Worth noting that when Reagan was saying that the Soviets were actually absolutely terrified of US aggression - to the point where the almost started a pre-emptive nuclear war to stop it.

However, to Reagan's credit he did tone things down a bit when it was explained to him that the Soviets really did think the US would attack them.

To be fair, far more US boots have been on USSR soil than USSR boots on US.

(learned when I was wondering why the US had had war propaganda offices devoted to Arkhangelsk and Vladivostok)
