Best Answer

During the Cold War the US and the USSR (along with their various allies) did everything possible to overcome each other, short of actual war. It was a peculiar state of almost war. Actual war was greatly feared, since it would have resulted in the destruction of the entire human race, by means of nuclear weapons.
