That is absolutely correct and that was the whole point of it. There was Small wars (called brush fire wars) back then, General War and Special War(nick named the Cold War). Because of Nukes we had to find something different besides all out war and it was not just a small war (guerrilla war) but something between those extremes.
It is certainly much more then a mere competition. As I said competition is for sports......dosen't work when whole industries can be wiped out and millions loose there livelihoods and destroy there entire way of life. To say that it is just a competition is to show how well psychological ops work at confusing the moral basis of human decision making.
The modern version of this is China's rare earth policy. A combo economic/war strategy/political policy. They snatch up all the critical materials for war production and call it peace. Forget CvC he is old school.
