March 8, 1983. Ronald Reagan. He did a lot of damage but he was not wrong about Russia. Here we are in 2024 and I can’t believe the US is tolerating, promoting and accepting the Russian involvement in US politics. Musk has government contracts on top of it all!

>President Ronald Reagan, speaking on this day in 1983 at the convention of the National Association of Evangelicals in Orlando, Florida, branded the Soviet Union an “evil empire,” further cooling already chilly relations between the White House and the Kremlin.

>“In your discussions of the nuclear freeze proposals,” Reagan said, “I urge you to beware [of] the temptation of pride, the temptation of blithely declaring yourselves above it all, and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and, thereby, remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong and good and evil.”
