They said the same thing about Reagan, and he brought down the Soviets in a similar way.

It seems that no amount of evidence is enough for some people.

Reagan didn't: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2012/09/le... The SU was brought down by Gorbachev, economic stagnation, the Afghan war and alcoholism -- not Reagan.

Ya Reagan just took credit for it. They took down the wall 2 years after his "tear down this wall speech." It's a myth.

Reagan didn't. The Soviet Union crashed their own empire. This myth of him being a fiscal conservative while outspending the ussr on misguided military programs is something that needs to go away.
