Just got to my hotel. I see Trump boomers all over the place. In the restaurants, in the hotel, in the lobby, in the CVS, on the road, at the gas station, at the bar, in the mall, on the street. Everywhere!

Yeah, the Cuban missile crisis era and a decade plus following that was more "the height of the cold war" Stateside than anything in the 80's. At least in terms of what was told to the public.
Although in Germany, that's another thing entirely.
i don't know. the 1980s cold war was pretty scary too. the soviets were dying economically even by their low standards of living and all it would have taken for nuclear war to happen was a handful of generals in siberia start shooting nukes in protest against gorbachev's perestroika and glasnost. it is a miracle and fluke that the backlash against gorbachev by other communists in the govt and military didn't happen until 1991. imagine if hardliner brezhnev/stalin types fired gorbachev in 1989 during the fall of the berlin wall and made sure to keep the soviet system intact at the very least. soviet union could have survived the 1989 disasters in the other warsaw pact countries if the soviet hardliners had moved quickly in late 1989.
