Maybe true. But he has the wrong timing.

Remember when Reagan called the Soviet Union an "evil empire"? The media had a fit, as they will now. And ten years later the wall fell.

Many years later Gorbachev admitted that Reagan's words had a significant impact on the Communist Party hierarchy creating a lot of self doubt, introspection, and loss of nerve, however difficult that may be to believe.

I agree. But Reagan never called Stalin a terrorist, even though it would have been true.

Reagan had much more political sense than does Falwell. [I would even bet that Ronnie even with Alzeimers has better sense than Jerry Falwell.]
