Different political and economic system in USSR was absolutely not the issue at hand. There are still absolute monarchies like Dubai, we don't shake nukes at each other. The issue was that USSR attempted to realize Marxist ideal of worldwide worker's revolution through KGB creating an appearance of such revolutions through meddling and then Red Army taking over countries. The same tactics are on display in Donbus today.
