Kliment Yefremovich Voroshilov

If we enjoy the benefits of peace, it is only because we have an excellent armed force and a fine socialist economy. Let us exert all efforts so that our further development may be strong and mighty, so that our numerous enemies may think well and long before they decide to attack our country, and so that if they attack, they will quickly regret it.

The reality was that the basic defense posture of the Soviet Union and the United States was essentially the same during the Cold War.
