I dont have much in the way of non US militaria but I have these anti US Cold War (1980s) posters from the Soviet Union.

They are printed on thin paper and show wear but the images are pretty impressive.

I cannot read the Russian text, but I believe your #2 poster with the giant hand and bottle are not necessarily anti-US, but rather a campaign to reduce alcoholism. Alcoholism ran rampant in the Soviet Union with vodka being cheaper than milk. It was a major drain on the Soviet economy. I believe it still affects Russia today.

 

Still a neat period poster.
