We haven’t even stopped building new kinds of nuclear weapons - or reviving old ones. China recently launched a Fractional Orbital Bombardment System (FOB) with a hypersonic glide vehicle which is a new spin on an old Cold War idea. Edit: which is to say, believing the average person has moved on from Cold War thinking is probably wishful thinking that would be immediately dispelled during near peer conflict. We are in every bit as much danger now as we were then. Edit 2: I can recommend two podcasts for those interested in a bit of low stakes learning. “At the Brink”: a limited series from the William J. Perry Foundation. “Arms Control Wonk Podcast” which covers contemporary nuclear weapons, arms control, etc. in an ongoing manner.
