The U.S. sending U-2 spy planes over the USSR, and various other forms of spying, was not justified. Instead of containing the spread of communism in an open, productive and honest way, the US resorted to spying and espionage. These actions were not justified.
A justified method the US used was founding and joining NATO. By the late 1940s the USSR had drastically tightened it's grip on it's satellite nations, with democratic parties in these nations being unfairly persecuted. The US joining the anti-communist organization to contain communism was justified.
Ending relations with China from the 1950s onward was an unjustified method the US used. Congress and the American people viewed the USSR and China in the same negative light, but instead China followed it's own interests and rejected Soviet control. Cutting off relations with China was not justified.
