The Cold War was a state of political and military tension after World War II between powers in the Western Bloc (the United States, its NATO allies and others) and powers in the Eastern Bloc (the Soviet Union and its allies in the Warsaw Pact).
Historians do not fully agree on the dates, but 1947–91 is common. The term "cold" is used because there was no large-scale fighting directly between the two sides, although there were major regional wars, known as proxy wars, supported by the two sides. The Cold War split the temporary wartime alliance against Nazi Germany, leaving the USSR and the US as two superpowers with profound economic and political differences: the former being a single-party Marxist–Leninist state operating a planned economy and controlled press and owning exclusively the right to establish and govern communities, and the latter being a capitalist state with generally free elections and press, which also granted freedom of expression and freedom of association to its citizens. A self-proclaimed neutral bloc arose with the Non-Aligned Movement founded by Egypt, India, Indonesia and Yugoslavia; this faction rejected association with either the US-led West or the Soviet-led East. The two superpowers never engaged directly in full-scale armed combat, but they were heavily armed in preparation for a possible all-out nuclear world war. Each side had a nuclear deterrent that deterred an attack by the other side, on the basis that such an attack would lead to total destruction of the attacker: the doctrine of mutually assured destruction (MAD). Aside from the development of the two sides' nuclear arsenals, and deployment of conventional military forces, the struggle for dominance was expressed via proxy wars around the globe, psychological warfare, massive propaganda campaigns and espionage, rivalry at sports events, and technological competitions such as the Space Race.
How cold
When I woke up this morning
it was very cold.
How cold was it?
It was a freezing, sneezing
goose-bumpy, teeth-chattering,
can't-get-out-of-bed,
blankets-over-my-head
kind of cold
Cold refers to the condition or subjective perception of having low temperature, the absence of heat.
A lower bound to temperature is absolute zero, defined as 0 K on the Kelvin scale, an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale. This corresponds to −273.15 °C on the Celsius scale, −459.67 °F on the Fahrenheit scale, and 0 °R on the Rankine scale.
Since temperature relates to the thermal energy held by an object or a sample of matter, which is the kinetic energy of the random motion of the particle constituents of matter, an object will have less thermal energy when it is colder and more when it is hotter. If it were possible to cool a system to absolute zero, all motion of the particles in a sample of matter would cease and they would be at complete rest in this classical sense. The object would be described as having zero thermal energy. Microscopically in the description of quantum mechanics, however, matter still has zero-point energy even at absolute zero, because of the uncertainty principle.

“Cold War Warriors” is the story of countless nuclear weapons workers at Sandia Corporation who worked in all aspects of Sandia’s above-ground, atmospheric and underground nuclear weapons field test operations from the dawn of the atomic age in 1945 to the cessation of testing in 1992. This historical documentary includes interviews with such notable figures as Glenn Fowler, Jack Howard, Wendell Weart, Leon Smith, Howard Austin, and Ben Benjamin.

This is a campaign flown in the S-25 Frogfoot, an aircraft included with the DCS: World Flaming Cliffs 3 module. It includes a complete fly-through of each mission with detailed commentary provided throughout. A program called Tacview is used to display an overview of what is going on in the mission.

one, two, three, four,
one, two, three, four
Silently spoken, days of our lives
Rooms that are broken inside
I need your violence
Songs in the air
Call me 'til I don't care
You're a sight for sore eyes
Colwater High, remember me
I'm the one who'll always be around
To pick up your lies
Colwater High, remember me
I will be your slave forever
Millions of daydreams, lost in your hair
You call me but I'm never there
Crowded arenas, screaming for you
But there's only one dream
You're a sight for sore eyes
Colwater High, remember me
I'm the one who'll always be around
To pick up your lies
Colwater High, remember me
I will be your slave forever
Until the day my heart breaks down
'til the roof is caving in
And my ego hits the ground
And you're my ologist(?)
You're a sight for sore eyes
Colwater High, remember me
I'm the one who'll always be around
To pick up your lies
Colwater High, remember me
I will be your slave forever
You're a sight for sore eyes
Colwater High, remember me
I'm the one who'll always be around
To pick up your lies
Colwater High, remember me
