In the cold war there was much American and Russian advertisement.

There exist three types of political advertisement:

White advertisement: It calls this way to the advertisement that we know where from it comes. In conclusion it can be published of official form
Gray advertisement: It appears like neutrally, but it transmits false information
Black advertisement: It appears of amicable form, but really it is from the enemy.

Example of American advertisement:

The War of Vietnam (1964-1975) was a warlike conflict that during part of the Cold War faced South Vietnam, supported principally by the United States, against North Vietnam, supported by the communist block.

The war of Vietnam remained marked in history as the first defeat in the military history of the United States and for the high number of dead men.

The USA decided to spray the whole country with the called Orange Agent, a strong chemical product that destroys the nature. With the aim to facilitate the combat in the jungle and to end with the food of the enemies.

This so serious mistake has had serious consequences for the population of vietnam that have serious problems of health and malformations.

Star Wars Project

Posted on November 22, 2011 by alexmennn

The Cold War is known as the historical process of the end of World War II until 1991. The Soviet Union (USSR) was collapsed because of that.

In addition to be known for the differences between capitalism and socialism, it was also known by its enormous technological advances: the weapons.

The USSR space program could realize a dream which United States could not: make the Star Wars. United States tried to put some of their weapons into the space but they could not realize it because it was too expensive and because they didn’t have enough technology.

The USSR developed some new weapons like the Energya rocket, the Buran shuttle or the MIR Stationship.

However the most amazing space weapon was the combat stationship Polyus. Known as Skif-DM. We’re going to write about it.

The USSR sent the second stacion MIR 2 to the space in 1987. The station didn’t reach to the orbit and fell into the sea. The station was armed with nuclear weapons aimed at an electromagnetic pulse (PEM) on the enemy’s space. The PEM disables the enemy’s electronics.

Most of western agencies are still searching for it in the pacific. They want to find the technological.
