During the Cold War, the US and the USSR engaged in a complex global struggle for domination, but they never attacked each other directly, through bombing or invasion. Instead they fought wars in other countries such as Korea and Vietnam. It was a war with limits. That was because both sides knew that in an unlimited war, nuclear weapons would be used and everyone would lose.
