Mulroney said in an interview that while U.S. president Ronald Reagan gets a lot of credit for ending the Cold War without a shot,"it takes two to tango," and Gorbachev was an indispensable leader on the other side. "He was quite charming and direct, alert, and you could tell then that he wanted to do business," Mulroney said.
Gorbachev's approach to diplomacy forms a sharp contrast to the"bellicose, mediocre leadership that you see today in Moscow," Mulroney added. Russia's invasion of Ukraine is"exactly the antithesis of what Gorbachev wanted." By the end of his rule, he was powerless to halt the whirlwind he had sown. Yet Gorbachev may have had a greater impact on the second half of the 20th century than any other political figure.
