i agree
but A decade or so after world war 2, the USSR had created nuclear bombs 50 (yes fifty) times more powerful than the ones used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Not to mention the ability to persuade neighboring countries to follow them into the USSR. The USSR even had about 1/5 of the total land on Earth, so they had a lot more space than the US and NATO. And don't forget about the manpower, the USSR had more soldiers than the US could even cope with. PLUS the USSR had Cuba while the US only had Turkey. Sure both were great but Cuba was a lot closer to our lines than Turkey was to their's.
If you want to know a neat little fact about the USSR during the cold war, here goes. Nikita Kruschev's hardest achievement was keeping the Russian Cossacks under control, nearly every single one of them wanted to turn it into a full blown war with America but Kruschev kept them from making that mistake.
Russia and America were VERY evenly matched during the Cold War, who knows what it'd been if it never stopped.
