A really good movie that had the misfortune of being released at the same time as Dr Strangelove.

Those did later transition fairly easily into things like tornado drills.

As if hiding under your school desk with your hands over your head would help you.

Agreed. But we also had to see these in the hallway every day.

I can just imagine a few weeks into the war there will be a news headline "ICBM missile headed toward X city, please evacuate"

Do you think these ICBM's will be coming at us on a boat? Evacuate? A few weeks into a nuclear war there won't be any news headlines friend, just ashes.

I noticed you chose your words carefully. a hostile military alliance did not expand to the Russian border. The soviet union collapsed . Each country then developed their own leadership and alliance.

by the way referencing your example we had a hostile military alliance 90 miles off our border which was and still some would argue still is a hostile Cuba which aligned with the soviets.

I learned to duck & cover under old solid wooden and iron desks , not like those plastic desks in the video clip.
The bank a few minutes run away was the nearest fall out shelter , the other way lead to a Naval Base.

Until the USSR fell apart and they stopped giving Cuba money.
