Bullet points are more for me than for them. I try and keep text to a minimum to avoid the "little stenographer" problem

A friend of my dad's was in the Air Force, he said the US and USSR would buzz each other often in the Arctic. How many close calls there?

"we know you're there, watch it" to "fire a warning shot to let 'em know" to "shoot them down if they enter our airspace" are not big steps

The US and Soviets did lots of cat-and-mouse games during Cold War. Planes and subs in particular. Extremely reckless/dangerous.

The elint subs in particular. There's a great book about how they used to tap each other's undersea cables, I think it's 'The Silent War'.
