Here now another famous presidential statement on the subject of UFOs.
this time to talk about is the U.S. President Ronald Reagan in a speech to the UN.
summary Reagan admits that sometimes stops to think, that if there were an alien threat the differences between the U.S. and the Soviet Union would collapse in an instant, and the world would be united in front of the common enemy. Agggiunge Finally, if the alien menace and were already present among us?
Usually in this case the video on youtube stop to show another "confirmation" Journal of the existence of extraterrestrial activity on the planet. Once again, however, those who put these videos on the net continues to report incomplete statements to support his thesis. For alien threat "have amongst us" In fact, Reagan intended the threat of war, the possibility of destroying the world with a war nuclear power. He, in fact, compares the alien threat of war between the U.S. and USSR. As you can see from this video:
Now, at first glance one might ask: what the hell I guess the comparison with an alien threat of war and the atomic bombs? This speech can be understood only after realizing the first part of the declaration. In the first part actually
Reagan clearly mentions his idea for this his hypothetical scenario: an alien threat and the world together to fight it.
For those who study international relations, the academic discipline that studies the relationships between states, the declaration of Reagan, however, is anything but focus on aliens.
the historical level, in fact, we will remember how the world is the United States during World War II to destroy the Nazi enemy. It is a thing well known: in the presence of a common enemy political differences disappear. This led to the great alliance between the U.S., USSR and Europe. Dropped this common enemy, the divisions have emerged. Reagan wants to understand why in the first part of this speech in the presence of a common enemy, the United States and the Soviet Union, would return to work.
Why this common enemy is identified as an alien?
The answer must be connected to the concept of superpower. In political discourse, academic and the historical fact of the Cold War began to talk of "superpower", not more than just "power."
at the core of the concept of a superpower, which distinguishes it clearly from that of "power", that is NOT a superpower is more antagonistic, if not the other superpower. Simply stated, even if all the states of the world, except the other superpower, it allessero against it, this would not be enough.
What does this mean? It means that a common enemy, is not identifiable within a bipolar system of international relations based on two superpowers. This suggests that the only possible common enemy can come from space. We therefore suggest
the above in mind: a common enemy, a common threat, can lead to two states cooperate, at worst not to get between them. And the goal of Reagan is this: do not reach the United States and the Soviet Union in war.
Why, then, speaks of "alien threat" which is already formulating the possible war?
The term alien threat thus takes the meaning of a common enemy that can unite the two contenders. The common enemy is identified by Reagan ... In the same threat of a war! In fact, a devastating nuclear war is the Soviet Union that the United States. The real threat is common to that time, was therefore the possibility of nuclear war. Looking history, this hypothetical war was clearly set up as a threat. In fact, the United States and Soviet Union never made it to war with one another just because both are aware that such a war would sweep away the respective states (and beyond). That 's what is called by scholars as the "Balance of Terror". And indeed it worked ...
