Question

What if the Cold War never ended?

Answer 1

Far more intelligence services activity Again, due to the nature of the Cold War, the intelligence services would have been in funded like crazy. It would have been overdrive for them and what they were up to. They would have been investing in all sorts of new technology and all sort of new operatives

Answer 2

To answer the question, if somehow both nations involved had been able to sustain the status quo of the Cold War up to this point, I suppose we would live in a world that was highly militarized and regimented, with children doing "duck and cover" drills in school and families stocking bomb shelters at home, and that the cooperative efforts the world has seen in science, medicine, and technology since the launching of the international space station would never have occurred. The world would be a poorer place. It has changed for the better since the Cold War ended.
