Blake,

Many of my close relatives are refugees from the Soviet Union. The Soviet view was that they wanted a buffer between themselves and Western Europe to avoid a repeat of the loss of many tens of millions of lives from invasion, as happened in WWI and WWII. They invaded Poland, Hungary and Chechoslavakia to this end.

They did not trust the Americans either, and were at least as fearful of our nuclear capability as we were of them. Both governments fed their citizenry with unwarranted paranoia about the intentions of the other. There is little evidence that the Soviet's posture went much beyond defensive.
