In your opinion, which nation is at fault(Or should I say, more at fault) for the start of the Cold War?

...

How so?
The Iron Curtain speech kinda annoyed Stalin sure, but it more seems like the United State's policy of Containment is more at fault.

The Soviet Union was a belligerent totalitarian dictatorship, even if their leaders were admirable as individuals, the system they were in meant they had to expand their power wherever they could by default.

Russia by far

>annexing neutral countries and destroying the intellectual class because ayy communism is great lmao
>its so great you're not allowed to talk to non-communists
>why are you comrades talking to each other behind your glorious savior's back?
>we did so much for you. You owe us everything (:

Germany

USSR
1946 Iran crisis.
Deliberate policy of securing political control of police and intelligence services in Central European states to eliminate opposition. Side-lining local communist leaders and placing 'Moscow men' in positions of influence and power to undermine local political institutions.

russian are rats, Thank you liberators(read: occupants)

>'Moscow men'
Hotel Lux

The goddamn Belgians, of course.

Russia

If germans never financed the bolsheviks would the revilution have occurred anyway? If not would tsarist Russia have persisted.

The USA.

The USSR was a peaceful nation but the imperialists would not leave it alone.

Westerned european countries that financed the counter revolution or "whites" by didn't respect the will of the russian people.

Whites weren't russian?
Or they weren't people?

Germany is most at fault. Germany's "irrational" from the Soviet point of view, attack on them in 1941 ramped Soviet paranoia in the international arena up to record highs, which meant that they always thought any action from "The West" was aimed at hurting them, specifically.

>annexes all of eastern Europe
>Peaceful

USSR. They had been acting like imperialist cunts since Lenin took over, but were too retarded to do it themselves. Then WW2 provided a good cover for them to sneak in a few territories.

Israel

Friendly reminder that the Bolshevik Revolution received funding from Wall Street.

>The USSR was a peaceful nation

it was a clash of ideology mixed with the U.S's fear of Communism taking hold of the middle east and European nations. Not forgetting the war in Korea.

Russia obviously. they tried to take over all of Europe. And copied the western European's colonial project in the far east. they learned nothing from the war.
