Reagan and Gorbachev’s Relationship Warmed Cold War Tensions

- In the 1980s, the Soviet Union and United States held a number of summits to come to terms with the two country’s growing nuclear arsenals. The country’s leaders, Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, got to know each other during these sessions and developed a personal rapport. Reagan’s charisma and personal warmth enabled him to disarm Gorbachev who was more formal and reserved. Because of their relationship, the two world leaders were more willing to have conversations and negotiate leading to the INF Treaty. The treaty mandated the removal of a specific class of intermediate-range ballistic missiles from each country’s active inventories. That historic treaty foreshadowed the end of the Cold War.
When Regan died, Gorbachev came to America for the funeral and said “goodbye my friend”
girls: i can't believe you didn't cry during titanic do you have emotions
boys:
Goodbye our friend
Because these were the only words he was able to say.
Gorbachev lives in New York
That is frightening. If Putin came to Trump’s funeral I would be disturbed.
Gorbachev was a fucking hero. And he doesn't get enough credit for that. He was the most powerful person in the world and he gave that up.For well being of people
Reagan was the most powerful. USSR’s economy was tanking, they had to fall.
@@kellicr9024 plus Gorbachev was bringing in more capitalism into the country
maybe, but my theory is that the chernobyl incident was a big factor in gorbaciov's decision
@@kellicr9024 No you dont get what you are saying.... I am not saying that USSR was more powerfull than the USA.
I am saying, that leader of USSR, holds more power than leader of USA. Since yk... one is democracy with system of checks and balances and other is not, which both being 2 most powerfull countries in the word of that time.
He did not "give it up." He was voted out. The irony is that while America went wild for Gorbie - Limbaugh called it "Gorbasms" - he was vilified in his own country. After the collapse, Gorachev tried twice to run again, but drew almost no votes. He was held responsible by the voters for the fall of the empire. Putin despises Gorbachev for this same reason.

you two need yoga you need a shower and you all need to learn how to handle real power
Da, you want to mess with me?
I spit hot borsch when I'm crushing these beats
@@theislanddweller1335 ball it out like in Cuba
@@theislanddweller1335 blow it up like a tuba
I was there. They were both very genuine people. It was a great time.
Both these guys are awesome, I wish we had leaders like them today.
We're only alive because of these two. I think about that a lot.
Too much was lost, back them the future seem to be brightfull.
So, you want a Communist leader who killed thousands of his own people, including being the leader during Chernobyl?
@@ethanweeter2732 Way better then the clowns running the show now. And they kill way more and invade more countries then drunk funny Gorba did.
If you are thinking like this it means you dont know Gorbachev..Believe me, I know him, I was born in USSR
Gorbachev said " Ronald was a hawk. He set himself a goal. That goal was, to go as a peacekeeper after his presidency"
these two men, were two of the most fearless men and leaders of their nations..
Regan. Great president. Real conservative politic.
Reagan had so much charisma

K.

The urss whit gorvachov in these time is a difrent
Gorbachov too , but gorbachov not stalinist
R.I.P two of the leaders

