Perhaps. But during the Cold War nuclear war was the existential threat. While both are "live or die" issues intellectually, emotionally they are much the same.

Hmm, having been young at the time it really isn't the same. We are all collectively fiddling while Rome is burning and have been for some time. Quite different than the cold war.

Not everyone is fiddling. But just like the Cold War, the people in power are not the ones sounding the alarm. And like the Cold War people sounding the alarm are up against a force comprised largely of greed and ignorance, and by all appearance deaf to their protests.

The people in power during the Cold War mostly came to accept its grim premise: Mutually-assured destruction. They believed that MAD was the way to keep America safe. Our defense and diplomatic policy flowed from that premise.
