USSR: Let the Greek communist be! They are doing what's best for their government! If the government was overthrown, Stalin will provide financial acid to support the government. We see no issues here.

US: The Truman Doctrine, our superior financial aid will stop this containment of such threat to the world. We shall free the people!

USSR: Free the people? Democracy? If you really believe in freedom, let the Greek communist to be free to do what they want!

US: Such an insolate statement! This does not change the fact that we defeated them in our final battle! Greek is welcomed to our side (NATO).

USSR: We feel betrayed by East Berlin's Communist Party! How could they break down the wall that separates the two sides! This is unacceptable!

US: This is a revolution! For the people and by the people! This reunification between the two sides of Germany shall be made!

USSR: Now that the wall has fallen, central and eastern Europeans nations are liberated from the Warsaw Pact! All of our efforts are now in vain!

US: This liberation is for the good! More than 2 million people are now free from your chains under your pact! Let them be free! Let them express their democracy!

USSR: Under the struggles of poverty after the great wars, nations shall turn to us for aid in return they shall embrace communism!

US: There's no need for you. Through the Marshall Plan, we will provide $17 billion and ensure the Europeans prosper because of us!

USSR: We will get there first before you do! With our Molotov Plan we will rebuild the Europeans!

US: That's not necessary. Our Marshall Plan will already help them produce twice as much compared to how they used to! This plan is already helping them rebuild everything they ever needed.

US: The tension between America and communist China is finally going away. Our relationship is going to be normalized!

USSR: Normalizing your relations with communist China? Why don't you guys normalize our relations?

US: We don't think that will be necessary. Our decision to recognize communist China wasn't made lightly. This decision will help change the world and shift the Cold War balance.

USSR: Because of you! The international community is taking in interest towards you and not us!

US: Us Americans were the first to reach the moon. We won the Space Race defeating you Soviets.

USSR: However, that does not mean that we aren't the first to touch space! We are the one's that influence you in trying to get to the moon! Without us, your ambitions would be nothing!

US: That is simply untrue. Defeating you Soviets was just seen as a necessary security measure. We don't need you guys in our way. We chose to go to the moon ourselves and we made it happen. Millions witnessed this on national television, so you can't twist the truth.

USSR: Showing this to hundreds of millions of people, you show offs! Damn...now we know how you guys felt when Sputnik was sent into the orbit.

USSR: The all mighty US, who has superior conventional weaponry, yet they still lost the Vietnam War? Sending over 2 million troops and spent tens of billions of dollars to fight the North Vietnamese communists.

US: Fighting the North Vietnamese communist was to prevent South Vietnam from falling to communism. What did you guys even do to help?

USSR: We literally won by aiding a total of 560 million rubles which is about half a billion US dollars. Isn't it embarrassing that we made less effort and yet we won? Such poor military intelligence.

US: We did what we could to prevent South Vietnam from going under communism and we were greatly involved, so there was no backing out.

US: We were informed about the missiles placed in Cuba. We will be placing a naval blockade on Cuba to prevent further Soviet shipments of missiles.

USSR: Trying to block our exchange of missiles with Cuba? Do you want another world war? You guys are not any different as you have nuclear-armed missiles in Turkey!

US: The missiles that you placed in Cuba are a threat to us. We decided maybe we can come to an agreement with Khrushchev to prevent this potential nuclear war since it has been bringing great fear to many of our people.

USSR: Secretly having exchanges with Khrushchev and promising to never invade Cuba again? Oh HOW cool! I guess we avoided a nuclear war. We should secretly talk with Turkey and have them withdraw the missiles as well, isn't that a great idea?

USSR: President Kennedy my man... it was definitely a top secret invasion. Thank you for helping us? Our ties with Cuba strengthened with your help, thank you SO very much!

US: We had not expected to be attacked like that. Why would Cuban troops be stationed at such a swampy location on the southern coast of Cuba? They even sank two ships and destroyed half the force's air support.

USSR: Seems like the all mighty US can't defeat a remote coast of Cuba. Seems like only 20,000 troops and a few Cuban air forces is all it takes in a day.

US: I guess this made the communist party look powerful in some way.

USSR: We are more artificially superior in technology than you will ever be! When will the first ever artificial earth satellite launched to space? No problem! We already did it, with our Sputnik.

US: Us Americans will eventually develop something greater and better.

USSR: No matter how many years of technology and ambition, it does not get away from the fact that we did it first! This Space Race shall be ours!

