I'm not going to go as far as say the cold war was all a lie, or faulty premise.
Certainly there was a risk that Communism was going to grow in influence post WW2, but I would agree or nod through the idea that the threat was 'fluffed up' to make sure the 'people' we on side.
Ironically that is what is missing now, and led us to here. The 'people' are not 'on board' with that premise.
I'm not saying it is right, wrong, irrelevant or anything in between.
I am merely saying the world has changed. The US has pulled back - they are shouting it loud and clear - we all need to listen and think about what that means.
I have no idea where it leads. I do know that before the US took on that role as global policeman, we all had to look out for our own trade routes, and project power.
I don't know what that world looks like if we revert there either.
