Which is more to the point of why the statement is untrue. The Soviet Union fell under its own weight. Reagan just took advantage while it was in its death throws to try to take credit. HE being given this credit is just as false as the USA being given credit. The USA didn't defeat the Soviet Union - the Soviet Union killed itself.
