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.

Where are you getting that from?

I didn't know ANYONE, back then, who became anti-war/anti-nukes/ban the bomb, pro-USSR after seeding that movie, when it came out.

Story goes that when President Reagan took office one of the first things he wanted to see was the war room. It only existed in the movie.

Back in the 80s when home video hit the big time, not one B-52 crew member was without their own copy of “Dr. Strangelove.”
