Best Answer

The Soviet Union was a ruthless expansionist empire, as shown both by its actions, in overrunning Eastern Europe, and its statements, such as, most famously, that of Nikita Kruschev who said "we will bury you" in a UN speech (not very diplomatic of him). The USSR was also very heavily armed with both conventional and nuclear weapons. As a result, US policy was shaped by fear.

The US is a democratic country and for many years the Soviet Union was a communist country these to principles alone shape the foreign policy between the two. As the Soviet Union’s communist structure began to fall our foreign policy changed. More communication and trade and military talks began to happen as the Soviet Union reshaped its governmental structure.
