In episode 20 of the 5 Minute Warfare podcast, we delve into the intense and complex era of the Cold War, a geopolitical struggle defined by proxy wars and the constant threat of nuclear annihilation. In just five minutes, we explore how the United States and the Soviet Union clashed ideologically and militarily across the globe, supporting opposing sides in conflicts like Korea, Vietnam, and beyond.
