acknowledge that capitalist countries instantly started a war on every front possible and attacked the Soviet Union since its inception.

I mean.... Yes, but that also kinda ignores all the times the USSR stepped on their own dick for no apparent reason.

The majority of their military engagements weren't with the west, but were utilized to subjugate their own holding in central Asia. Mainly because Stalin went hard on Russian chauvinism and treated central Asians like second class citizens.

Just look at the first 20 military conflicts they were engaged with, very few really involved western powers.
