Foreign Policy
Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev, who Russian media reports say died today at age 91 after a long illness, was a rare bright spot in the tragic, grim, blood-splattered history of Russia. Even at his worst moments, he exuded warmth and sparkled with optimism and humor. A passionate political animal, he refused to cling to power for power’s sake.
Such qualities gave Gorbachev the determination to push forward with the policies of perestroika and glasnost—to reform the Soviet Union’s top-down economic system, make its governance more transparent, and allow people more freedom and civil rights. Those qualities also perhaps were the ones he needed to bring a peaceful end to the Cold War—his greatest achievement. More
Many Gorbazisms to come. His greatest accomplishment is the peaceful surrender of the USSR. And I’m happy for that, but he had no choice. Communism is hell on earth! We may being seeing it here before long, not good.
Gorbachev … the Jimmy Carter of the Soviet Union
Why did he have a map of the Korean peninsula on his head?
^^^ Becuz no man is an island, but evey man has a peninsula!
Still “the most peaceful man” none of these stories talk about reagan or thatcher. Just the world we live in i guess.
Just the slavering, simpering, hagiographic tongue-bath I expect from the deep state, establishment, globalist rag that is “Foreign Policy”.
