The Cold War
Why do they say it ended? Maybe the scare is less than it was during the time period they place the Cold War in, but it is still there. The United States still worries about communist governments in Russia, China, South America, and Middle East. Every so often the media reports on countries that are suspected to have nuclear weapons shipped to them from Russia and China. The powers still try to influence Middle Eastern countries so that they can trade oil with them. And, an instance that doesn't involve the Middle East: the recent conflict between Russia and Georgia, which had quite recently received military training from the US before the instance.
