Who was more responsible for the end of the Cold War and the Soviet collapse?

Reagan baby.

Mr. Gorbachev, if you desire peace, tear down this wall!!! I'll tell you what that's comparable to the sermon on the mount and was the best speech in presidential history until Bush landed on the aircraft carrier.

And clearly Gorbachev did that solely because Reagan told him to.

Reagan achieved matters peacefully.

The soviet union was bound to collapse in 1941 hitler referred to it as a rotting structure and he was right.

Yes socialism was the cause of the collapse because it does not produce enough wealth to keep up with needs and demands. Let that be a lesson to us now.

So what does Reagan have to do with that?

Just the simple fact of cutting taxes to grow the economy. The Soviets collapsed sooner than they would have because they didn't have what it took to compete with us economically.
