Answer 1

do you believe the Eisenhower/Dulles approach to massive retaliation was effective in keeping America safe and secure?

Massive retaliation was also referred to as the massive response theory or the theory of massive deterrence, which was a doctrine of the military in which the state would commit to retaliation in a force that is much greater, in the case of an attack. I do not believe that this would lead the state into the arms of safety. Though, this would make a state strong by a massive display and back up of nuclear power and strength, but he fact that there would be an attack on an attack is very aggressive. This goes in sync with the phrase ‘an eye for an eye, makes the whole world blind’. This would only cause destruction at a scale much larger than what people can imagine.
