The Soviet Union wanted war.
Churchill thinks the goals of the Soviet Union were that all the European countries lay in the Soviet area of influence and all are subject to a very high & increasing degree of control from Moscow. In the Congressional Record, March 5, 1946 Churchill stated "I do not believe that the Soviet Union desire war. What it desires is the fruits of war and the indefinite expansion of its power and doctrine. ~Dimonique♥
Clementine Churchill was the wife of Sir Winston Churchill. Winston was a British leader during WW2 and was good friends with FDR. Clementine did not have anything to do with the Soviet Union jk haha idk
Just after World War 1 Churchill was a very keen supporter of intervention in Russia as he loathed Communism. However, that didn't prevent him co-operating with the Soviet Union in 1941-45.
In the eyes of the government of the Soviet Union, every nation that it couldn't influence or conquer was a threat. In fact the Soviet Union was a very real threat to every non-communist nation on the planet, and a real threat to Communist China.
Notably, Churchill recognized the rise and threat of the Soviet Union, and popularized the phrase "Iron Curtain".

Why was West Berlin described as a "bone in the throat" of the Soviet Union
The Soviet Union's aggression after World War II was especially focused in Eastern Europe. Winston Churchill claimed the Soviet Union was extending the Iron Curtain.
In the eyes of the government of the Soviet Union, every nation that it couldn't influence or conquer was a threat. In fact the Soviet Union was a very real threat to every non-communist nation on the planet, and a real threat to Communist China.
The military threat grew out of the mutual ideological threat between the west and the east.
The end of WW2 left these two countries as the only superpowers. The United States saw the Soviet Union as a revolutionary communist expansionist threat. The Soviet Union saw the United States as a counterrevolutionary imperialist threat.
