The policy of massive retaliation and the approach to war known as "brinksmanship" are primarily associated with U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles during the Eisenhower administration in the 1950s. Massive retaliation aimed to deter Soviet aggression by threatening overwhelming nuclear response to any act of aggression. Brinksmanship involved pushing dangerous situations to the edge of conflict to force the opponent to back down, thereby maintaining a strategic advantage. This approach reflected the heightened tensions of the Cold War era.

The threat of nuclear war
The term "brinksmanship" is most closely associated with President Dwight D. Eisenhower and his Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, during the Cold War. They employed a strategy of pushing dangerous events to the brink of disaster to achieve favorable outcomes in international relations, particularly in the context of nuclear diplomacy with the Soviet Union. This approach was characterized by the willingness to escalate conflicts to the edge of war to compel an opponent to back down.
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.
The term used during the Cold War was "brinksmanship." It refers to going to the brink of war.
Brinksmanship is the policy that shows a willingness to do whatever it takes to protect national interests. This is a political game of "chicken" that can escalate a situation to the point of disaster. A military example of this â??no holds barredâ?? approach would be a push for nuclear war.
Brinksmanship increased tensions, and eventually caused war. Nixon took office during war, and switched to detente.
A country that is willing to engage in war to protect their interests is said to be pro-war. They will generally try to be diplomatic first, but war is a viable option for such a country.
