You certainly brought back some lost memories. I thought we were afraid of the USSR though. later on in life I came to the conclusion that it was a false and misleading, or fake rivalry, scare tactics on both sides, to justify defense spending profits on both sides. US and USSR.
All those tax dollars on both sides, wasted, pissed away and not a shot fired until the USSR went bankrupt first instead of us with all that spending. I figured China would be the next false flag enemy to justify spending tax dollars. That time might come with some feeble excuse.
