despite Teller's wild concepts. When a real opportunity arose with Gorbachev to agree a massive arms control deal and possibly even get rid of all nuclear weapons one of the critical aspects of such a deal from the Soviet perspective was abolishing SDI altogether, which Reagan flat out refused to do. It was his pet project and he was invested deeply, both politically and economically. It is more likely he listened to his top advocating science advisors and just let them get on with it, who had obvious funding motivations themselves to not spell out the pie in the sky to the office of the president. Finally we must have some perspective and try not to simplify; SDI in itself never really bankrupted the USSR. Perhaps a contributing factor, but a small part of a very large tapestry.

There is no way on earth you can justify "pay and tax" for a nuero surgeon at the same level as a shelf stacker in Walmart. This is why there will never be financial equality, it is not possible, or where is the reason for the surgeon to work? what is his drive? who will pay his debts, why go to school to learn to be a surgeon at all if there is no money in it?Wealth redistribution, and the "war on the rich" are ways of creating division in the country and winning elections, nothing more. If you promised me all my bills would be paid and I would still have a good lifestyle, I would vote for you!The problem with increasing taxes on big companies and the rich is they will just move their money and their businesses elsewhere, costing jobs and tax revenue, they can afford to do that. Big companies work FOR PROFIT, people invest their hard earned money FOR PROFIT, they are not charities or they would go out of business. The only people then left to pay for all these government programs is the middle/working class, who are already taxed heavily as it is; those at the bottom end, who in general pay very little to no tax, do not care as long as they get their share.There are only so many non skilled jobs to go around, and that number is dwindling slowly with computer integration and mechanization, it has been this way for 60 years. Personally I favor educating and increasing productivity, If you simply keep redistributing other people's wealth, eventually the worker will find no reason or justification to work. One of the things that made this country great was the drive to succeed, to improve your life and that of your family; by taking things away from the workers, to give to those who do not and make everyone equal, we are killing that drive and justification. We eventually get to the stage where you are better of not working and not contributing at all to society.

That through the use of capatilism, free markets, and trade possibilies for wealth are limitless. Those who are upset are only so because they look at what they have and are just not content when they see the billionaires and millionaires. At some point there is going to be a bottum rung in the pay arena. At some point those at the bottom will either have to be content, look at our standard of living today and how improved the poor of today live in countries like the US compared to say 300 years ago in China or anywhere for that matter. We are at the point where the rich of people from back in time would trade an arm to live poor today. You can either live content (if you can, I realize a majority of the world does not live in a situation where I could be content, Im speaking in general hoping for a future where everyone can live at least how the poor in the US live today) or get motivated and go earn some profit, GET DRIVEN!

^LOL^ Bwaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaa Obviously, you are highly skilled and well educated; I am seriously in awe of your well thought out response, overwhelmed by your knowledge of the subject at hand, completely swayed by facts you've put forth, and humbled by the poetic delivery with which you relayed your intelligent response. I can only hope my response carries a portion of the dignity and intelligence that yours did: ,,I,, ~_~ ,,I,,

Thatcher brought the U.K. back out of economic collapse, both of them ended stagflation which we have not seen since until 2022, Reagan and Thatcher both pushed hard for the G7 nations to be closer in economic and political ties as well as expanding NATO. All of this while communism and socialism still ran rampant around the globe claiming millions of lives from Ethiopia to El Salvador.

wow really shows how evil the uk govt is

Ronald Reagan was a horrible President. I hope Bernie Sanders runs in 2020.

Mag Tinfal not everyone can agree with Reagan. But no one, liberal or conservative, should undermine that he played a huge role in ending the Cold War.
