Fox News
Fox Nation's show 'Ronald Reagan's Star Wars' teaches viewers about the tough negotiations the former president went through while working to prevent nuclear war.
"Reagan was willing obviously to sit down with the Soviets, but he was... just as willing to stand up to the Soviets."
When President Reagan came into office, the Soviet Union had tens of thousands of nuclear weapons.
The world powers abided by the doctrine of MAD, or mutually assured destruction, Former White House speechwriter Peter Robinson explained. This meant that "if one side launched a first strike, the other side would have enough nuclear weapons to launch a devastating second strike," killing millions of innocent people.
