JP I am older than you, and if I was a male I probably would have been conscripted re Vietnam!
I was alive, just, when the Berlin Airlift occurred. As for the 'squashing' of the 'freedom fighters' in Hungary (as they were then called) quite a few came to Australia. Quite a few become well-known to the police as well. Hmmm! the Warsaw Pact aggression. lt is MY history, JP.
I was never as paranoid about the USSR using nuclear weapons or 'aggression' as you seem to be. Mainly because my memory remembers Guatemala, Korea, Malaya, etc and if you look it up,but not on wiki something more reputable, you will see that the aggressor was not the USSR.
I took history as an elective, JP. Fortunately, it wasn't just the 'official story' but an actual analysis of the Cold War. Believe me, the high moral ground cannot be claimed by the US!
