The relationship between the two nations was strenuous.

Explanation:

The relationship between the two nations had been strenuous and in the middle of a major security dilemma.

The security dilemma was because of the fact that both nations had nuclear warheads and wanted to make sure that their own powers and capabilities could exceed the one of the others.

This was a flawed nature of relationship and has caused many conflicts in the nations.

At this time, the United States and the Soviet Union were still allies. They seem to be in an agreement to promote peace in the world after World War II. They also appear to be united in allowing different nations to elect their own governments without any pressure or intervention from foreign powers.
