"xcept, what the hell was going on in the world in 1938, 1958, and 1986. NOTHING! Here we are in the beginning of a long, brutal, and bitter war and the nation throws it towards the Dems."
A joke?
1938 had Hitler
1958 was the midst of the cold war
1986 was the least perilous of the three but the cold war was still going on.
In 1986 President Reagan bombed Libya and finished the deployment of hundreds of nuclear-tipped Pershing II IRBMs in Germany and England.
1938 had Hitler
1958 was the midst of the cold war (Korea, the Russians exploding an H-Bomb)
1986 was the least perilous of the three but the cold war was still going on. (Russia was going to either invade the middle east, or collapse - not that this was in the news)
