Nope. It was not ridiculous. It was a conflict of ideologies on "how will the world work?" You may think it ridiculous in hindsight, but those who were working the problems of the time, both in Moscow and in the West, were deadly earnest about their method prevailing on a global scale.You can't deny that the cold war pretty much was a "Look how strong and uncompromisingly we are"-game, wasn't it? Just think about the "communism-paranoia" in the fifties and sixties, that was pretty much ridicolous from todays point of view, wasn't it?
Nope, it's a different kind of conflict. If you want to say that Bush Team rhetoric is ridiculous, with "Axis of Evil" and "Dead Enders" and some other nonsense, no argument from me.Today it's identical ridicolous. The difference is that the "New Enemy" and "Evildoers" are Jihadists now.
I grew up in it, and I lived in it, and thanks, I don't need your distilled scheiss to tell me how the East West propaganda war went on, Oliver.You really buy that? Watch the US-Commie-Propaganda and rethink your answer.
Nope. Where you constructed that fairy tale I am not sure, but it sounds as though you are cutting and pasting Dylan Avery quotes again.Americans still believe every BS the Government tells, don't they?
I suggest you buy a black T-Shirt and join his movement, as he also makes bogus claims of a simplistic, stereotypical and over generalized nature.
Fine for trying to impress 17 year old novices, not worth spit when speaking to people with some depth.