Diplomacy is beautiful
God bleess Gorbachev, he’s still alive❤️
Not anymore he died on August 30, 2022.
Well this didn't aged well...
One of the best Presidents this nation ever had
A true fiery Republican spirit during the times when America wasn’t a laughing stock.
a lot of people say trump was the greatest president of all time - what do you think?
@@vitd5283 Trump can't even hold up to Reagan's shadow. Come on man.
@@patrickirish9427 trump said he's better than reagan
@@vitd5283 he is obiously wrong
When adults were in charge.
Happier times I guess.
Ronald Reagan And Gorbachev Are The Two Best Leaders Of Their Era.. Unlike Now We Have Putin And Biden + Xi Jinping And Kim Jong Un
TRUE INDEED.
So true... but Putin AND Biden is misleading. Putin has made it abundantly clear that he doesn't respect, trust or even like Biden. Hell no one respects Biden, and I mean, how COULD someone respect him?!
@@dirtyfighters7751 Your this war between Russia and Ukrainian now wouldn't happen if President Ronald Reagan and President Trump still in office.
@@dirtyfighters7751 Your correct Putin wouldn't dare to invade Ukraine if President Ronald Reagan and President Trump still in office his no respect under Biden.
@@kit266022 Hell yeah. Funny how everyone thought Trump would cause WWIII or how he secretly has great ties with Russia yet Putin only opted to invade when Biden came into office. What a shocker… I mean after his failures in Afghanistan it’s no wonder that Putin invaded.
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
They remind me of Martin McGuiness and Ian Paisley, warriors that made peace and became friends. We need people like them now more than ever to calm the tensions between East and West and avert the threat of thermonuclear war.
It's a shame that these kind of presidents are hard to come by these days
We were Friends! Angels on Call!!😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
RIP Mikhail 😔
This was a hopeful Aera... so sad, today....
They exchanged coats and exchanged skirts. Cold War gone.
Girls:Men Do not Cry and they don't have feelings
Boys:
Best Leaders in history. I so cry
LET'S GO PRESIDENT BIDEN!!!
@greg acosta get off the FAUX NEWS!!
Saved your Democracy!
Got us out of Covid!
Got our troops out of Afghanistan!!!!
The economy is SMOKING!!!!!
You turned your back on your country for a vile thug! FEELING PATRIOTIC????
@greg acosta He meant Lets Go Brandon lol
Reagan, "the amiable dunce" as the ACTUAL amiable dunce, Tip O'Neill, once called him, proved to be one VERY sharp guy, who in fact managed to end the Cold War (with help from Thatcher and Pope John Paul) by using America's strength against the Soviet Union. Reagan personally killed the Soviet Union, although it was left to HW Bush to be at the helm when that empire collapsed in a heap in 1991. "Mr. Gorbachev, tear DOWN this wall!" What an impact those six simple words had on this world! I challenge anyone to tell me anything of such memorable substance that any subsequent US President has ever uttered during his tenure in office. In contrast, Gorbachev was widely despised in Russia, and remains so to this day, because the Soviet empire collapsed during his watch.
Incredible History and Incredible People who made it Possible for our Today’s 5-25-2021 Memorial Day USA 🇺🇸
great step
Now these two are reunited in President Heaven. Rest in peace, Presidents Reagan and Gorbachev!
Actually, Gorbachev seemed to be more relaxed, while Reagan was more reserved
Name a more iconic duo. I'll wait
RIP MICHAEL GORBACHEV 😢 😢😢😢😢😢
Hate to be a Nazi grammer but it’s actually: Mikhail
They both knew that good fences build good neighbors.
Not really. Reagan knew the Soviet empire was evil and its citizens were highly motivated to throw it off, as was Gorbie. To Gorbie's credit, he chose not to kill his citizens as Stalin had done. In the end, the Soviet empire collapsed under its own weight. And now Putin is trying to recreate it....

