He was a senile old actor who was a total figurehead after Poppy Bush and the CIA put the fucking fear into him with the assassination "attempt".
Poppy Bush and the CIA ran the country from 1980-1992.

The Raygun strategy involved stressing the Soviet economy through escalation of the proxy wars in a time when the Soviets could not take the strees, while he simultaneously entered into diplomatic talks with Gorbachev and marketed capitalism as the moral solution to their problems. His foreign policy is what led to the collapse.
