Such vandalism and for what?
- jonsen 8y agoCold war. Better than hot war.
- paulie_a 8y agoIt wasn't exactly a cold war.
- mrkstu 8y agoIt was. We are very lucky there was never a direct confrontation between the different sides at the height of their strength. If the USSR and China had been able to create a common cause and gone fully aggressive in the 70s, there would've been a good chance of either a nuclear war or WWIII sweeping the world. That is a hot war.
- paulie_a 8y agoExcept for all those pesky wars, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan
- Majestic121 8y agoVietnam was 1.5 millions casualties, give or take, civilians included. WW2 was 60 million. It's not about disparaging the importance of Vietnam and all, but the war could have been way hotter than what is was.
- jacquesm 8y agoTell that to the Vietnamese and the Koreans.
- dsfyu404ed 8y agoIt was the middle of winter in the arctic compared to any shooting engagement between the Warsaw Pact nations and NATO. Proxy wars every decade are basically world peace compared to any realistic scenario as to how a shooting war between the major powers would have played out.
- Florin_Andrei 8y ago> It wasn't exactly a cold war. Nah, it was oxygen-frozen-solid most of the time. Once it got a bit tepid near Cuba, but that was about it; good thing it didn't boil over.
