Best Answer

Acts of aggression were subtle, not overt. Instead of direct military attacks countries sought to undermine each other through various means. The US supplied weapons to the Taliban during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, for example. The communists supported Fidel Castro. There was only rarely any direct military action, such as when the Soviets shot down a passenger plane, or captured one of our U2 flights.
