I remember growing up in the cold war. I remember praying that I'd get enough warning in the event of a nuclear war to find shelter, and be able to survive the inevitable fallout. Surviving beyond that seemed to be guaranteed if I could just survive the bombs dropping.
I never thought, once the cold war was over, that I would have to reconsider those plans, that I would have to worry that the USA and North Korea would target each other. I am still (mostly) safe in Australia
