Reagan hated this word. He repeatedly emphasized to his staff that the word meant "acceptance." And acceptance to him was immoral that the West could enjoy their prosperity and newfound freedoms while hundreds of millions of their eastern European brothers and sisters were languishing under totalitarian regimes. So he wrote a defense check so big that the USSR went broke trying to keep up.
