surana · Answer

Proxy wars, various "I shall nuke you if you try nuking me", hippies, hawks and doves, and roughly five conflicts.

surana · Answer

Although I'm kinda leaning toward the third one.

photon336 · Answer

a lot of proxy wars, for sure & wars in general. U.S. giving supplies to one side, soviets backing another government. etc etc.

surana · Answer

Very tense time, that was.

photon336 · Answer

yeah, I want to go with mutually assured destruction too because both sides built up nukes/weapons.

surana · Answer

I'd go with the third one. Just my point of view.

photon336 · Answer

the wars were the result of the policy not the other way around. well in my opinion. I think I agree with you @Surana
