You really cannot use the term "cold war" to describe any "war without direct military conflict" because then all peaceful times thru out history could be called "cold wars." This particular cold war (1945-1990) was strictly between the nuclear armed communist nations and the free world, led by the US.
Cold War means a military stand-off. If there is no war war between two countries, and then they fight, then it is a regular war (which may have to be called a hot war, since everyone is now familiar with the term cold war).
