Question

Which analysis do you find more persuasive, Kennan's or Lippmann's? Why?

Answer 1

Answer: Analysis by Walter Lippmann.

Explanation:

And if Kennan's analysis has exciting details that can inspire the reader to think, Lippmann is right in saying that he was influenced by Marxist ideas when drafting his report. We can add too little in this context. Kennan focused mainly on criticizing the foreign policy of the United States, which had to be rigid as it became a state with centuries-old claims to various territories of Europe, especially those in the east of the continent. These efforts were intensified, especially after the end of World War II. Therefore, Lippman's statement that the Soviet claim to Eastern Europe is an innate imperial ambition, not a communist doctrine, is a fascinating thesis that can be seriously debated.
