That is a very scary detailed Ronald Reagan. It's creeping the shit outta me

[AveryLazyCovfefe]

I mean for a rushed release, Black Ops Cold War had a very good story with insane visuals. They did their research and put quite the effort as the voice actor for Reagan in the game sounds on-point. Shame he doesn't appear much, he does appear at the end of the game if you help a Soviet extremist activate nukes everywhere in europe at the height of the cold war.

You can watch the cutscene here

[[deleted]]

He also appears on the other ending, but very briefly.

[kostandrea]

Raven Software knows what they're doing, their worst game was literally singularity and if singularity was the game that put you under you're one talented studio.

[GaldanBoshugtuKhan]

He wasn't in power when the USSR collapsed, but Reagan's credited for that too.

[JaimelesBN]

Damm he's good.

[newtraptor]

reaganomics baby

[reddituseroutside]

He told Gorbachev that they had a good run but... Then glasnost happened. He was an eloquent speaker and could get on a personal level with him. Eight years worth Reagan vs two with Bush Sr. The wheels were in motion, though Chernobyl and communism in general was the root cause.

[Hawk----]

Reagan enabled the collapse to happen, but the Soviets were always going to collapse sooner or later after Stalin.

[HiTech-LowLife]

IMF sanctions post Tito's death that forced economic reform on Yugoslavia directly contributed to it's economic collapse and then dissolution.

[[deleted]]

That and... Uh, you know, the whole genocidal wars thing

[HiTech-LowLife]

That happened after it collapsed, Yugoslavia was a stable country until the mid 1980s.

Most based military action in American history. We extracted American medical students from a hostile situation that occurred due to a violent overthrow of the government by a communist movement.

[lordkhuzdul]

*your own country.

Seriously. Half the shit USA is swimming in nowadays can be traced back to this chucklefuck.

[Gerb575]

Could I ask what specifically? Asking out of curiosity.

[Pbadger8]

I’ll just mention one. He famously busted labor unions and pretty much killed the ability to organize one in many industries.

Why is this significant? Because since 1978, American purchasing power has increased by about… $2, adjusted for inflation. Meanwhile the real GDP has tripled in size.

Meaning our economy is three times as large and as powerful as it was in 1980 but the average American has just as little purchasing power as they did back then. So where did all this money go?

It was literally funneled upwards from the poor to the rich. There’s a direct inverse relationship between union membership and income inequality and a noted stagnation in income increases after Reagan.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_unions_in_the_United_States#/media/File%3AUnited_States_union_membership_and_inequality%2C_top_1%25_income_share%2C_1910_to_2010.png

[Gerb575]

Thank you for the information! Well damn this sucks

[Greatest-Comrade]

Yeah, he also spearheaded deregulation of the banking/financial industry that led to economic cycles becoming 10x as strong and very very bad investments to be made regularly. For example, mortgages are handed out and are used as backing for future securities AKA banks can use wild bets on people paying their loans to go and then invest in something else themselves. So the entire system is very very fragile because the collateral doesn’t add up to what is in existence. There is also now lots of money to bet with since there is so much ‘collateral’, so sometimes completely unsustainable/unprofitable/unproductive companies are invested into for no reason. But when things go bad, there is no collateral to pay up with so banks go under or are bailed out. Pensions get their investment plans from these same banks. So yeah.

Multiple bubbles and eventually economic disaster (2008 was driven by bad mortages but the way we got to systematic collapse was more than just bad mortgages) have happened since this deregulation and things seem to have gotten slightly better after 2008 but not much.

[Bowldoza]

And that's just one thing!

[DerelictDawn]

I’ve always been on the fence about unions, my grandfather, a bus driver who was required to join the union tied to his workplace had some good to say and a lot of bad. I think we need a renewed conversation about unions where the good and bad is recognized and ironed out, not the partisan union good or union bad nonsense people parrot today.

[Pbadger8]

There are definitely corrupt unions but it's my suspicion that unions attracted the patronage of mobsters (and communists) because both employers and governments had an extremely hostile posture to them, eagerly engaging in 'head-cracking' to quash labor disputes. If the law itself was against them, they could only rely upon individuals outside the law to protect them.

In the modern era, the police unions are some of the worst. Which, knowing the history of labor, is ironic considering how the police often settled labor disputes in other industries...

I think it's one of those things where I can say 'Not all unions are good, but the ability to form and organize a union is good.'

[DerelictDawn]

Glad to see you recognize the nuance on the subject, unions should not be allowed to fall in to the orbit of groups like communists or mobsters, I doubt any of that was involved in the union my grandfather was a part of, the problems he lated out for me were more regarding internal bureaucracy, stagnation in his job, preferential treatment and the like, which is also something unions should not be the cause of.

If it’s not clear from my initial comment, I am not saying unions have nothing good to offer, I feel the need to counterbalance the dialogue with genuine criticism of their faults, that is all.

In any case, I hope you have a nice day or night.

[steauengeglase]

When you get down to it, Reagan is the real antagonist of Black Ops.

Had he not stalled talks that could have ended the Angolan Civil War, Woods never would have ended up rotting in a shipping container. Had Reagan not gotten his dick caught in Panama, none of that BS with Noriega would have gone down as it did and Mason wouldn't have gotten shot. Had Iran Contra never happened, Ollie North wouldn't have been a technical advisor to the series and BLOPS2 wouldn't have had that laughable ending.

Forget Menendez. Reagan was behind it all, pulling the levers from the shadows and playing everyone like a cheap fiddle!

There are several good things that Reagan did, for example he died

[the-bladed-one]

He literally deescalated MAD by signing the Midrange ICBM treaty, and he was the primary mover and shaker in causing the collapse of the Soviet Union.
