If you are 60 or older, you no doubt recall being worried, or knowing your parents were worried, about nuclear war.
During the Cold War, it was thought that the superpowers might soften each other up with nuclear strikes, leaving their populations in such disarray and misery that a secondary adversary might consider moving in on us.
However, the general reasoning (as I recall) was that the U.S. would have to be reduced to such a radioactive hellhole that nobody would want to go near it for many years.
Not that that was much comfort!
I am 54 but I remember when I was young hearing worries about nuclear war. I vaguely recall a movie about nuclear war, can't remember what it was.