1:41 that handshake look familiar
i loved these two world leaders, we new the cold war would lose pace when these were having these meetings
You make friends with with your enemies
RELATIONSHIP
R.i.p both president
Why don't you just show us their meeting and let us make our own mind up
I heard Reagan was like one of the top 5 best presidents this country has ever had
He is
It is British PM Magaret Thatcher who mediate betwen Between Mr Gorbachev and Mr Reagan when she pay last respect to Soviet Leader Constantin Cherenko and meet incoming Soviet Leader Mikhael Gorbachev and Perhap we could do business in 1985 relay to Mr Reagan and UK PM Thatcher say these is Man in Moscow that could do business
In 80s Retro Edition The Apple Guest 2006, Death Black 484, Tari will be in Capitalism with Reagan and Vladimir Putin as a KGB Agent will be in Communism with Gorbachev
If you live in the 80s, Is it cool with the 80s Retro Synthwave
Rip 🙏🏻 🪦 😌
best of the world leadership can't be not care and memory but the world will defend it any way regardless.
Its like Putin and Trump on the beginning they were also quiet but then they developed a nice relationship
you think putin will go to trump's funeral?
I wouldn`t compare Putin/Trump to these two gentlemen..
Putin and Trump can't even hold up to Gorvachev's and Reagan's shadow
@@sergio.moncada So true.
I was no fan of Ronald Reagan. But wow, this video reminds me of a near-forgotten concept from those bygone days of my youth: these two men from very different cultures can be seen engaging in the now archaic practice of treating the 'enemy' as a human being, and actually sitting down and talking with them. Vs today's strategy, exchanging ugly threats and childishly refusing to talk, despite the threat of nuclear annihilation again hanging over our collective heads. Are we really evolving as a society?
rip
When the Soviet Union crumbled, Reagan stated firmly to Russia that Gorbachev was not to be harmed.
I'm from the UK and I learnt that it was Gorbachev who was 'warm' and warmed up Reagan's more uptight attitude. American bias? Or is it what I learnt that is actually wrong...
Reagan wasn’t a cold man, he was known to crack jokes at even the most tense moments to ease tensions. Gorbachev was the one who was tense, as most should be when meeting the leader of the enemy country (in his eyes)
Ronald Reagan was the one who make Gorbachev relax.
I heard these 2 was tight like white on rice
Regan comes in second to FDR throughout the 20th Century’s best president. Regan was Barry Goldwater sixteen years later. Regan’s Administration was the opposite of everything that resembled the Nixon’s presidency. Compared to FDR’s four terms, Regan had served two consecutive terms.
Bro fdr is a war criminal, should see his biography
@@General_MacArthur True. FDR was a socialist and a war criminal. Reagan was nothing like FDR. FDR sought to expand Federal Government; Reagan sought to limit it. FDR planned and orchestrated America's involvement into WW2, which ultimately preserved the Soviet system for and additional half century. Reagan worked to dismantle the collectivist State.
Chyba w tamtych czasach wydawali się rówieśnikami choć Reagan starszy o 2 dekady
Anyone see any parallels with Kim and Trump?
Yes.
No. Trump is a way worse than Reagan and Gorbachev is much better than Kim. He wasn’t a such crazy dictator as the North Korean leader.
Awfull comparison.
Gorbachev and Reagan were friends like after 1985 and when Reagan died Gorbachev said good by my friend
@@danfazylov5952 I wouldn't say Trump was "way worse than Reagan", but yes Gorbachev was miles better than Kim. The difference is so substantial that the comparison doesn't work at all...
The cold war ended because of a homiesexual relationship.
Why are you praising Regan unnecessarily
Because of RR, the Cold War ended and you do not live under the nonstop threat of nuclear war with the Evil Empire. That's why, Gomer.
Is This The Beta Cold War
Tricking Gorbatschow
compare the feeling you get when you watch the meeting of Regan and Gorbachev with when you see Putin - Trump sitting together..Jesus!
Putin and Trump sitting together is much more comforting than the thought of Biden with his finger on the red button.
Reagan was a great man and one of the best presidents
I don’t think Western people realize what regular citizens of former Soviet Union had to go through after it’s dissolution. Gorbachev was romantic but he was not an economist he destroyed the supply chain that was connecting all former republics of Soviet Union, the currency collapsed people lost their savings and livelihoods, there was horrific unemployment, people had no groceries at the stores nothing to eat.
As much as charismatic he was he left a bad aftertaste, you could compare that situation to American Great Depression but worse, yes Russia was able to recover but countries in Central Asia couldn’t because all Russian engineers and business people who were able to run the business and economy who were able to build infrastructure left, only a few brave people remain. Depression drove people to alcoholism because they still were grieving loses of WW II. Yes it was convenient for American interests but interests of Soviet citizens weren’t included.
This is fair, but....
These Soviet Republics.... wasn't kind of up to them to choose to stay or go?
Central Asia may have suffered.... but they were still in alliance with Russia, no?
Now do Eastern Europe. Eastern Europe has prospered over the past 30 years.... and want no part of Russia.
@@nizloc4118 No, Central Asia had a significant rise in Nationalism. They have made fundamental changes, but they couldn't trade on the same level as they traded before. The chaos in Russia and disorder was at that time, the time of the rise of gangster Capitalism which allowed opportunists to steal and run overseas. So, Russia couldn't help anyone during that time because they had their own problems piling up. Illegal drugs were brought in, alcoholism was increasing, and people who lost their jobs and savings were depressed. You can equate that to the great depression in a way.
Europe prospered at the expense of cheap Russian resources and other developing nations. They waged wars in the middle east, and Russia doesn't want anything to do with Europe either. They should've just built the wall during WW II and let Europe burn.
Who do you think you are? Trollish troll.
and the press conference of joe Biden and German chancellor.
Gorby sacrificed his power to give SOME soviet ppl freedom..... while others started worshipping religion, democracy, capitalism and patriotism instead of building a socio-economic system based on SCIENTIFIC METHOD....... 🙂✌ (now you know ALL answers - you are reborn...)
