Is It Just Me Or Does The Corbomite Manouver (1966) Episode Contain That Underlying Fear And Message

Is it just me or does the Corbomite Manouver (1966) episode contain that underlying fear and message of the Cold War? Considering it was produced at the time when tensions nearly peaked and spilled over in 1962. I watched it last night and it reminded me of the exchange of bluff between the two superpowers from 1949 onwards. 'Poker' is essentially the tactic used in the Cold War too

Just like this ep, The Doomsday Machine places more emphasis on MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) and the potential for a weapon deadly enough to destroy a planet.
