The Russians threatened the west with nuclear war and the west threatened Russia with nuclear war. People in both camps lived in fear as a result of the constant barrage of Propaganda being put out and the arms industry made an absolute killing so to speak. Needless to say all the posturing, including the so called Cuban missile crisis, came to nothing. However, when the USSR finally collapsed the propaganda war and fear mongering soon turned to the Middle East and Muhammadanism in order to maintain fear and loathing and naturally arms manufacture.
