RIP Mr. Gorbachev. You did what you could and you will be remembered with respect.
Love me some Mr Gorbachev
I remember what it was like at the end of the cold war. Gorbachev was a man who loved peace and loved his country and brought about a change many of us didn't think was possible. I greatly admire him for what he did, and I feel sorry that he lived to see so much of his work undone.
@@xavianstarsider9654 my feelings exactly.
When you’re a leader but your enemies love you and your own people hate you, chances are you’re not a good leader.
The Greatest Soviet Leader did his best to end the Soviet Union.
35 years later, still gives me chills.
Once your generation dies off, mine will fall to socialism until my grandkids fight it all again.
Regan was 76 when he gave this speech.
Respect to hin and respect to the United States of America
after 30 years of the fall of the Berlin wall, we still gather there to remind how long we've spent before we achieved freedom.
I watched you tear down the wall. And I watch as you take up the yoke, once again.
Following the path of Berliners, we the Chinese have another wall to tear down.
what freedom are you talking about? the freedom where you need to pay for everything?
Theres like so many nations not free to this day(least amount of freedom is considered here). They feel you now! But why guys! You only wallow in your past miseries
@@tinybudgie8039 Damn Tiny, socialism doesn't work
I visited Ronald Reagan's gravesite at the Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. There is a section of the actual Berlin Wall just a few feet away from his gravesite. Very emotional.
That is amazing.
@@meganx6726 Thank you.😀
Nowadays, the they/them crowd would have been in a tizzy over that speech
@@AugustBusch- Well, I'm in a tizzy over the they/them crowd.
My two all-time favourite political quotes, in the same speech:
“Mr Gorbachev, OPEN this gate”.
“Mr Gorbachev, tear down THIS wall”.
"Ich bin ein berliner" deserves the same memory.
@@MyMister123456 👍 MOST DEFINITELY!
Two decades ago: Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall!
Now: Mr Xi, tear down this firewall!
POTUS 40: Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall!
POTUS45: I will build a great, great wall on our southern border. And I will have Mexico pay for that wall.
Mr Trump, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!"
@@camdenhenry9153 it was foolish and you know it.
@@CrazyCrackheadify Voting for Buy'd in was foolish and you know it.
$500 million dollars spent so far to keep razor wire and 5000 national guard to protect the usurper, resident select Joke Buy'd in and his treason cabinet safe from red hats...
If you're not suffering with buyer's remorse yet, I bet I could sell you a sh*t sandwich for $2k and you'd think it was delicious.
Speaking of $2k, how's that relief check spending for ya? 👍👌😂🤣😆🍆
@@CrazyCrackheadify does your house have walls and a door that locks? Would you let strangers into your house uninvited? 🧐
Brings tears. He was such a good public speaker
He was a good public speaker
Too bad he was a terrible president and the reason why the US is in the economic dumpster fire now he started.
He absolutely was
Obviously 😂
I watchrd the debate last night, I remember back when we had real presidents
He was but these President's never write these speeches, they have speech writers. It is ALL Hollywood BS, it always has been.
I remember being a kid watching this on tv, it was a great time in history!
We must bring back good presidents
@@L_backAgree 💯%.....
I remember when the wall came down. What a moment of history!
A memorable moment - I was 12 years old, and our family had relatives in east germany. I remember vividly about 1985 when my dad an I picked up an "aunt" from Rostock at Frankfurt main train station. It was something special - she had to file a lot of documents just to visit her relatives for a week or so. Prior to that, my Grandma and I regulary send packages with coffee, choclate, fruits etc. on special occasions like Christmas or Easter. It was really a weird time back then.
Thank you sharing your memories, Alex. I remember those times.
My girlfriend’s family had the other end of this- receiving the chocolates and gifts in east Germany.
The right leader at the right time. I still get goosebumps when he says it. He broke the Soviet Union.
The greatest leader of the 20th Century!
Better than Barry the Wookie lover
Watching this while sitting on a bench in front of the Brandenburg Gate. My how we could use that kind of leadership now.
And so it was done. Today is the 30th annual Tag der Deutschen Einheit. Thank you, Mr. Reagan!
This are Moments that makes "America great again"

