Ronald Reagan / 罗纳德·里根

Ronald Reagan / 罗纳德·里根 appears in 81.间谍与叛徒：恕我直言，007的故事弱爆了（下） as the [[UnitedStates|U.S.]] president whose hard line toward the Soviet Union became part of the Soviet war-scare environment. The episode links his rhetoric, the Strategic Defense Initiative, and Pershing II missiles to Soviet fear that the West might be preparing or enabling a first strike.

The episode’s Reagan branch is less about U.S. intention than about adversary perception. Through [[OlegGordievsky|Oleg Gordievsky]] and Operation RYAN / 莱恩行动, Britain came to see that Soviet leaders were frightened as well as aggressive, making Cold War Nuclear Misperception / 冷战核误判 a strategic problem.
