Super interesting. There are as many facets to the Cold War as there are leaves on a tree, most of which are completely misunderstood. The idea of nuclear weaponry was certainly relevant, but it also served as a “can’t see the forest for the trees” point in history. As consumed as we were about this superpower standoff, the reality is that the US and Russia were merely the agents in a narrative with much simpler, concise, and subhuman objectives. This story about Sidney Gottlieb underscores that. This was a point in history that tested the limits of human power, the permissibility of which is still being experimented with to this day. Many moral and philosophical boundaries began to be ripped apart during this time and haven’t been restored since.
