    As a person currently migrating from a country (Bulgaria), that was touched by the soviets, to a western country, I agree completely with the last great US president in the modern era. Soviet Russia was and still is an evil empire. It's poison still flows through many countries. Ronald Reagan worked hard for the dissolution of the Soviet Union. He succeeded and that is why he is hated so much in Russia and in countries like mine. I noticed many rude comments about him in the comment section. Those are the same people that will continue to spread russian propaganda all the time. Those are the same communists from that era or their children. I have seen the west now and I can concur that life is great here. People have houses, not some 3 by 3 cell that they call home (one small example). So stop wasting your breath spreading your propaganda. You can't fool everyone.

    I still don't understand why Reagan and many other Americans thought God/religion and the Soviet Union were mutually exclusive. My mother, who grew up in the USSR and her family freely went to church and were able to practice Orthodox Christianity. She saw Tajik, Kyrgyz, Uzbek women at the bazaar covered with the Muslim style headcovering. There was even a time where our communist leader Leonid Brezhnev told Nixon "God will not forgive us". What kind of supposed atheist would openly say that to a western leader?

      Communism separated church from state. We do the same thing. Communism didn’t mean no religion in the nation it meant no religion in government. People use the religion narrative to set people against communism because it is simple and easy to understand. These people are bad because they are godless heathens. Meanwhile the Russian Orthodox Church plays a large part in their society despite communism. Most Russians are Christians just like you despite what Reagan says. Reagan uses this just like the Muslims in Afghanistan did because it is an easy argument. Just like America the Soviet Union made up a large group of people from different cultures many with different religions not atheism. God was not a part of their politics though. That is not why communism is bad. Does our system not ask for separation of church and state yet people like Reagan pretend America is 100% a Christian society and them100% atheist. In fact one of the few good things about communism is that they actually practiced separation of church and state. This is not a religious issue but he makes it that to pander to his idiot hardcore religious base. Meanwhile the majority of Russia is the same religion as them. Communism is bad primarily because it is a command economy. In a command economy supply chain decisions have a lack of information from the end of that chain. They have no idea what to produce and how much compared with capitalist economies rich with information. Religion is a cheap scape goat for explaining to people who lose attention when you start talking about manufacturing and retail. The Soviet Union was not an atheist society it was an atheist government. Someone isn’t bad because they are atheist. A system is bad not because it lacks god but because it lacks proper economic and political foundations. Our system can adapt based on public opinion while the Soviet system couldn’t. Communism encouraged theft crime and cheating to generate wealth while capitalism encouraged competition. God and religion do not play a part here and it is sad to see that is why people dislike communism instead of what actually makes it bad. Soviet grocery stores were empty because of the command economy not because of religion.

    They were-and they’re back.
    Reagan won the Cold War, but things have been sliding steadily backwards for quite some time. In the book "Reagan’s Third Term" (by Gib Kearney), a coup in 1988 deposes Gorbachev and the Cold War goes hot. As an alternate history, this book offers some interesting contrasts to how things played out. In this version the Evil Empire returns, this time headed by Sergey Sokolov (who commanded the Soviet forces in Afghanistan). But they’ve met their match with Ronald Reagan.
    It is now clear that the Russians want their old empire back, and are counting on the West-and particularly the US, to be passive.
    As they say, those who fail to learn history’s lessons are doomed to repeating them. Hopefully the US will wise up.

    It is good to think of how he did it, because the gifts he brought to resolving the conflict reflected very much who he was as a man. He began with a common-sense conviction that the Soviets were not a people to be contained but a system to be defeated. This put him at odds with the long-held view of the foreign-policy elites in the '60s, '70s and '80s, but Reagan had an old-fashioned sense that Americans could do any good thing if God blessed the effort.

