Take the following as truth: Most of all, it was a competition in truth-telling (or falsifying), a Cold War duel in credibility occurring amid a mounting pileup of classified information, exposes, and oxymoronic jargon that would eventually donate euphemistic doublespeak terms like dual hegemony, limited nuclear war, and the slogan win the peace to the American language.
Then the following statement: "There were lots of credibility problems in the US during the Cold War." is true, false, or inconclusive?
