        Content aside, I’m surprised and impressed by his edits... (and I am by no means a fan of Reagan...)

        @BeschlossDC Is what Ronald Reagan once said still true? “…we must never fail to note…the wide gulf between our codes of morality…Nor must we ever underestimate the seriousness of their aspirations to global expansion. The risk is the very freedom that has been so dearly won."pic.twitter.com/JCrskNhiaY

        They mocked him for that. And the B1. And calling Soviets evil. How right he was.

        I remember the speach, and the animation video. It was mostly BS, but probably well intentioned.

        The speech was widely ridiculed in the US, but Soviet leaders decided they couldn’t compete with the US and the breakup directly followed.

        The goal was laudable on one level, ending the threat of ICBMs but the execution was expensive, ineffectual & destabilizing. #SDI is no more but lives on via THAAD & other BMD systems. The question remains, will they ever work?

        Launching protests against SDI aka Star Wars across the world, & further alienating the POTUS, who appeared to be a nuclear saber rattling fool.
