Containment.
During the Cold War, the United States adopted a policy of containment to counter the Soviet threat, emphasizing the prevention of the spread of communism. In the event of a Soviet attack, the U.S. was prepared to respond with military force, potentially utilizing nuclear weapons as part of its strategy of deterrence. This approach was encapsulated in doctrines such as the Truman Doctrine and the Eisenhower Doctrine, which aimed to support nations resisting Soviet aggression. The overall goal was to maintain a balance of power and protect democratic nations from communist influence.
Soviet/Communist containment.
President Kennedy's foreign policy program towards the Soviet Union was characterized by a mix of confrontation and diplomacy, particularly during the Cold War's peak. He adopted a strategy known as "flexible response," which aimed to provide the U.S. with a range of options in dealing with Soviet aggression, rather than relying solely on nuclear deterrence. Notably, the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 exemplified his approach, as he sought to resolve the standoff through a combination of military readiness and negotiation. Ultimately, Kennedy aimed to contain communism while maintaining open channels for dialogue with the Soviet leadership.
