Reply #84: The military threat to attack the US might have been exaggerated, [View All]

[DemExpat]

but Cuba, Eastern Europe, and Africa, are all reasons - economical, ideological, and political -
that the US rightly perceived the USSR to be a threat to its interests and ideology.

Mostly wanting a world without barriers to economic interests (friendly to capitalism) often disguised (IMO)
by championing of Democratic Ideals, was the main reason the US Played the Cold War game.

Just studying this very subject in my American Century course this year!
(British perspective...........:-))

Have a big paper due Wednesday on how the Cold War affected the U.S. (culturally, economically, politically, etc.) :crazy:
