The “experts” told Reagan the Soviet Union was forever.
The “experts” told Trump peace in the Middle East was impossible without solving the Palestinian question.

2/ In the late 1970s, America’s foreign policy was built on détente — appeasing Communism, ignoring human rights, and hoping to “manage” the Soviet Union forever.
Jimmy Carter even kissed Brezhnev at the signing of SALT II.

3/ Then came Reagan.
He didn’t whisper about “managing decline.” He called the Soviet Union what it was: an Evil Empire.
He predicted Marxism-Leninism, not freedom, would be "thrown on the ash-heap of history."
The global elite called him reckless. A warmonger. A fool.
