Star Wars worked exactly as it was intended to work. The Soviets believed it and devoted immense amounts of their budget to counter a program that was the equivalent of Patton’s FUSAG in the UK. The result was a rapid escalation in the decline of their economy and the desire of the people to kick out the Communist leadership.
We could debate the evils of the Sandinista’s vs those of the Contra’s for a month and never agree on who was worse. But we would have to agree that both were guilty of horrific human rights violations. Such a sanitary phrase for murder, torture, kidnapping, etc.
It was the culmination of the Cold War, with the US and the USSR overtly and covertly fighting a proxy war across the entire globe.

Trump won the election — by a landslide,widespread undetectable voter fraud,
Saddam did 9/11,the invasion of Iraq will pay for itself,
contract with America,OBAMA IS COMING FOR YOUR GUNS!,
the filibuster has never been used for racist purposes,
good guy with a gun,
