ABSTRACT
The future of the Cold War is in the hands of the countries that are fighting it. Who are they? First and foremost, obviously, the United States and the Soviet Union. But in addition there are the member states of NATO and the Warsaw Pact, and behind them the special friends of the two superpowers: Israel, South Korea, etc., for the United States, and Cuba, Vietnam, etc., for the Soviet Union. The multiplicity of warriors, enjoying a wide variety of sovereignty and independence, complicates the field whose future we have to consider.
