The End of Abel Archer

Reagan sent George Schultz on national television to tell an absolutely terrified American public that our nuclear policy was working perfectly. The Soviets reached out with an offer, they said, we'll destroy half of our intermediate-range nuclear missiles if NATO will cancel the Euro missiles. As if rubbing salt in the wound, those Euro missiles were officially installed in Europe mere days later. If there's a guy who keeps saying he might literally kick your ass, and then he starts pulling his foot back for a literal kick, it turns out he's just practicing for his Rockettes audition.
