The Cold War was a very useful tool to elites who wanted to centralize federal authority over American's lives. Create a foreign enemy that everyone has to unite against to defeat. (not that Russia wasn't a valid enemy then) I think are trying to do the same thing now with the continuous funding to Ukraine. Put Russia on the defensive so they ready their nukes, we ready ours, and let the good times roll again.
The Internet makes the propaganda harder but it works among normies who watch TV and don't connect the dots.
