Question

NSC-68 led to a rapid build-up of defense resources in the U.S. The goal was to prevent war with the Soviet Union by building up weapons.
If you were a political leader at the time, would you have argued in favor of this strategy, more aggressive tactics, or more peaceful tactics? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

(This is an opinionated question so there actually is no right or wrong answer. I will put what I would have answered, and you can change it up it's not what you would put :] )

Explanation:

I would have chosen more peaceful tactics. Though it's true that the Soviet Union may have went against any peace treaties as they have plenty of times, it's ultimately a better option than spending all our time and money, that could be better spent on other things within our country, on stockpiling weapons. It has been useful in being a reminder to other countries not to test the U.S., but it's also cost a lot of money that could be put towards better causes.

I hope this helped :)
