One example of how Ronald Reagan dealt with the Soviet Union from a position of strength was his Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) proposal. This proposal, also known as "Star Wars," was a plan to develop a comprehensive defense system to protect the United States from a potential Soviet missile attack. The Soviets saw this proposal as a threat to their own nuclear capabilities and military power. Reagan's willingness to invest in advanced technology and military defense showed the Soviets that the United States was willing and able to compete with them on a global scale. This approach helped to bring about an end to the Cold War and contributed to the collapse of the Soviet Union.
