Just catching up. This speech appears to have been a serious doctrine setting moment. The kind of speech I think politicians stopped making in the 70s. It went out of fashion at some point. Signature policies began to be used to convey doctrine rather than explicit speeches.

Closest I can think of is Bush’s axis-of-evil speech and Reagan’s ‘9 most terrifying words’ Trump talked through immigration executive orders. Obama through ACA. Clinton talked a lot but said very little by way of doctrine. Doctrine = Seriously designating an enemy
