@darthradious7011 10 лет назад

A great man. A true leader. THANK YOU, MR. REAGAN! I am а young citizen of the Republic of Bulgaria, which was a part of the Eastern block. Thank you for ending the era of communism in Europe, thus bringing freedom to all Eastern countries. Thank you!

@inhibited44 8 лет назад

I was a democrat voter at that time. I dismissed his speech when I heard him say tear down that wall, because it was just a speech. I didn't realize that Gorbachev would actually listen and actually implement it. I thought words wouldn't make a difference. I was wrong.

@Anon54387 8 лет назад

+Ted Baxter It wasn't just words, although words spoken with conviction can change things in some cases. It was also that we were in an arms race with the USSR that they couldn't match. This contributed to their collapse.

He was the last politician I actually cared about, because he cared about something more than getting himself re-elected. He had the guts to stand for something. I miss him.

@lizziemercy1012 8 лет назад

You know, a lot of politicians go up to the podiums and claim to support ideals such as these. But Reagan embodies them. He speaks honest to goodness what he believes. He knew how to play politics, and he knew how to keep our country free. He wouldn't take crap from anyone, yet at the same time we was willing to sit down and discuss peace. Thank you, President Reagan.

Its sad beyond words that I have to go to RU-vid and watch a video from the 80s to be reminded what America once was. Strong, proud, prosperous, freedom for all. I can tell from most of the.comments I'm not the only American who wants a real leader like this man. I damn near ache in my bones I want real American, constitutional leadership so bad.

@ReaganFoundation 9 лет назад

“There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” - Ronald Reagan, June 12, 1987 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5MDFX-dNtsM.html

"East and West do no mistrust each other because we're armed. We're armed because we mistrust each other." Reagan was as much a politician as he was a poet. That speed does more than communicate, it's a work of art.

This was a historic speech because President Reagan spoke truth as he foretold the dying of communism without insult or condescension. At a time of descending economies he brought hope to the German people as well as to all the world. We need a Reagan today more than ever.

25 years ago now, and yet this speech is still just as inspiring as it was the day it was given. I always recall the Mahatma Gandhi quote: 'When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall - think of it. Always.'

Such a great man, as a kid born in Northern England in 1977, growing up reading Marvel comics and savouring all the great american movies of the 80's and music and art etc, i feel blessed to of had such a fantastic man at the helm. As i reach the age of 35 and being a loyal father and husband, only now does his work really make sense. Thank you for all the wonderful memories Ronald and family.

@joycer732 10 лет назад

@hotairbassoon 13 лет назад

I was a teenager in the Carter years. I saw record unemployment, 21 percent interest rates, and high unemployment. I watched as gasoline prices tripled. I saw him disparage the producers of society and reward the nonproducers. Tehn, as if by magic, Carter gave us this phenomenal man, Reagan. Today, I feel eerily like I did in the late 70s, and I can only hope that history repeats itself yet again...but this time, we'll get someone even better than Reagan, would that it was possible...

@Dominic Cecy At 1:58, I think he says: "Ich hab(e) noch keinen Koffer in Berlin" which translates to "I haven't got a suitcase in Berlin yet". At 9:09, he says: "Berliner Herz (heart), Berliner Humor, ja, und Berliner Schnauze (= berlin dialect)" I hope I could be of help :)

25:19 Amen. I'm a Democrat and an Obama fan, but they were truly the right men at the right time - Gorbachev himself has said, and he's probably right, that the Cold War wouldn't have ended without Reagan, because it would've been politically impossible for a President without Reagan's anti-communist bona fides - even a more moderate Republican, much less a Democrat - to take the steps that led to that Wall being drunkenly danced on two years later.
