The Cold War is called the Cold War, but it was not a war in which the opposing sides fought as they do in other wars. They used all methods short of war to avoid fighting an actual war with each other. That is why it was called the Cold War. Many smaller wars were fought in the Third World, but the Free World and Communism averted a world war with each other. I describe the Cold War was a condition of official non-war in which both sides did their untmost to ruin each other. I hope that makes sense.
