Attestations on Cold War Read more: Attestations on Communism. Winston CHURCHILL "From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe. Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia, all these famous cities and the populations around them lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere, and all are subject in one form or another, not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and, in many cases, increasing measure of control from Moscow." John Fitzgerald KENNEDY "There are many people in the world who really don't understand, or say they don't, what is the great issue between the free world and the Communist world. Let them come to Berlin. There are some who say that communism is the wave of the future. Let them come to Berlin. And there are some who say in Europe and elsewhere we can work with the Communists. Let them come to Berlin. And there are even a few who say that it is true that communism is an evil system, but it permits us to make economic progress. Lass' sie nach Berlin kommen. Let them come to Berlin" (Berlin, June 26, 1963). Barry Morris GOLDWATER Ronald REAGAN ''My favorite cartoon of the last few years was one -- right after we really began rebuilding our military -- of two Russian generals. And one of them was saying to the other, ``I liked the arms race better when we were the only ones in it.'' (June 29, 1987) Remarks at a White House Briefing for Administration Supporters "General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" (at the Berlin Wall, Brandenburg Gate, Federal Republic of Germany, June 12, 1987.) Allen DULLES "An iron curtain has descended over the fate of these people and very likely conditions are truly terrible" (December 3, 1945). Non riesco a connettermi |
