The U2 incident was where A united States spy plane was shot down over Russia. The pilot was Gary Powers and he was captured by the Russians, who used this to embarass the US.

The US. The USSR stole our plans to make their first bombs.
The US did NOT allow the communists (USSR) to expand during the cold war.
One event that shows how close the US and USSR came to nuclear war during the Cold War is the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. The Soviet Union placed nuclear missiles in Cuba, sparking a tense standoff with the US that lasted for several days. Another event is the 1983 incident involving the Soviet military officer Stanislav Petrov, who prevented a nuclear war by correctly identifying a false alarm of a US missile attack. This incident highlighted the potential for accidental nuclear war due to technological and human errors.

Enemies.
If you mean the incident where the US U-2 Plane was shot down over USSR, one consequence was that in the 1960 Paris Conference where the leaders met to discuss issues like the Berlin crisis, Khrushchev walked out when Eisenhower wouldn't apologize and talks there were a disaster for Us and USSR relations. :)
