This joke of an american president explains the whole attitude towards Russia in American society and a mentality of American people.



FROM PBS:

During a check prior to a radio broadcast, Reagan jokes into mike that he’s ordered U.S.S.R. bombed.

"My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you today that I’ve signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes."

The gaff cut into Reagan's margin over Mondale by 7 points, signaling that Americans are still uncomfortable with Ronald Reagan’s Soviet hardline.
