Ironically, the world was far safer from Nuclear War back in the 1980s than we are now.
Neither Russia or the USA was ever going to push the button. The threat of mutually assured destruction kept us safe. Now, we have so many different and unstable players in the game. We also have the threat of lab-created diseases that are far more easy to obtain and use. I feel like the world is in a far more dangerous place now than I did as a teenager in the early 80s.
