AFAIK it'd be very unlikely for the US to lose the Cold War either by economic or governmental means. However, there were several instances throughout the Cold War that could have gone either way in my book. I'm interested in seeing how people think the world would look like if the US had not done as well as it did OTL in the Cold War.

So, let's say that while the Berlin Airlift and the Cuban Missile Crisis happen as OTL, but most everything else comes to naught, including the Korean War and a more violent repression of Hungary and Czechoslovakia. What would the world look like with the US, and NATO perhaps as a whole, looking much worse off?
