After the Communists gained nuclear weapons, it became clear to the two nations that they could not go into direct combat with the each other without engaging in a potential nuclear war. That is what made this conflict the cold war. Both the US and the Soviet Union could only try to gain the upper hand on the other nation socially and politically because if the two nations were to engage in combat than the loses of each country would be to great to overcome in the future.
