This is absolute BULLSH.IT
Truman threatened to attack the USSR with nuclear weapons, there was an ultimatum.
"your story" was probably a face saving exercise by the local communists.
Background on Conflict with USSR
...... This was followed by Communist attempts, supported by the Soviet Union, to take over Greece and Turkey. Great Britain, which had been supporting these two governments, came to the United States in February 1947 and stated they could no longer afford to support this effort. This came as a shock to US foreign policy makers, who, until then, had not realized the extent of Great Britain's decline as a Great Power. Truman, supported by a bipartisan Congress, took up the challenge. Bohlen maintains: "It was in the face of such realization that the United States, in the person of President Truman, made probably the biggest decision for the future of American policy." .......
