was it more of a secured world during cold war than during the new world order?

Question

i personally felt more secure then than now!

Answer 1

We were definitely more secure, even though the Red Scare hysteria affected many people. First, while we distrusted Russia, we would not have considered a preemptive war. Our leaders were more level-headed, more intelligent, and less ego-driven, power-happy, and less prone to nuclear war.

We even had Krushhev visit us, and managed to be better hosts than we were with the President of Iran. There were no major demonstrations and he was taken to California to meet the Hollywood stars. During a speech, he took off his shoe and pounded it on the podium, threatening the U.S.

In a way, the two Super Powers reminded me of two bulls in a barnyard, huffing and puffing at each other and tossing dirt around.

Personally, when John F. Kennedy confronted the Russians about their planned base in Cuba, I had a moment of panic, but never doubted for a minute that this capable, compassionate young leader wouldn't lead our country to safety!

Answer 2

The Nazis had told the German people that the people of eastern Europe were untermensch, or racially inferior, and that they were saving Germany (and Europe) from the Bolsheviks and the Jews. Germany invaded Russia in 1941, and partly due to the stupidity and paranoia of the Russian dictator Joseph Stalin, the Germans came quite close to taking Moscow and Russia out of what had become a world war. Germany, under Hitler's stupid and paranoid leadership, repeated the very same mistake it had made in the Great War (or the First World War) - fighting a war on two fronts. Once the Germans could no longer beat the Russians, and the tide had turned, the Red Army took back most of eastern Europe by the fall of 1944. Millions had to die in order to achieve this, and once the Red Army smashed down the defenses of Berlin the war was over for the Nazis in April, 1945. Lessons to be learned: 1. The masses should never trust stupid and paranoid dictatators, whether they be National Socialists or Communists. 2. When a nation fights a war on two fronts - defeat is inevitable. 3. Far from saving eastern Europe from Communism, by late 1945 Russia was in the position to dominate this area for a further 50 years. The Nazis had failed by enslaving those they conquered rather than setting them free and rallying them against Stalin's communist dictatorship.

Answer 3

Today, there is a bigger chance of a nuclear exchange between the US and Russia than there was in the 1970's period of the Cold War. Despite this, both the US and Russia are talking about violating arms control agreements, and both sides have sadly and shamefully violated international law repeatedly.

We also have to worry about terrorism today. I don't think that nuclear terrorism was an issue during the Cold War.

I do not believe that there is truly a "good" and "evil", despite the endless propoganda of the US and its enemies. Security is not obtained by paranoia, nor the erosion of personal freedoms in the name of national security. If we keep on eroding our freedom, the question becuase "what freedom?" are we fighting for against, when we go to nations like Afghanistan?

No, the world is not secure today, and I am afraid that it doesn't look good in the future. It will unavoidably get worse before reforms improve things (if ever implemented).

Answer 4

No, it was the Illusion of secure. Mostly because it was the lead-in to where we are now. More to the point, it has been a process under construction for the past 60 to 100 hundred years now. Unfortunately it will get worse before it ever improves. The first thing that must happen in order to improve this situation is that people need to WAKE UP!!!!

Answer 5

There was nothing like a true cold war. This Bilderburg group created the apparent cold war and also ended it as per a plan. After the latest Bilderburg meeting, they decided to give Iran a place in the elite 130 and so they have now agreed to give off their N-weapon blue prints. Like wise they may be the ones funding Al Queda as well as US to goto war on nations hostile to them.

They get instructions from creatures of a moon of Saturn. Who ever is part of this society will be relocated to that moon by 2012, when Saturn take over this world. Jesus will then send men on four horses and angels with horns to fulfill the prophecy.

Answer 6

Six to one, half a dozen to the other. The cold war was a scary time - the world was indeed threatened constantly by nuclear war, especially during the Cuban missile crisis. Now we have even more countries that, in my opinion, present a constant threat to peace.
As an added note, I have yet to see a valid definition for the phrase, New World Order - other than different rantings from the paranoid among us.

Answer 7

The actual threat was much greater then, but the media and the government was not constantly telling you to be afraid, so we just didn't think about it. Now we are supposed to be alert and watch out for terrorist so we feel less secure. People are not very good at the evaluation risks of rare events, so we fear crime more than car accidents, and flying more than driving.

Answer 8

The "New World Order" isn't complete yet.... But things like the SPP, The Law of the Sea Treaty, The North American Union.. are major steps in that direction... Unfortunately the European Union is already nearly complete in it's absorption of its member states.... It doesn't look good for the future.

Answer 9

I think the only time in history that Americans came even close to feeling apprehensive and fearful of both an outside threat and an inside threat of its own government was the McCarthy era.

Honestly I really don't think to many people today are really afraid of an outside threat. We sure travel like we are not worried about a thing. Both inside and outside the USA.

Right now I think the fear we have to worry about is within our own country.

Answer 10

I think it is less secure now than it was in cold war. Even it is called cold war it was a race in arms but now we are facing a real war WW3.
