1983: Reagan and “the evil empire”

Thursday, March 8, 2018 0:33

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

On this day in 1983, Pres Reagan used “the evil empire” phrase for the second time:

“Reagan’s aggressive stance toward the Soviet Union became known as the Reagan Doctrine. He warned against what he and his supporters saw as the dangerous trend of tolerating the Soviets’ build-up of nuclear weapons and attempts to infiltrate Third World countries in order to spread communism. Advocating a peace through strength policy, Reagan declared that the Soviets must be made to understand we will never compromise our principles and standards [nor] ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire. To do so would mean abandoning the struggle between right and wrong and good and evil.”

It was a brilliant move. Pres Reagan made the point that the USSR represented an evil ideology that denied basic freedoms.
