I think that the Cold War was an exceptional and unnecessary piece of cruelty.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The only thing that kept the Cold War cold was the mutual deterrence afforded by nuclear weapons.
The Cold War was wildly expensive and consumed the entire globe.
The Cold War went on for so long that it bred a kind of worldwide military establishment. Even when budgets went down in the early and mid-nineties, it didn't really affect it.
The Cold War in Africa is one of the darkest, most disgraceful pages in contemporary history, and everybody ought to be ashamed.
