    This was back when leaders were more concerned with maintaining our freedom rather than "keeping us safe". What a shift in priorities.

    • @OskarforbergSWE
      @OskarforbergSWE 10 ปีที่แล้ว +24

      Well... the world is a lot more free now. The soviet union has fallen. Fighting communism is no longer a fight for the imminent survival of the democratic world and our individual liberties. China is still a communist state, yes. But it is not the soviet union. It does not seek to be the new soviet union. The cold war is over.

      Oskar Förberg We're far less free in America now as compared to then. Also, I wouldn't trust Putin. He's up to some very sneaky stuff. Did you know he has control over North American uranium? He's made life miserable for his fellow Russians. Since his "adventures" started in Ukraine, there has been a huge loss of foreign investment in Russia.

      ***** The Russians and Chinese love Putin because he stands up to the western world.

      Great point. Our current leader seems more like a traitor to Western Nations.

    How would Ronald Reagan have re-acted to 9/11
    He would have opened up a can of woop-ass
    This video reminds all of us why he was the most remarkable leader of the last 50 years.

    No wonder Poland has dozens of statues, parks, squares, metro station named after Reagan and Woodrow Wilson America was always a friend. Polish heroes fought for America also from Pulaski and Kosciuszko in the Revolutionary War to Polish military contingents in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Reagan was the greatest American President since Eisenhower, and one of the greatest of all time. Proud.

      +Anon54387 I agree, but our politicians can't fix the problems, yet want to increase the variables to the problem with no answer to the equation. If someone says fix the problem your racist. I'm a racist because I want answers to our (all people) problems.

    What a great speech, delivered with purpose but humility. How different to the petty mud slinging associated with current Republican nominees.

    As our president becomes just another, more dangerous Carter, I think a proper reaction is another, more constitutional Reagan.

    • @Dav-tq8hz
      @Dav-tq8hz 7 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Thanks for replying. Americans have a reputation for being loud, crude, big-ish. ... There is an old joke about an American that 'Walks into a china shop'.....who can't turn around without. messing everything up. That's his refrence. He is making a joke about himself.

    @guyfroml 14 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    smezec,
    I surely hope you are not comparing the United States to the Soviet Union??? The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan for more power and control...the U.S. went there in retaliation for its leadership and part in the 911 terroristic attacks. If your comment is a smack against Reagan, comparing the two events and reasons as similar are absurd.

    The British Embassy technically isn't HM's land. The grounds of the British Embassy are US soil.

      Actually the land an embassy is on is owned by that country.

    • @Dogmeat1950
      @Dogmeat1950 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      NOPE!!!! The British Embassy is British Soil. as goes for the American Embassy in the UK is American Soil just as the American Bases in the UK is American Soil

      *****
      Not what the U.S. State Department thinks:
      diplomacy.state.gov/discoverdiplomacy/diplomacy101/places/170537.htm
      These guys think that's a no-no as well:
      integrity-legal.com/legal-blog/miscellaneous/laws-and-rules-regarding-extraterritoriality/
      treaties.un.org/doc/Treaties/1964/06/19640624%2002-10%20AM/Ch_III_3p.pdf
      Official document in articles 22+ regards the contents of the mission as property of the sending nation, not territory. Otherwise, the U.S. would have OFFICIALLY declared war on North Vietnam on 29 December 1975.

    Someone who admires Josip Broz Tito the dictator of the artificial country of Yugoslavia who ruled a country for half a century wants to say something about the great Mr. Ronald Regan. You're watching the wrong youtube video. I suggest you watch Gadhafi and Saddam dictatorships as well.
