3. Response # 1
The USA and USSR never fought between each other because of M.A.D. They fought with proxy war and gave each countries money and weapons to fight the war for them this ended in USSR government to fall apart.

4. Response # 2
it was ideological because it was fought over the ideas of communism and capitalism. the way it played out is a lot of proxy wars because the US and USSR were too scared of M.A.D to fight each other. so then the two big powers of the world having other countries fight other

5. Response # 3
The cold war was an ideological conflict because it was a conflict of ideas, meaning the US thought that capitalism is the best form of government and wanted it to be the main form of government where as the USSR wanted communism to be the main form of government leading to a conflict of ideas (ideological conflict). The only problem was that we couldn't attack them directly because of M.A.D, meaning Mutually Assured Destruction. Meaning that if we attacked them, they would launch their nuclear missiles to kill us then we would launch our nuclear missiles to kill them, ending up where neither side wins and everyone dies. The only way to fight without the fear of M.A.D was to fight using allies of either side to attack each other also known as a proxy war. This conflict between ideals didn't end well for the USSR because they ended up crumbling because their people didn't like that form of government and that government was frustrated from always losing resources.

When I refuse to da a thing that is repugnant to my conscience I use Satyagraha… If by using violence I force the Government to repeal a law, I am employing what may be termed as body-force. If I do not obey the law and accept the penalty for its breach, I use soul force. It involves a sacrifice of self.”
