Strange coincidence movie on AMC ch 43 Red Dawn from 1984. Playing a few times week. So here we go again. The Reagan days ‘81-‘89 evil empire and vice versa days so as to maintained the industrial complex arms race on both sides until USSR went bankrupt first. It was a fake rivalry imo, not a shot fired. So the American and Russian people are starting to be “trained” again? We already see signs re “the war crimes criminal” and Ukraine.
the movie:
In an alternate 1980s, the United States stands alone as communism grows stronger. When Soviet soldiers invade a small Colorado town, brothers Jed (Patrick Swayze) and Matt Eckert (Charlie Sheen) escape with friends to the forest. With their father, Tom (Harry Dean Stanton), a prisoner of the invading army, the children decide to fight against the Soviets. As the country comes under increasing attack, the group teams up with Lt. Col. Andrew Tanner (Powers Boothe) to take back their town.
