        The Vulcan Bridge is my all time favourite Cold War story. Capitalist government turning your town infrastructure need into an internal border conflict, making you call multiple government offices, watch them fight, and you still don’t have a new bridge? Ask the communists, very publicly, if they will build you a bridge as Foreign Aid, and shame your federal government into building the bridge, just to keep “US can’t afford basic infrastructure” out of a Soviet newspaper!
