Following the death of Ronald Reagan, several obituaries have appeared in the Hungarian press. By examining these, a contemporary Reagan myth comes to light with respect to the special relation between the US and the present East Central Europe.

The author analyses the relationship between the US fears of European integration and the foreign policy of the US. He points out that the US aspirations have deadlocked in virtually every sense. Europe, on the other hand, as the great question mark of universal geopolitics, could become the alternative for a more multicoloured world.

The nsupremacy of the US is not eternal phenomenon and neglecting this truism ads up to the economic problems of the US. The growth of the military expenditures and forcing tax cuts at the same time can help the growth of Far Eastern (primary Chinese) economies on the long run. This in turn may reorganose the political and power relations.
