This is of course untrue. There are more than two sides to most situations,
and so you can disagree with the US and the USSR simultaneously.

And when are people going to stop all this worthless name-calling in
net.politics? I propose that we adopt a resolution: anyone who name-calls
is regarded as having run out of arguments, and so the name-calling only
applies to themselves. Thus someone who calls others stupid is stupid for
having said it, someone who calls others fuzzy-headed should clear up their
thinking, someone who calls others loud-mouthed should keep quiet etc etc.
