cold war

Translation
cold war
A period of hostile relations between rivals where direct open warfare between them is largely undesired and avoided.

James Burnhams theory has been much discussed, but few people have yet considered its ideological implications—that is, the kind of world-view, the kind of beliefs, and the social structure that would probably prevail in a state which was at once unconquerable and in a permanent state of “cold war” with its neighbours.
