In a hundred years Waiting for Godot will be classic theater, you dunce. Im honestly baffled by conservatives in art. It’s as if they never payed attention to history class and realized all their complaints were made at the art they enjoy back in their time, what they now call classics. If you really think the world will forget Waiting for Godot, you’re naive.

Cold war was a meme, nothing of substance happened. You need to have at least had one nuke dropped for it to count as a legitimate problem. And no, that's not a world ending scenario necessarily, per Japan being nuked and the world not ending. And that was with cities literally made out of paper.

None of shit is A C T U A L warfare. There was never a declaration of war made by either of the opposing state actors. You've been brainwashed by your boomer parents into believing in a meme war that they use to validate their generation-wide political idiocy. Sorry.
