I have a question. If you believe the comments are all full of incorrect assertions and rubes then why are you in them so much? I'll bet you your pride that you can't be the person who walks away first. Because it really matters to you.

Says the guy being downvoted on every reply to his own post. Maybe everyone else is wrong and you’re right.

That’s not the definition of a Cold War.
And that’s not what brinksmanship is. And that’s not what the song is about. I’m sorry it makes you upset that we don’t agree.

I don’t agree that the song has to do with brinksmanship per se, strictly the impact of nuclear war. I don’t agree a new Cold War has started. Few do. I understand the title and your premise, I don’t agree with them.
As to the rest of the content of your message I genuinely have no idea what you’re on about.

This is what happens when we let 25 year olds with zero historical perspective write articles. The song was released in 86 which means it was likely written in 85 which was the height of the Cold War. The song reflects the very relevant anxiety of nuclear war something that was never more of a possibility than it was then. We’re not even close to the same place. Not by miles.
