“. . . [A] policy which only aims at containing Russia where it now is, is, in itself, an unsound policy; but it is a policy whi

ch is bound to fail because a purely defensive policy never wins against an aggressive policy. If our only policy is to stay where we are, we will be driven back. It is only by keeping alive the hope of liberation, by taking advantage of that wherever opportunity arises, that we will end this terrible peril which dominates the world, which imposes upon us such terrible sacrifices and so-great fears for the future. But all of this can be done and must be done in ways which will not provoke a general war . . .
“. . . those who do not believe that results can be accomplished by moral pressures, by the weight of propaganda, just do not know what they are talking about. . . .”
–John Foster Dulles, hearing before the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations, 1953

The United States must aggressively use moral pressures and propaganda to oppose Russian expansion.

Explanation:

it was the passage taken from the article of liberation policy which was advocated by John Foster Dulles. He states that Russian expansion and communism is a global threat and this spread of communism must be protected and there must be liberation of the people from clutches of communism.

Liberation of  the people from the clutches of communism not by violence but by rendering moral pressures which can be thoroughly achieved by psychological force and a strong propaganda against the communism spread. He also states that a purely defensive policy would only end up in war and sacrificing lives. It can never win against the aggressive policy of Soviet communism itself.