      You abolished slavery far too late, and then treated them badly for years.
      "Workers' rights and other domestic policies have nothing to do with a country being evil or good"
      With this logic, China is not evil or good either, because to what extent does it affect you what China is doing with Tibet, Hong Kong and the Uyghurs?
      "Most indigenous died from diseases."
      Yes, but you never left the indigenous people in peace or treated them well either. Quite the opposite.
      "Every country has military forces"
      I know that, but the US is overdoing it with its military and the military has too much power.
      "War is a crime, the notion of war crime is stupid"
      Then why does the term war crime exist?
      "Corruption is in every civilized society"
      Yes, but it's especially bad in the US because companies effectively control the country
      "Overthrowing governments has been beneficial in some countries such as Japan, South Korea, East Germany and more"

    It is good to think of how he did it, because the gifts he brought to resolving the conflict reflected very much who he was as a man. He began with a common-sense conviction that the Soviets were not a people to be contained but a system to be defeated. This put him at odds with the long-held view of the foreign-policy elites in the '60s, '70s and '80s, but Reagan had an old-fashioned sense that Americans could do any good thing if God blessed the effort.

    Item #: SCP-1981
    Object Class: Safe
    Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1981 is to be kept inside a secure video storage unit at the media archive of Site ██. When in use, SCP-1981 should not be removed from its casing or exposed to any strong magnetic sources. A Betamax home video system and an analog television has been provided in Observation Theatre 02 at Site ██, as well as video equipment to record viewings.
    Description: SCP-1981 is a standard Betamax tape. "RONALD REGAN CUT UP WHILE TALKING"(sic) has been handwritten on the adhesive sticker in felt tip pen. Laboratory analysis indicates that SCP-1981 is made of ordinary material, and serial numbers correspond with home cassette tapes produced in September of 1980. SCP-1981 was initially encountered by a filing clerk in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in 1991, who upon watching it alerted the police, with the intent to find the tape's creator to press "obscenity charges". A low-level police investigation was conducted, at which point the Foundation was alerted and secured SCP-1981. Class A amnestics were administered before █████ could be notified. Further investigation of the library's records by Foundation personnel failed to yield any leads on SCP-1981's origin.
    SCP-1981 appears to be a home video recording of former United States President Ronald Reagan delivering his "Evil Empire" speech to the National Association of Evangelicals at Sheraton Twin Towers Hotel, Orlando, FL on 3/8/1983. However, at 1 minute and 10 seconds, the speech begins to deviate heavily, eventually resembling no known speech ever made by Reagan. Beginning at approximately 5 minutes, multiple incisions, lacerations and penetration wounds can be seen being slowly inflicted, though no corresponding source of these wounds is visible. Despite suffering bodily harm that would likely incapacitate an ordinary person, Reagan will continue to deliver his speech until either his vocal cords are severed or the tape degrades to static at 22:34.
    Upon rewinding SCP-1981 and initiating playback, Reagan will deliver an entirely new speech, often radically different from the ones previously observed. Topics have included torture, child molestation and ritual sacrifice. Trauma inflicted upon Reagan also appears to be divergent, with impalement, genital mutilation, and [REDACTED] having all been observed. In roughly one in seven viewings of SCP-1981, a figure clothed in black robes with a conical hood will have replaced a random member of Reagan's press detail, henceforth referred to as SCP-1981-1. The significance of the appearance of SCP-1981-1 is currently unknown.
    The speeches delivered by Reagan are mostly incoherent, lacking any sort of underlying thematic structure and largely being composed of nonsensical anecdotes and parables. However, occasionally references are made to future events that Reagan could not possibly have known about or predicted, such as the September 11 terrorist attacks, the result of the 2008 Russian elections, and █████ ██████████. For this reason, rigorous time and effort has been devoted to recording the speech delivered on each playback. Attempts to replicate SCP-1981 onto a similar Betamax tape have met with failure, however, cameras used to record the television SCP-1981 is broadcasted on have succeeded in "capturing" individual playbacks. Any observations performed on SCP-1981 must be recorded on the camcorder provided, and delivered for subsequent review to Dr. B█████, project supervisor.
    Years of natural magnetic interference has severely degraded SCP-1981's signal quality, making it even more difficult to sift meaningful information from playbacks. Additionally, the gruesome nature of the mutilations performed upon Reagan have been described as "extremely disturbing", and for this reason it is recommended that any personnel feeling squeamish or ill after playback visit the on-site psychiatry facility for a level 3 evaluation.
    As Ronald Reagan was alive at the time of SCP-1981's containment, a surveillance net was deployed to establish any relation between him and SCP-1981. No known connection was developed, though Reagan would frequently complain about "nightmares" before his mental state degenerated due to Alzheimer's.
