<em>The United States had a democratic government.</em>
Explanation:
The United States and the USSR had little to no trust for each other and that was because they both wanted two entirely different things...
The United States focused on freedom and having a democratic government. Americans wanted to be able to choose their future leaders by voting, while also having the option of overruling them if they abused their power or did not do what was in the benefit of the people.
The Soviet Union wanted communism, where essentially the government has control over everything. The USSR not only wanted this, but they wanted worldwide communism and to keep expanding.
While both of them wanted different things, it was hard to get along and come to terms with each other. They both wanted to expand completely different ideas and ideologies.
Signs point to North Korea unilaterally launching the invasion. It was not helpful for the USSR and was at a very bad time for the PRC since the war immediately shut down plans to invade Taiwan.
The U.S., especially after Chinese troops entered the war, viewed it as a united and aggressive communist bloc brashly taking over one more country and likely to try more if not resisted. US defense spending shot back up to wartime levels (though far from the WWII peak) and stayed there.
China also viewed it as a feeler for aggression that would go further if not resisted. Both countries were overinterpreting local issues as global ones.
The dramatic reverses were all in the first year, followed by two years of stalemate before the armistice.
