Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, you guys need to tone down this evil empire rhetoric because you are scaring the Soviets so bad. They're plotting a first strike because they think you're going to strike out of nowhere. So you actually might trigger a first strike from the Soviets if you keep talking like this. And as a result, they really dialed it back quite a bit.
In that sense, he kind of saved the world. Yeah.
