    To be fair the Cold War’s nuclear Armageddon threat has never really ended. As long as nukes exists there is still going to be such a fear. But on the flip side it has really helped maintain peace through the threat of nuclear Armageddon.
    Here is a weird fact: both the US and USSR thought about how to use nukes for peaceful applications. The us thought about using nukes to dig out canals and a port in Alaska. The USSR used a nuke to dig a massive lake and put out a oil fire.
