This is one the biggest claims that was made against Reagan by liberals/leftists. He was going to use the nukes. Oh! Run for the hills if he is elected! I remember in University, posters of RR with a skull and crossbones and a nuclear bomb going off in the background. The left’s booklet of perpetual lies.
Yep I remember that talk against Reagan, that he would start a war.
I remember Jimmy Carter claiming that the election would determine whether we would have war or peace. The American people have a sharp clear choice to make, said Jimmy at the time.
