Never in my life, or history as I know it, has an American President or Soviet/Russian leader stated anything so provocative.

I heard that live! Mom had the "transistor" radio on in the kitchen, as every day. Everyone new it was a joke, about instantly. Still, WILD! Reagan said some crazy shit but we were used to his jokes by then.

Was going to post a post-assassination joke, but he made quite a few!

LOL the end of that news segment

Most officials said "no comment" though one did speculate the Russian might have been drunk.

This world really is wild.
