When it comes to subs I think the US got the bulk of that technology too, being as the Soviet Union's Navy during WWII did pretty much nothing of consequence. Vendzilla would know more about this.
I was just pointing out the territory versus its people.
It's total semantics given one could easily talk about
being distracted with Korea at the time.

I simply think that as they had a physical passage to
the epicenter it must have offered a greater advantage.

Much like the nuclear history of Ukraine, and what went missing.

Granted the Americans never left, it's hard to say. It really was divided.

The question is the relative size of the pieces.

That nuclear stuff was one of two things, physical or theoretical.
