Where to Begin?

Hello There!

There will be more said in the very near future, but let's see if I can summarize for you what this blog is about...

In the waning days of World War II, the Allied Powers worked together to crush the Axis threat, and in the process of doing so also looked ahead to the future to rebuild the world from a massive destabilization.

Of course, rebuilding often took the form of the individual Allied nations carving out their own spheres of influence in the defeated regions. What could have been more natural?

What also came naturally was the conflicting needs and desires of the holders of the new spheres, and that became polarized in very short order into the West versus the East. An 'Iron Curtain' descended over the sphere of the East, and a new kind of war began.

The Cold War

This was a war of spy-vs-spy, open diplomacy, propaganda on an international scale, influence peddling, and of course, when the situation on the ground demanded a hot war, proxy states cultivated by either side. The Cold War existed more or less in the estimate of common historical knowledge until about New Year's Eve 1991.

What is becoming more and more apparent to people worldwide is that the ending of the CW was an orchestrated affair, and the West is indeed STILL at war with the East.

The Frigid Times moves back and forth across the continuum of history in a mission to inform on the CW, both in terms of history and as a bellwether for current events.

Enjoy, and learn. And where I stumble in trying to inform, teach.
