US President and the Doctrine

Introduction

United States adopted the doctrine of geopolitical setting and decisive advantage for U.S. forces in the world with the advent of Ronald Reagan power in 1980. It had the imperatives which required revision of the existing world order balance and eliminated the only opponent of U.S. on the world stage. The result was the collapse of the Soviet Union and the establishment of the New World Order. President Reagan was the first person who embarked on the path of legal counter-revolution.
