Answer: The spread of Communism around the globe
Step-by-step explanation:
The USSR had always maintained that their goal was to spread Communism around the globe. The Americans did not like communism and viewed it as a restrictive system that would deny people the rights that the free market gave them.
The US feared that in losing the Cold War, Communism would indeed spread around the globe and lead to a situation where the United States would be isolated politically and economically which would not be an ideal solution because it might lead to the US falling to Communism eventually.
