There seems to be a slowly rising tide of Cold War nostalgia. Not the 80s. nostalgia, but the nostalgia for the conflict itself. Its romanticised pop-culture version is a) heroic, and b) very symmetrical. Kinda like old Bond movies.

I don't play this particular card very often, but in this case - it does feel very colonial.

While you were enjoying your Bond moves, we were trying to get Russians to go away, while bartering cigarettes for flour. There's nothing to be nostalgic about.
