Dr. Strangelove was the Soviets’ greatest propaganda victory of the cold war.

Maybe at the time it was released. In retrospect, Gen. Ripper was right about a lot of things (see, it wasn't satire after all!).

The movie shaped American thinking on nuclear deterrence in ways that were to the advantage of the Russkies.

The world is just lucky that Ronald Reagan wasn’t taken in.
