I agree, the USSR assumed too much good faith on the part of NATO. Millions of casualties from economic devastation later, nationalist wars are still breaking out between former soviet states, and Nazism is on the rise.

Wars "breaking out" like it isn't Russia invading everybody else lmao

It literally doesn't matter who is invading who, it wouldn't have happened without the western backed coup of soviet democracy.
