The Cold War Never Ended

First off I would like to apologize about the first two forfeits, it seems every time I have a debate my computer breaks. So please forgive me on that point. So my opponent seems to think that the cold war was just a nuclear war, when in fact, nukes were involved, however were simply a 'Reason' for the two nations to have at it politically. No nuclear war would've been likely if either the Soviet Union or U.S.A were the clear super power. and since there was no clear super power nuclear war was an option to prove who was boss. And with the fall of the Soviet Union many thought America was the undisputed super power to follow or pay the price. However: Russian never felt that they lost. They felt they were down and were anticipating greatly to get up. Knowing quite a few Russian friends, I can confirm this. And even Vladimir Putin agrees: http://townhall.com...IIn fact, the current crisis in Ukraine just proves Russia is thirsty to have a bigger say in world politics. So the cold war was much more than that.Then my opponent then makes to reside and forget that 'the Cold War' is now a name, no longer stating what state the war is in. That's why when you say 'The cold war' people know you're talking about the USSR vs U.S.A.America was fighting a proxy war in Afghanistan to fight the Russian invaders, and then sent troops to both Vietnam and Korea to stop the spread of communism and Soviet influence. We now know that in Vietnam communism won, Korea is split and Afghanistan is riddled with terrorists (which then help neighbouring nations fall to Jihad as well). In fact, Saddam, the last current leader of Iraq, was put into power because he was US friendly and not Soviet friendly ( http://www.representativepress.org... ). Then, in 1990, he was attacked by the same people who put him there, then in 2001 he was finally removed from power creating a power vacuum that was later filled by ex-American funded terrorists groups. The Cold War still goes on, just different sides (America VS Soviet Union turned into America Vs Russia, N. Korea, China Vs Terrorists like ISIS). And the non-state actors on the war on terrorism could be argued that terrorists were non-state actors in the cold war; after all, they're not a country.The war on terror is far from limited to the middle east: Bombings, 9/11, etc etc can be argued that the war is in EU, America AND the middle east. However the middle east is a lot more active, but it's far from confined.My opponent seems to forget the fact that terrorists are fighting for a Religion and Jihad/Sharia law, which is also a political ideology, meaning what's being fought over (at least for the terrorists) is the spread of Jihad, which is a political ideology, just like how in the Cold war it was Communism Vs Capitalism.Con also seems to forget that the war is over influence, and by invading Crimea and ignoring US, EU and NATO demands to leave Ukraine, Russia is ignoring US hegemony and is proving it's (or trying to prove) stronger than the US. In fact, it's working. Expanded in the paragraph below:Con seems to think they're is no evidence of middle eastern nations favoring Russians. Well: http://www.al-monitor.com...#Egypt sided with Russia since Sisi went into power. He (or she) seems to think that cooping nations has nothing to do with the cold war, well America starting cooping nations DURING the cold war and now still does it. Directly resembling the fact that America has the same attitude as it did during the cold war. That's also why its military spending has gone nothing but up.My point: The cold war looks different, and is now 3 sided (Terrorists, Russia, and USA), however it is still the same cold war.
