@rodroidrx it's not debatable who started the Cold War. The fact that it was the west is a well documented fact. US was also the first country to develop nuclear weapons and use them on civilian population of Japan to send a message to the Soviet Union.

Meanwhile, USSR always tried to come to treaties to disarm and deescalate, the west was never interested.

Highly recommend watching this documentary https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1494191/
