In most TLs the Soviets are always the ones who initiate a first strike of some kind during the Cold war or invade a smaller nation. When it history it seems the US was more willing to invade smaller nations or crush socialist movements in other countries. For the most part the Soviets did nothing about this. I'm just curious if there are any TL's where the US fires the first shot?
If not it seems to me that a knee-jerk US response to a communist revolution somewhere in the world and a Soviet response might be an interesting thing to explore. Besides the Cuban missile crisis of course.
