Re: The New Cold War Paradigm

The Cold War was fought to a standoff, and very little blood was shed in direct conflict between Soviet forces and American forces. The threat of nuclear annihilation restrained both sides, and in the end the stalemate provided time for the Soviet Union to collapse from within due to its malaise and growing awareness of its inherent flaws.

Can a history expert chime in here. I believe that much of the cold war revolved around the fear of communism. We went to Korea and Vietnam in the name of democracy where tens of thousands of people died. So the comment "with little bloodshed" seems to be inheritable wrong. And the collapse was strongly aided by US influence.
Thoughts would be appreciated.

I assume he mean 'very little bloodshed for white people' or such.
Yes I'm being offensive and biased.
