Yeah there was, but it didn't begin with Korea. It began about 1943 when
Germany's defeat was clear and it's conquerors began to consider what
would be the fate of Europe afterwards.

The biggest fallacy regarding it was the Soviet threat which was always
exaggerated. Neither militarily nor politically did the soviet Union (or
China and other 'communist allied') ever pose an existential threat to
the U.S.
