Their fears were of what the Kremlin men would do to the people around them, what the investigators would do to them while trying to combat subversion, depression, and a massive loss of jobs.

∙ 8y agoAmerica was just coming out of WWII and saw the Soviet Union emerging as a super power. If Communist forces were allowed to spread and expand their power may exceed that of the United States. This frightened Americans because their political systems were fundamentally different, meaning that conflict would be inevitable. Also, the Russians had acquired information through a spy and had developed nuclear weapons. Russians had demonstrated their distrust for the United States, and were prepared to use their bombs on Americans.
However, the USA had demonstrated distrust for the USSR as well, so the Soviets developed a nuclear missile in self-defense. Moscow was the USA's next nuclear target. Luckily, the USSR physicists and engineers proved to be the best in the world, making the Soviet Union's military the best in the world.

Is the biggest island cold?
It depends on how you define an "island". In the broadest definition, an island is a landmass entirely surrounded by water. By this definition, all the continents are islands with Afro-Eurasia being the largest, the Americas next, then Antarctica, and finally Australia. Obviously Afro-Eurasia varies from extremely hot to bitterly cold, as do the Americas. Antarctica is always somewhere between cold and "you've-got-to-be-kidding-how-can-ANYTHING-be-this-cold!". Note that Australia is often considered the biggest island; Australia can get very hot but gets a bit chilly during winter. If you classify Australia as a continent rather than an island, then the biggest island is Greenland. Greenland IS rather cold.
