Explanation: As the Cold War kicked into full swing, the USA developed a nasty habit of backing incredibly brutal dictators because they weren't painted red.

As one might expect, the real losers in this 'game' of politiking was neither the USA nor USSR, but the people in developing countries who got to 'enjoy' the dictator tug-of-war between the superpowers.
