  1. Yeah, the cold war was a scary period, inconceivable by people who did not live through it. Thank God it is over. Let's keep it that way. We lived a few miles from a military airbase, and knew that if shit hit the fan, we were going to be toast in minutes.

  2. Relations between Soviets and the West were extremely bad then. You literally could not trust a single word the Soviets uttered. They were literally always either lying outright or just telling what they wanted you to believe. At best, you could try to draw conclusions from what they did not say. That is not an environment conducive to diplomacy.
