Brinksmanship was a term coined by Dulles that referred to the policy of getting to the verge of going to war in order to get what you want from the other party. This was during the Cold War. An example, during J F Kennedy's presidency in 1962 was the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Under President Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, America's policy of brinkmanship involved the strategy of pushing international conflicts to the brink of war to deter adversaries, particularly the Soviet Union. This approach emphasized the willingness to use nuclear weapons as a means of deterrence, thus raising the stakes in Cold War confrontations. It aimed to convey a strong stance against communism while avoiding direct military engagements. The policy was exemplified in events such as the Korean War and the Suez Crisis.
Richard Nixon was Vice-President for Dwight D. Eisenhower, 34th US President.
The Massive Retaliation was a policy under President Eisenhower. The policy was the threatening of nuclear warfare against Communist countries if they tried to seize territory by force. The Massive Retaliation was used to prevent series of small wars, that were unpopular and too expensive.
Eisenhower subscribed , at least in part, to the domino theory, which asserted the Communists were a monolithic organization , dedicated to world domination and that if not checked, nation after nation would fall to communist revolutions until all the world was under Communist control.
