"Mr. Khrushchev said we will bury you." Khruschev did say that and President John F. Kennedy asked him if that was a threat and he responded that it was not said to be taken literly and that he had ment to say that communism will burry capitalism. "How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy." Oppenheimer was a german scientist who helped develop the atomic bomb. " There is no monopoly of common sense." There is no monopoly for common sense meaning that there is no buisness for the right choice no one dominates that and if anyone was foolish enough to fire a bomb it would kill everyone not just the enemy hence "I hope the Russians love their children too." " We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology." Means we are all people too even if we may not think it Soviets and Americans were both humans striveing for very diffrent goals. " There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the president." That means there is nothing the president has to say when faced with a tough decision, it is his choice. "There's no such thing as a winnable war It's a lie we don't believe anymore." Means that noone can win with nuclear tecnology only everyone can die. " Mr. Reagan says we will protect you." Meaning he doesn't beleive that the president is capeable of protecting America. Rate + if you found this helpful.

I agree with your interpretation but there is another twist with this line. In the 80s Reagan tried to build a missile defence called SDI (Strategic Defence Initiative). The purpose was to eliminate incoming nuclear missiles, which had given the USA a decisive advantage. In addition some militarists talked about the possibility of winning a nuclear war, SDI was one important piece in that strategy.

I think the line " Mr. Reagan says we will protect you." has kind of same purpose as the one above, i.e. SDI doesn´t work, you can´t protect people from nuclear missiles and yout cannot win a nuclear war.
