That when he was in the gulag his captors said look. Here is your reagan. Cowboy comedy and a fall. And as soon as they left he could not contain his glee. He was jumping up and down and tapping in morse code Ronald Reagan called this the evil empire the next guy says start stepping we were called the evil empire than the gulag is coming now with the words evil empire. So the president had finally spoken the truth. With a follow up what it you think the Ronald Reagan approach to syria and iran . Great question. I am always larry to apply reagan also with the iraq war. What he had invaded .
