G. Kennan's name will probably always be associated with the Cold War and with the national security policy of "Containment". In 1948 and before, Kennan's stance was that the USSR could not be reasoned with and therefore normal diplomacy was useless -- they had to be simply Contained. A policy that was instrumental in developing the tone of the Cold War.

He did this so effectively that, in 1950, when he moderated some of his views, the result was a break with Truman administration and his departure from the State Dept.

Later, Kennan became an opponent of the Arms Race, and also spoke against America's involvement in Viet Nam, from which we may conclude that Containment was no longer his recommended policy.
