Cold War history / culture / anything is possibly my majorest passion, so a CW playlist is my best idea ever. I invite you to peruse it and please make suggestions for new video additions!
I'm definitely looking for cultural items as well as straight politico-military history, although not every movie or TV show from the era will count (eg.: 'Dr. Strangelove' = big yes, but 'Leave It To Beaver' = not so much). Some more modern things with a CW influence are also here. At the same time, my intention is not to have it chockablock with nuclear test explosions (I have another playlist for that -- that and kitties).
Basically all vids should have some linkage with the tension and drama of the 40-year nuclear-armed superpower standoff. I look forward to your ideas!
By Richard Condie, who also did the hilarious "The Cat Came Back," this is an absolute classic and probably one of my favourite animated shorts.

Yeltsin thought a satelitte rocket was a nuke attack and got out the nuclear football and almost nuked us. He never bothered to call Clinton and ask him about it
