The major risk that was at stake during the Cold War was the risk of nuclear war leading to the deaths of millions of Americans. It was worth it because the United States had to fight for freedom.
What was the risk of the Cold War?
The Cold War was an informal conflict between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, both of which had enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world.
The U.S. was therefore at risk of annihilation in the Cold War which would have killed millions of Americans. If the U.S. had not engaged in the Cold War however, democracy in the U.S. and around the world would have been at risk of disappearing.
In conclusion, the conflict was worth it.
