"46 years of ZERO military action (1949 - 1992)"
Yes exactly ! And what happened from 1989 to 1991 ?
The stalinist regimes of the eastern block collapsed and the dissolution of the USSR occurred.
The US conducted plenty of coups, assassinations and wars during the cold war but they always had to consider and calculate the response of the 'Soviet block".
It was like a handbrake on Imperialism, a certain "stability' existed during the cold war.
But once all that broke up, imperialism was unleashed. The neo-cons proclaimed the uni polar world, it was the end of history and the US would reign as supreme ruler of a peaceful prosperous world .
But capitalism and Imperialism don't work like that.
The WSWS had a different view. That imperialism would embark on a new period of colonialism, new wars and would have to re conquer Russia and China, resulting in a new World War.
And that view has proven correct, as 30 years of unending US/NATO wars have shown.
