Reagan viewed the USSR as perhaps the opposite of the values he endorsed and he was particularly critical of the existence and need for the Berlin Wall. He would see that as the opposite to his emphasis on the need for freedom.

∙ 11y agoAt that time, the United States and the Soviet Union (USSR, today better known as Russia) were enemies, part of what was called the "Cold War." The United States government believed the Soviets were the aggressors in many of the world's problems and throughout the 1950s through much of the 1980s, there was little trust between the two nations. President Reagan was strongly anti-Communist, and he believed the Soviets wanted to spread Communist ideology everywhere, so for him, the USSR was in fact an "Evil Empire" that needed to be defeated or eliminated or contained in some way.
