Ain't Soviets allied to Americans in Fallout?
I always interpreted it as a 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' sort of thing. There weren't exactly good feelings between the US and USSR (and rightly so, I hate communists) but because China was annexing all of Asia, the Soviets saw their heads on the chopping block next and came to the US for help (like the failures that communists are).
I guess it could've been like the 60s - 70s period when the USSR started to mass troops on the border due to how Mao messed up relations with Khruschev.
Though I don't think the USSR would ask the US for help. Sure, China has almost-infinite manpower, but I don't think in the FO world they'd have the technological advantage. I mean, they were stuck with their cheap rip off of the T-54A until the late 70s!
...speaking about technology, what's the cut off? Because there's stuff like the MiG-25 which was designed with vacuum tubes due to the threat of ECM/etc. Looking for tanks, infantry weapons and air force.
Perhaps I spoke incorrectly. I was meaning to make a connection to WWII, where the Soviets and the US were fighting Nazi Germany. Not literally asking for help, but looking back on history we all know they needed American aid desperately.
Speaking of which, I wonder where Japan was in all the middle of this.

Sheesh bit of an anti communist bias. The Russians weren't allied, just on relatively friendly terms, with Americans still creating anti-Soviet Propaganda.
It's a failed system. I'm sick and tired of seeing communism everywhere. Also, the only places I saw propaganda were Fallout 3, which is non-canon, and New Vegas, where the enemies are indirectly referred to with Russian type names. The workers at HELIOS ONE likely just had a grudge against the Russians because they had grandparents from the Cold War days. That, and the US and the USSR weren't friendly, just loosely tied allies because they were fighting a greater enemy.
