Just the opposite. The cold war wasn't a war at all. It was a military stand-off; meaning two opponents staring at each other...each one waiting for the other one to make the first move. Total war was like WWII...atomic bombs. Limited wars like Korea and Vietnam were limited to conventional weapons only...no atom bombs.
It was a war or propaganda and secrets. It was not a direct confrontation. The closest it got to war was the Cuban Missile Crisis.
United States president John F. Kennedy described the cold war as "a hard and bitter". He made this statement during his Inaugural address.
A limited war used in the context of the cold war meant LIMITED to conventional weapons only. To do otherwise meant total war, verses limited war. Total war would include the use of nuclear weapons. Such as WW2 (the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki). The Korean War (1950-1953) and the Vietnam War (1961-1975) were the first and only limited wars fought during the cold war. Cold War meaning between the communists and free world.

The reverse (opposite) of cold war was total war (nuclear war). Youth lived life as if there was no tomorrow; as total war (nuclear war) is (or can be) "mutually assured destruction."
