Is the US better prepared for a nuclear blast today than it was 60 years ago?

So much of the cold war was to promote CIA activity overseas, and in S America that I think the actual threat of nuclear war is nominal. The drills, the shelters, etc mainly served the financial interests of the bigwigs in the US, also GB. Profits were made at the expense of our comfort and sense of well being. A nuclear detonation would not be profitable, per se, and so would likely not happen.

What I do see as imminent is the same threat of communism, but now coming from an insidious CCP invasion, rather than the nuclear problem that the cold war brought us. Communism under a different wrapper

The Chinese version of Communism is at this point a dog and pony show. They are communists in name only and will overtake the US as an economic and global leader somewhere around mid century. They would have dropped the communist thing a long time ago but they saw what happened to the Soviet Union and dont want to go down 30 years of anarchy which wouldn't be as peaceful as the Soviet breakup. .