US: You guys may have created advanced technology first, but we are set out to develop and launch our own satellite to defeat you guys in the space race.

Warsaw Pact Formed (Warsaw, Poland, May of 1955)

USSR: This pact will grant the Soviets to have more control and will succeed in preventing the communist states from greater independence!

US: The formation of the Warsaw Pact was a clear indication of Soviet aggression in Europe. The Soviet Union, along with its Eastern European allies, formed a military alliance to counter NATO and its Western European allies. It was an obvious attempt to expand Soviet influence and suppress the freedom of Eastern European nations.

USSR: Why complain? You guys made NATO, so it should be fair if we made our own alliance, Warsaw Pact. Isn't this kind of hypocritical?

US: The creation of NATO was simply trying to counter this aggression and protect the freedom of the nations of Western Europe.

USSR: We are just support a friend who is in need of aid. Kim II Sung is just trying to unify both halves of Korea. Let him take over as he will make Korea a better place for all!

US: This is not what unifying is! Kim launched a surprise invasion and attacked South Korea. How will this help unify things?

USSR: So many deaths taken, yet we are indirectly at war. Let us be at an agreement in this proxy war, North shall pursue communism while South shall pursue yours.

US: We agree. Let's just divide the two sides and create a border where North Korea will remain communist while South Korea will embrace capitalism and democracy.

USSR: 3 million people escape eastern Berlin to a democratic life? As many were skilled workers: doctors, teachers, engineers. THIS IS UNEXECPTABLE! WHOEVER LIVES IN EASTERN BERLIN STAYS IN EASTERN BERLIN!

US: The wall shall be erected sooner or later. There is no purpose for this wall as it wasn't built to protect East Germany from "fascists" but rather to enforce Soviet control over the region.

USSR: You are promoting fascism! Our people are being persuaded by you fascists! This wall shall be built to prevent you evils from undermining our states!

US: That will not be happening! The construction of this wall was a violation of human rights and an obvious attempt to control the people and their ideas.

US: 12 countries in North America and Western Europe will gather and form an alliance against you Soviets. We will protect each other against any of your attacks.

USSR: A 12 nation alliance? NATO? To promote your democratic values? It will be fair if we made our own alliance, the Warsaw Pact. To promote our communist and socialist ideology.

US: I don't think so. NATO's purpose is to promote democratic values and help member nations prevent conflict.

USSR: You are trying to make the world a better place with democratic values, but all we see is another war as tension arises. As if you guys are preparing for another great war from these alliances.

US: In order to protect our people from communists, there we will start blacklisting Hollywood actors. We believe that there is a serious threat of communists in the film industry, so there is no other choice.

USSR: Blacklisting Hollywood actors under fear? At that point, let them join and embrace communism on our side.

US: That is not what we are trying to promote. Our job as a country is to protect our people from people like you, communists. Therefore, we will do what we have to do, including blacklisting any suspicious Hollywood actors.

USSR: This is not fair for everyone, under Stalin’s rule, everyone shall be equal and shall not be blacklisted like this.

US: Our fear of communism is growing. We will not take any chances with anyone that is suspected to be a member of the communist party. We will be convicting and executing those that are suspicious of communist behavior.

USSR: Where is the evidence? You guys accuse, convicted and executed people like Alger Hiss, Julius Rosenberg and his wife Ethel, under this fear.

US: THIS FEAR IS WHAT KEEPS OUR PEOPLE SAFE! Those were all people accused of spying for the Soviets. They leaked our secrets, which is enough evidence against them.

USSR: This fear has caused people like Senator Joseph McCarthy to list 205 State Department officials who belong to the communist party with no solid proof. Even if this is true, they shall be honored under Stalin's rule! Why fear communism when you fear your own people.

USSR: The Berlin Blockade shall block all roads and rails to the city. No one from the west of Berlin shall be given food, oil or any sort of supplies! Unless they accept our leader, Joseph Stalin, we shall provide them aid.

US: THAT IS OUTRAGEOUS! We won't let that happen on our watch, we will be sending food, fuel, and supplies by air to the city. The city will be so well supplied that they will not be needing the help of you guys.

USSR: Our leader, Joseph Stalin is doing this to unify Berlin after the city was divided by the Russians. What's so wrong with that?

US: That isn't what unifying is. You guys are tearing the city apart by trying to starve your people into submission.
