Since the 50s they were really pushing it hard. While true, it also made for great propaganda. By the mid to late 80s things had cooled down and eventually by the fall of the USSR and having a more western friendly leader in Russia, things were much less scary on all sides. Nobody wanted to live under that scare for decades. So that was nice. But then decades went by and everyone who forgot about how terrible that was, and then Putin came into power, and slowly became more crazy. And now we have Trump II. And suddenly it’s fashionable to be unfriendly to your global neighbors. I’d say it might be even scarier now with nut jobs like Trump and Putin willing to press the button. What does Trump and his Golden Dome suggest he is thinking about? Scary stuff.
