Did they pick the date? Of course not. But did they believe that the build up would likely have a collapsing effect? Absolutely. Go read Reagan's handwritten writings from the 60, 70s and 80s. It's there in black and white.
You people are the only ones that didn't see it coming.

I won't dispute that Reagan's handwritten notes reveal him to be a latter-day Nostradamus. It's too bad Reagan didn't tell other people at the time. As it was, most conservatives were worried about the threat posed by the Soviet Union, and were taken completely by surprise when Communism collapsed.
