Hey, that's a great summary of 1983. I'd forgotten how much happened. That was the year I got married, so if any of the event you remind us of had gotten out of hand, I sure would have missed out on a LOT. I was ten years old living in Florida at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, another near miss which could have ended my life before it had much of a chance to begin.
Commentary: Reagan called the Soviet Union an "evil empire" because it was an evil empire. Sadly, the Russian people have not yet escaped evil governments, as we see today in Ukraine. Anyway, a considerable number of people can get confused about such things, so sometimes it's helpful to just say it like it is, and label things plainly.
Thank you. Actually there is more diversity and debate in the United States about Ukraine (even the mainstream media from time to time publish a few dissenting opinions) than in Europe. Independent journalism (podcasts, videos, online newspapers, blogs) is thriving. Here is the desert.
