Ugh! One of the Wapo 'great' quotes of kraut was, 'Reagan changed history . . . by bringing down the Soviet empire' - total crap!

The Soviet Empire got bubbled up by the great commodity bubble of the 1970's, the oil price multiplied by double digits, profits by triple digits - when the bubble burst the Soviet empire deflated with the commodity bubbles! Pure right wing Kraut bullshit.

He was a wapo columnist, thats big part of wapo praise today. Also got trump right and early. Kraut said of trump, 'I used to think trump was an 11-year-old schoolyard bully. I ws off by about 10 years . . . an infantile hunger for approval and praise . . . '

Kraut had no regrets, because he never advanced beyond his assumptions.
