It’s the Day of German Unity, marking the 1990 reunification of East and West Germany. In our current period of global instability, do you ever feel nostalgic for the seeming simplicity of the Cold War?
Simplicity? Uhmm, yeah okay. It was a horribly bad time for everyone, scared that everyone was gonna get the shit blown out of them every day. Sirens and bomb shelters and scared of nuclear fallout? That is not something I want to live with, EVER.
