Are We In A New Era Of The Cold War?

Take the red pill.

Take a step off the ledge my friend.
And no.

I was like 4 when the cold war ended, but I'm pretty sure it was much worse when school children were doing drills to prepare for a nuclear holocaust.

This is no where near the cold war

Obviously, I'm not trying to compare what went on from 1945-80's. I'm just asking if we have now gotten ourselves into a different era of it.

Every waking second was a threat to world peace during the Cold War. Both sides were sure that the other would launch a surprise nuclear attack and both were ready to retaliate at a moment's notice. Just think about the Cuban Missile Crisis and how close nuclear war was.

What's going on nowadays is patty cake compared to that. This is fairly subdued stuff in terms of warfare.

Yep. Schools also showed us anti Soviet propaganda films

this may not be that, but this ain't good. US/Russian relations are at a real low point right now.

It's a dog and pony show to rile up the masses.

I hated to have to climb under a wooden desk to "Feel safe".

I always found those old black and white films to be laughably ridiculous. Your first period desk chair is going to protect you from the white heat comparable to the surface of the sun.