@@michaelkoch7230I wanna vomit at that statement. The masses should not serve the state, the state should serve the masses. This quote is basically the embodiment of fascist ideas.
Yeah, importing imperialism and neocolonialism around the world...
What a great man
A beautiful friendship was built. Very moving.
That's my president! When I was finally able to vote, he was the first president I ever voted for. These were the best of times in my life. Ronald, and all the Regans who follow Ronald's creed of freedom, I support you.
lol
Only the Regans? How about other Ronalds, such as McDonald or Koeman?
@@Bombot78Huge deal. Especially McDonald
I remember it vividly. Boy do I love Reagan
Blows my mind that that it was roughly only 35 years ago that Germans couldn't freely travel their own country. It's so incredibly recent. I was only born 4 years later.
I was 22 when this happened, like yesterday to me… Very historic moment in time.
As a female Marine, I was proud to stand in formation for almost 3 hours while this man spoke. Now- 15Jun22- I would probably go AWOL instead. Great post- thank you. (P.S.- Kenneth Busler, below is right- I still think such a monumental slice of History makes for Goosebumps- :) )
Pretty piss poor excuse for a marine if you couldn't stand still for a couple of hours.
@@nickhadfield3192 A couple of things I'm gonna say to you, and I'm gonna censor myself just because of how pissed off your comment just made me.
Number 1. DON'T EVER speak to someone who is willing to risk his or her life for your country like that. It's disrespectful and you look terrible doing it.
Number 2. It was over 3 decades after that she said she would go AWOL. Pretty reasonable considering that's quite a lot older. The job of marine tends to take a toll on people after so long.
Number 3. Stop disrespecting the military. Nobody has the patience for it.
@@pirategamer6630 No, the first poster is right, that she IS a piss-poor excuse for a Marine if she would go AWOL instead of standing there doing her assigned duty.
@@cathynewyork7918 Wouldn't go AWOL in her prime. Willing to fight for her country when she knows she can.
Going when you know you can't is like bringing a knife to a gun fight.
@@pirategamer6630 Marines are taught loyalty and patriotism -- it sounds like she failed on both of these values.

In Soviet America, RUclips Dislike you!
And then Mikhail Gorbachev suddenly appears behind the gate, and the huge entrance falls in a second, followed by the crowd taking over the square
No
to be fair as a kid I thought that was how it happened.
"Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall."
Gorbachev: *busts through Berlin wall in a monster truck, drinking a bud light and waving an American flag* "okay, the wall's down, what now? Should we... uh... I don't know, invade China or something?
RIP Mr. Gorbachev... high five President Reagan wjen you see him...
I totally needed to hear this 🫶🏻
i am getting chills watching this
Gorbachev, in an interview with BBC News, took credit for tearing down the wall and never mentioned Reagan. He also made a comment about the U.S. dropping the bomb on Japan because we wanted to show other countries that they'd have to obey us or get a bomb. He didn't mention the millions of Russians we saved because of it.
lol
Gorby was and is a communist and a liar.
Sure, you saved millions of Russians, whatever makes you sleep at night...
A real President!!!! Perfect? No one is. However, he truly loved the USA and people all over the world. What an AMAZING leader he was!!!!
lol
RIP Mr. Gorbachev... You were a true leader who gave freedom to Soviet Union.
Yes, this is true!
Imagine if Yeltsin didn’t oust him he would have been the prez of Russia prolly all thru the 90s
I defecate on that "freedom", and so do the majority of older Russians who lived in the USSR.
When presidents were... presidential.
the bombing begins in 5 minutes
If you are a president, you are presidential.

