On June 12, 1987, former President Ronald Reagan gave one of his famous speeches, “Remarks at the Brandenburg Gate.” On a superficial level, Reagan uses the speech to petition to the Soviet Union for peace, nuclear and chemical arms reduction, and the demolition of the Berlin Wall. He also highlights the progress and prosperity that have arisen in the western world since the division between communism and democracy was established. Beyond the surface, Reagan subtly disparages communism while simultaneously building up democracy. He emphasizes the importance of freedom, liberty, free trade, and other democratic ideals and the positive effects the western world has experienced because of them. Above all else, Reagan uses the speech to inspire
Another way Reagan uses emotional appeals in his speech at the Brandenburg Gate is through the reoccurring theme of good versus evil.

However, unlike his speech to the National Association of Evangelicals in 1983, President Reagan does not come out and blatantly say that the Soviet Union is an “evil empire”.

The significance of Churchill's questions are still effective today because it influenced the thoughts of the American politicians on their stance on the war. After the American government decided to get involved in WWII, new wars appeared for the US join such as the Cold War against Russia, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Therefore, the original questions Churchill once asked in 1941 contains influences on the events and questions the politicians in the America we live in

The President of the United States of America and the Prime Minister, Mr. Churchill, representing His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom, being met together, deem it right to make known certain common principles in the national policies of their respective countries on which they base their hopes for a better future for the world.

However, Churchill was very suspicious of Stalin, and believed a powerful Russia could be just as big a threat as a powerful Germany. Churchill wanted to shake hands with the Russians as far to the east. as possible to stop them gaining more land. This was exactly the opposite of Stalin's plans. He aimed to create a buffer zone.
In this source, President Truman of the US declares his view of what the US should represent and defend in the world. He strongly opposes regimes instituted by minorities that compulsorily enforce their political systems on majorities with the use of censorship, instilling fear, tyranny, infringing upon Freedom of Expression and predetermining the outcomes of elections. He also passionately advocates for freedom, therefore he declares it to be the United States’ obligation to safeguard the free peoples of the world’s freedoms.

He illustrates this point through the example of Greece, wherein at the time, they faced a Communist takeover that would have a ripple effect on Turkey.
