M.A.D. World – Episode 7: Warmonger | History Documentary
Watch ‘M.A.D. World – Episode 8’ here: https://youtu.be/puFWNPlisD0
In this episode:
In the 1980s, the US continues its mission to halt the spread of communism. A socialist leader takes over the Caribbean island of Grenada in 1983, Ronald Reagan sends in the Marines overnight. In Nicaragua rebel ‘Sandinistas’ fight the ‘Contra’ guerillas. In 1987, Reagan announces a new arms program dubbed ‘Star Wars’. Mikhail Gorbachev, the new president of the USSR, attempts to end the Cold War.
‘M.A.D. World’ takes a close look at the last time we were threatened by the might of world superpowers: The Cold War. For over forty years the entire world stood on the brink of annihilation, as the horrors of World War II ended and a new kind of global war began when the push of a single button could trigger all-out nuclear war. ‘M.A.D. World’ examines how the world was changed forever by the Cold War. Over eight episodes, remarkable footage from the time shows how the build-up of nuclear arms and the mistrust between West and East instilled terror across the globe. First-hand accounts bring the stories to life as we talk to pilots drilled to drop the bomb, families torn apart by the Iron Curtain, and escaped dissidents who lived in fear of torture and execution.

The history content who blurs the less..is the better channel. What's with all the blurring if Bigfoot not even in the equation.
I suppose this an anti-American channel. Socialism, communism is an ideal that is impractical in populations larger than an extended family. Government cannibalizes itself when it runs out of other peoples money and refuses to provide promised programs to the citizenry in favor of bureaucracy. Among those other than the government, those getting what the government metes out, will anyone of them give YOU a paying job?
Equality, shocking
27:20…Iran Contra affair.
Crimes against humanity
Oh you mean god the skid mark and its nonsense
Amen

am from indonesa, cold war is hegemony big country, king of military 🎉😊
Let me set the record straight, i grew up in my teens and early adulthood living in Washington DC, i knew about nuclear weapons and knew DC would be a first target. Never lost any sleep over it, since I have no control i just lived my life, …..maybe I'm alive tomorrow, …..maybe not, so live and plan for living tomorrow. It was not a difficult thing
Invade ? You mean liberated ? 😅.. only other countries beside US invade. US liberated
Grenada : "Wait! Waaaaiiitt! We don't have any oil!"
1:26 In contrast to zombie multiplying unipolar world, multipolar world is mutually assured construction.
Capitalism good for only a few
George Lucas, Lucasfilm CEO and the creator of Star Wars, sued Reagan for stealing the name based on his franchise.
6:19 your right.. we should’ve let it become the hati lite.. such a great country
"Together we shall save our planet, or together we shall perish in its flames." – JFK
1:26 Thanks for letting me know early that your documentary would be 💩.
Reagen changed his tune after March 1981 after his VP tried to whack him …just like LBJ KILLED HIS BOSS
How great is america 🙄 involving themselves to oppress others ultimately…yay 🎉
the contras since us congress cut funds to them they started selling producing drugs i had seen it in narcos mexico amado carillio and felix gallardo seen the potential on cocaine more than the marijuana
oliver north is just the dummy or the one who took the blame or fall for this to save reagans butt even when i am studying american history in colleague i do not F**K buy what excuses on this the president knew everything wtf is going in in out any nation this why for ex president trump knew the swamp deep states secret there doing everything to stop his comeback to the white house bec once he comes back there DOOMED
so communist around u ..u are justified to attack…how about Russia worrying about ukraine becoming democratic
Democrats are always on the side of America's enemies
Correction: The video says Gorbachev was president of the soviet union from 1990-1991. He was the premier of the soviet union from 1985-1991
I like how he's called a warmonger, and Obama took us from 2 wars to 7, and gets a peace prize, because of the color of his skin.
The soviet were there inside of adghanistan country beacuse it was requested by the afghan president ir government to destroy the mujahadin terrorist group, i dont know why the USA interfer or entervin instead of helping russia to kill all terrorist group the american instead HELP THE MUJAHADIN TO SURVIVE.. GOD DAMN IT WAS HORRIBLE OR TERRORIST MOVE BY US GOVERNMENT..
Reagan was a vulgar man, literally, who suffered from dementia throughout his presidency … just like the current resident of the white house, the diapper-wearing Biden. That's the USA's way, one may even call it simply "The Fourth Reich".
America Angel of darkness!!!
America government and capitalists has offered coup, destabilize economy to her neighbor south or Latin America countries, but Russia offered them life and better economy, now I see why they are welcoming China to their countries why snubbing america
One thing that appears to be common to all American heads of state is the endless flurry of lies they tell to the press or in front of the cameras.
Ronald Regan sounded Like Joe Biden.
Ronald Reagan destroyed everything he touched; truly one of the most damaging presidencies in our nation’s history
Commies send dotors&teachers yanks send guns&death squads. With their country's ruined they are on the borders looking for a better life…
Hey people I was in Central America when the war was going down and speaking the truth, I never ever saw any drugs being passed back and forth.
And as far as Marine Corps Lt. Col. Oliver North is concerned, he was the best damned commanding officer I ever had and I would still follow him to hell and back if he ordered it.
15:34 Nicaragua. Samosa got overthrown and up rose the Sandanistas backed by KGB/Russia. 20:36 Meanwhile the Samosa supporters (Contra-rebels) receive assistance from the CIA/America.
Are wars marketing gimmicks of the armaments industry.
