Throwback Thursday with President Reagan (Season 2) Ep 12 - Military Strength

Ronald Reagan began speaking of Peace Through Strength on a more national level during the 1980 presidential campaign. Ronald Reagan argued that President Jimmy Carter’s administration failed to maintain the “margin of safety” between the United States and the Soviet Union. He also advocated for negotiation with the declining Soviet Union as well as a significant military buildup to thwart the global spread of communism.
