That is literally what my father and his friends dealt with as young men after dealing with the Cuban Missile Crisis as children. I only dealt with this one time in 1st grade. Air raid drill, get under the desk kids and cover your head to practice in the event the Russians drop a megaton h-bomb on the school. Or the stability of WW1 or WW2? 1990 to 2020 was a wonderful time, I feel so lucky to have lived my life then but that was a completely abnormally calm time in history.
