MAD stood for Mutual (or Mutually) Assured Destruction. It refers to nuclear weapons and the basic principle that if, (for example), the United States were to attack the Soviet Union using nuclear weapons then the Soviet Union would respond in the same way.
In other words, in trying to destroy the opponent, the aggressor would have guarenteed their own destruction also.

MAD stands for Mutually Assured Destruction, a military strategy during the Cold War that posited that nuclear powers would deter each other from launching a nuclear attack due to the certainty of total destruction for both the attacker and the defender. This doctrine relied on the idea that neither side would benefit from a nuclear war, as it would lead to catastrophic consequences for all involved. Thus, MAD acted as a deterrent against the use of nuclear weapons, contributing to a tense but stable geopolitical landscape during the Cold War.

1. Neither of the reasons you state caused the cold war. 2. The cold war was caused by the atomic bomb. 3. The A-bomb resulted in no-one willing to risk fighting total war again. 4. Total war (using the bomb) risked MAD=Mutually Assured Destruction. 5. The Soviet Union is the USSR (same thing).
