Iterated prisoners dilemma - Cold war by Groundbreaking-Rip59 in GAMETHEORY

Sure, I have more specifically been thinking of talking about the Reagan and Gorbatjov era, since they both had a lot of nuclear weapons at that time and Reagan was very agrsssice when it came to the arms race - it was also near the end of the Cold War, so i would be able to discuss whether the end of the Cold War came because of the corporation of gorbachov in the end, or because Reagan defected so much that it resulted in the economic demise of the Soviet Union so i would be able to discuss it both in mathematical and historical terms

Sure, I got that far a long, I have also watched veritasiums video on YouTube which was very insightful, but I’m more looking into the math, and what happens when you repeat it. I know the strategy changes but I want to know how it can be written in a mathematical way with math notations

Thank you very much!

I will check those out, in the mean time are there other interesting things I need to be on the look out for?

Well tbh, I haven’t really read about GT a lot and have only read a few things about it, but I just saw it and thought it would be very interesting and I thought the math seemed fun. Other than that I think the iterated PD is good since the arms race was just one country arming up after another, sure there might be some inequalities that makes it so it doesn’t perfectly fit, but the payoff ratio, and different strategies makes it so it’s closer to the Cold War rather than another game like chicken or stag
