Cold War Edit Meaning

1.

A war of words and nuclear build-up between the USA and its allies (the west) and the Communist world dominated by the USSR and china (the east). Although it never amounted to any full-scale nuclear war, it was a major excuse for military build-ups, nuclear arms races, and massive propaganda from both sides. Was ended by Mikhail Gorbachev, the russian premier from 1985-1991. Gorbachev worked for peace with the west, and slowly brought russian communism to a close. The USSR finally collapsed under Mikhail's successor, Boris Yeltsin.

Period of mostly low-key or culturalbrinkmanship between the United Statesand (most typically) the now-defunct Soviet Union, which formally ended in 1991 and had been going on since 1946 or 1917, depending on who you ask. Occasionally got hot or at least fairly warm in places like Vietnam, Berlin or Korea. Supposedly the fight between democracy and Communism, but nobody hears about such brinkmanship with China these days.

3.

a period of rivalry that included a nuclear arms race between the West and Communist countries—primarily between the US and the former USSR—over global primacy. It began just after WWII and lasted until the fall of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s when the USSR dissolved. It left the USSR bankrupt, and the fall of the communists dissolved the USSR into separate countries now known as the Commonwealth of Independent States. The US then became the soul superpower in the world. During the cold war, the Soviets sent the first person into outer space, but it was the US that landed on the moon. The cold war led to the Red Scare, a fear of Communism in America by which people would build bomb shelters in case the Soviet Union attacked. In the 1960s, the USSR and the US nearly went to war over the Cuban Missle Crisis. In the 1980s President Ronald Reagan called the Soviet Union an “evil empire” and boldly demanded that they tear down the Berlin Wall.

The Cold War was basically of "war of wrods" between the US and the Societs for 5 decades.

It is a drinking game developed in George Town by Nick aka yoshi aka the jew aka yar-yar. It is set up on a standard beer pong table, maybe a little bit wider if you prefer.

Each side starts with 3 pyramids (racks, triangles). Racks can vary in size from 3 cups to 10 cups. Each rack has its own person (only one person drinks from each triangle/rack). Ping-pong balls are used and at least one ball per person. So if you have three racks on each side you need 6 balls.

The 2 sides are the Soviets (Com block) and the Allies (Nato). Each person starts with a ball. The Russians get to fire the first shot. Once the first ball leaves the hand of a Soviet player the Nato players can fire back.

The Rules:

Soviets fire first. Nato can respond. There are no turns like in beer pong/Beirut. If a ball lands in one of your cups you cannot do anything (not throw the ball or collecting the balls) until you finish your beer. (If another ball lands in one of your cups while your drinking, then you must finish that one as well). Once you have a ball you can throw it. Bounces can be knocked away but they do not give you any advantage. You can only collect balls that are on your half of the table/room ect. You cannot cross it (the middle dividing line is the Iron Curtain!!(yet). Once your rack of cups has been drunk you can cross to the other side as a spy, where you can compete for the balls w/ the opposing team and throw them back to your teammates.

Your can use strategies such as hording the balls and making into all of your opponents cups to keep them drinking.

This is a VERY FAST paced game.

Damn, the game of cold war really got me drunk.
