Yes, given the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. never had between them a nuclear war. The Cuban Missile Crisis was the closest they ever came, during the interval of October 14, 1962 until November 20, 1962. The crisis arose over the placement by the U.S.S.R. of nuclear missiles and other assets in Cuba, which is located a mere ninety miles from Miami, Florida. From there, these missiles could have reached anywhere in the continental United States and southern Canada (except perhaps Alaska).
U.S. policy has been credited with being proximately causative of the dissolution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, which occurred between January 19, 1990 and December 31, 1991.

∙ 12y agoContainment was a United States policy using numerous strategies to prevent the spread of communism abroad. A component of the Cold War, this policy was a response to a series of moves by the Soviet Union to enlarge communist influence in Eastern Europe, China, Korea, and Vietnam. It represented a middle-ground position between détente and rollback. The basis of the doctrine was articulated in a 1946 cable by U.S. diplomat George F. Kennan. As a description of U.S. foreign policy, the word originated in a report Kennan submitted to U.S. Defense Secretary James Forrestal in 1947, a report that was later used in a magazine article. It is a translation of the French Cordon sanitaire, used to describe Western policy toward the Soviet Union in the 1920s.

US policy during Cold War?
Foreign Policy: Mainly focused on the policy of containment, the Idea of keeping Communism where it was. The United States was using its political and economic influence in Europe to try and lessen the power of Communist forces.Domestic Policy: Supporting business as well as expanding the middle class became popular ideas. We also saw a rise in popularity of Suburbs and a growth in the white-collar work force.There are books written on this topic. The Cold War was the defining feature of American foreign policy for decades. The Soviet Union was believed to be an imperialist threat to the entire world. The US and the Western world needed to prevent the USSR from rolling across countries the same way they rolled across Eastern Europe after World War II. *The Cold War reinforced the perdominant US policy of paranoia and the ideal of "if we don't do it first they will". The proliferation of nuclear arms during this period has since amplified the notion that America is better than all other countries in the world, and should have "first dibs", e.g. when saying that they should secure America's right to occupy space, beyond all of what is normal acceptable patriotism. *

Did containment work during the Cold War?
Did Communism spread much? Nope. Did the Soviet Union collapse? Yep. Containment worked. ___________________________________________________________________ Well, we fought two hot wars under containment: Korea and Vietnam. Containment obviously didn't work in SE Asai where South Vietnam vanished, Cambodia and Laos both went communist. It's hard to give a clear answer on whether it worked or not. The USSR didn't collapse due to containment. Communist just does not work as an economic model and so it collapsed. It likely would have collapsed a lot sooner if they had not received a boost in innovation taken from Nazi Germany in 1945.

Where and how did eisenhower practice containment?
.The United States would work to stop Communism from spreading.
Did the foreign policy of containment work yes or no?
Generally speaking, the US policy of containment with regards to the spread of Communism was a success in that, Soviet plans to dominate the world never came to pass. Communism did make gains after WW 2, however, the US and it's allies were successful in making sure that the USSR could not bring communism to the world. They had success in several areas such as China, which for the most part was unaided by the USSR. The failure of the Communist nations to promote dramatic revolutions on a worldwide scale was an indication of the weakness of the Soviet system.
