That averted the war! They had to think of more creative ways to win. Soft power, diplomacy, bloc formation, proxy wars. In the end the Soviet Union exhausted itself and collapsed. I wouldn't say it's the only cause of its collapse but cold war and constant pestering by the United States helped in its fall. Therefore, the victory.
The point is the United Nation is a Great Nation which won without fighting-directly- but why didn't it fight directly? Nuclear threat or just because it thought I am too Great to fight directly, let's defeat the Soviets the softer way!
