Expert of Eastern European and Russian affairs and Director of the Wilson Center's Kennan Institute Dr. Michael Kimmage joins WIRED to answer the internet's questions about the "Cold War" contested by The Soviet Union and United States. Why was it named "the Cold War?" Was the threat of communism overblown by the United States? What is a proxy war? Why did the United States and USSR make so many nuclear warheads? Did the Soviets have technologies that surpassed those of NATO? Are we in a new Cold War today? Answers to these questions and many more await on Cold War Support.
