The Cold War involved containment of the communist philosophy so other nations wouldn't move towards communism. This is what the war in Vietnam was about and that the use of force in Southeast Asia to keep the communist pushed back. In this time period Russia had control of East Germany and the Baltic States and it was thought that if Russia wanted to invade Central Europe they would come through Poland into Germany and drop into central Germany. This is one reason NATO and American bases have been maintained in Germany. As it is Putin, today, is trying to rebuild the Baltic States and control parts of the Middle East, but the United States policy is not one of containment today.
