Cold War Terms 9.5 US Russia Act React Relationship: Think of the US and Russia responding to each other whenever an opportunity presents itself.
Think about the US and Russia act react relationship like the potential starting point of a snowball rolling down the hill. The only difference is at the end of the hill we all die.
Indirect/Direct Fighting Direct Fighting: Fighting between the US and Russia. Never happens during the Cold War because of MAD. Direct fighting had to be avoided at any cost. Indirect Fighting: Fighting between the US and Russia that takes place in any other nation. Usually that nation is experiencing a revolt, civil war or some other event. In indirect fighting the US and Russia pick a side to support but never fight each other directly.