Reagan was a good movie
Reagan wrote into his speech, "Tear down this wall!". His speech writers crossed it out as being "Too confrontational". Reagan penciled it back in. His speech writers crossed it out. Reagan penciled it in as he was approaching the podium.
God bless Ronald Reagan still tears me up.
Unfortunately he was a blithering idiot, a racist, and a terrible president. But since he was the "Teflon President", nothing bad he ever did stuck.
@@Alex-mo6yb whats the absolute worst thing he did?
@@melissabakker2085 Iran-Contra. Now, this is all I really need to say because this was impeachable on so many levels, but I'll continue. He did nothing to stop Stagflation and crippled the US economy, armed and funded the Mujahadeen (which would evolve into groups such as AL Qaeda and the Taliban), completely disregard the AIDS epidemic because they were homosexuals, described African UN delegates as monkeys with Nixon, the list goes on, do you want me to list more?
@@Alex-mo6yb omg a plan to stop hezbollah, turned out bad yes. Still better than for example afghanistan.
How did he cripple the economy when gdp grew higher? Also the economy only started doing worse under him when the dems repealed tax cuts.
Mujahadeen was definitely carters fault.
“Because they where homosexuals” can provide evidence for his intent?
Yes i heard the recording, that was bad. And is combined with the irancontra affair the worst he did
I still get chills from this speech! While living in Basel, Switzerland, at the time. I remember seeing a marquee while waiting for a train to Zurich. ""THE MIGHTY WALL COMES CRUMBLING DOWN!" Was what flashed across. I remember seeing that and being choked up and thought "It's about time!"
love him or hate him, you have to admit this was a badass speech.
Reagan: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
Trump: "He (Kim) wrote me beautiful letters. And they're great letters. We fell in love."
This is what a real president looks like kids
RIP Mr. Gorbachev
That was a incredible moment in the history, so, what happens now around the world? Where's the representatives of liberty?
"MR GORBACHEV, I TORE DOWN THIS WALL!"
Gets me hyped up for the APUSH exam in T Minus 32 hours.
Back when a Republican President of the US was the leader of the Free World. Unthinkable today.
And one of the most revered is admired people in the world. That includes even in Soviet borders itself
Vote Trump.
“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall! TEAR IT DOWN!!! REAGAN SMASH!!! REAGAN SMASH!!!”
Mr Gorbachev tear down this wall and NATO will not advance an inch eastward,damn hypocrisy.
Megachad. 🫡💪🏻
Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall
Reagan: Tear down this wall!
Random dude in East Germany: 👁️💧👄💧👁️
we need him now
The world once had better leaders
Thank you Ron we need president like you today!
Greatest President of all time
lol
@Victor Torres Nah Trump put in work FORREAL. Whether you like him or not, he held up his promises more than any president in history it's impressive and history, and again he got shit done. He's definitely an asshole, there's no doubt about that. But he got more done than Obama Bush and Clinton combined, by ratio. Those 3 got 2 terms. But I think everyone can agree that Biden is the worst president of all time. Obama looks embarrassed every time he's around him
Greatest quote from a US President since JFK in 1961.
Or Dwight Eisenhower
Imagine seeing Biden do something like this
that would make me change my opinions on him
Never happen. Too much of a loser.
Even though when America does something dumb the tear down this wall speech always give me hope for the future.
The U.S. does things. Unlike most other countries. So, that could be why we do dumb things.
@@thorstrebla980 because of a lack of critical thinking
@@Touhou-forever Don't do anything and said lack of critical thinking will not cause anyone to do anything dumb.
LEADERSHIP. As in leading from the front not behind.
Reagan: Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall!
Gorbachev: *all right fam, gotchu*
Why was I expecting it to explode after he said that
So powerful speech.
I oppose the vast majority of Reagan's policies, but the world should be nonetheless grateful for his efforts in ending the evils of communism and the Soviet Union.
Let me translate this sentence into German:
Tear = Teer
Down = Daunen
Wall = Wal(fisch).
"Herr Gorbatschow, teeren und federn Sie diesen Wal!"
Who knew the wall he was referring to in 2021 was Wall St.
If they tear down Wall Street we're all in trouble.
Masterful and meaningful.
As someone who's parental figure grew up under communism, this speech means everything to me.
Bravo
When presidents were real men, not puppets
How did America go from this, to
"America is a nation that can be defined in a single word: ASUFOOTIMAEHAEHFOOTB!"
Ronald Reagan, who was famously not affected by old age while in office at all
@@RLutinYeah, it really affected his reelection campaign. 😆
@@thorstrebla980 not the point also Biden is not running dumbass
Watching this after watching Reagan biopic.

The simplest speaches are sometimes the best.
20 dislikes from KGB officials
I don't think you know what you're talking about.

And Gorbachev took credit for it in his interview with BBC News.
Thank you gorbatschow
"Shaked hands with both Ronalds, Reagan and McDonald's"

Mr. Gorbachev, carry my ship's engine!
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia brought me here
If, you seek Liberalization then you aint gonna find it in Ronald Reagan's Administration! 😊 Got it Eastern Europe! 😇
Came here during the Russian-Ukrainian war of 2022. We need him today.
Thank you Former President Ronald Reagan for
Imagine the US standing up to the Russian’s warcrimes in the modern age.
They can't
Because they will be called hypocrites
Plus USA never standed up to USSR warcrimes in the Cold war, because they themselves do commit them **cough** Vietnam war **cough**
The war is a difference deal, it go beyond just normal warcrimes,
So no, US wont stand up to Russia's warcrime just like no one did when America commit them
Они рискуют получить ответку
Ronald regan: Tear down that wall!
Mr. Gorbachev, did in fact, tear down that wall
Reagan was the man!
That President Reagan did putting the Fear in Russian Government 🙏
Ronald Reagan just became my favorite president
It took a Man like Reagan to do this!
But the wall didn't come down under Reagan.
Mr.Reagan .The last true world politician.
His greatest quote
Ronald Reagan - one and only the greatest President of the United States of all the time! My country - Poland owes him so much! Thank you Mr President for the freedom you had helped us to regain! Rest in peace and will be remembered forever.
Anyone else think the USA desperately needs another president like Ronald Reagan??
He was easily the best in my lifetime
mr. putin STOP THIS WAR
Revie Ghaddafi and Saddam, stopping Israel first then we will talk
Plus Ukraine are clearly nazis, you know what they did to Lang Sen back in 2016?
YES
Y E S
REAGAN SMASH
RIP GORBACHEV
Mr Binden, Thats how a president behaves, make good things happen.
duke: MR GORBACHEV I TORE DOWN THIS WALL
Suddenly, a yellow strike of lightning bursts out out from the background. Mikhail Gorbachev titan shifts and destroys the Berlin Wall, bursting into the crowd. Chaos ensues.
Why do you want to mock and make fun of an important moment in history??? What is wrong with you?
Great !
When America had a real President.
