Cold War

Thatcher was pivotal in ending the Cold War by getting Raygun and Gobblechops together and start them talking. Shouldnt forget her role in that. Nuclear war was a big fear from the 50s to the mid 90s. Thats what'll I'll remember about her.

She was also big on retaining the nuclear deterent which seems more and more relevant today wirh NK and Iran. The liberalist intelligencia have argued to get rid of it which probably explains why they got f**k all seats in the last election.
