The correct statements that demonstrate the rising tensions during the Cold War related to the Berlin Blockade and airlift are:
- **The Soviet Union tried to control Berlin through a blockade, but the United States got around it.**
- **The Soviet Union and the United States did not go to war but acted aggressively toward each other.**
The other statements are inaccurate in the context of the events surrounding the Berlin Blockade. The U.S. Air Force did not bomb Soviet East Germany, and there was no Soviet air force bombing of West Germany during this period. Additionally, while the U.S. and Soviet Union did work together during World War II to defeat Nazi Germany, the post-war scenario marked the beginning of their tensions and rivalry.
