Yes, definitely. This is how some people have been taught in my country - if there's nobody to blame but yourself, then it's usually shifted to those pesky aliens and/or Americans. Some hard Stalin-loving commies still think that way.

Still, out of all the countries in the world I find we have the sacred task of keeping the whole thing from collapsing in on itself (because we've technically advanced so much in the business of trying to kill each other that eventually these weapons have to serve a "higher purpose" of hunting down ISIS and the like). Just like we vetoed Israel, Britain and France when they started the war against Egypt and it almost went nuclear. Just like we both pulled our forces back in Korea, because it was getting nowhere, and just like the Caribbean Missile Crisis ended with a talk, not with exchange of WMDs.

Frenemies is the right term. When SHTF I believe we'll be in the same foxhole, just like the first 2 world wars. Until then, agreed, let's make the dosh off all these shenanigans and throw piles of dung at each other. It doesn't stick, I would hope to believe.

P.S. Let's make a movie. Still love your K-19, would hope that someday my country would make one about brave US submariners (at least about those that served in the pacific), however lately it's been a giant marathon of "NKVD saves the day in 1941 by catching evil assassin ninja Nazis in Stalin's bedroom" kind of thing.

On 30th of January 1945, S-13 Submarine of the Baltic Fleet hit and sank "Wilhelm Gustloff", which was an armed cruise ship transporting Nazi military personnel. This was the biggest, single submarine kill of all time that is yet unmatched. The Captain of said submarine was Romanian-Soviet skipper by the name of Alexander Marinesko.
