COLD
WAR EXAM
In these circumstances it is clear that the
main element of any United States policy toward the Soviet Union must be that
of a long-term, patient but firm and vigilant containment of Russian expansive
tendencies... It is clear that the United States cannot expect in the
foreseeable future to enjoy political intimacy with the Soviet regime. It must
continue to regard the Soviet Union as a rival, not a partner, in the political
arena. It must continue to expect that Soviet policies will reflect no abstract
love of peace and stability, no real faith in the possibility of a permanent
happy coexistence of the Socialist and capitalist worlds, but rather a
cautious, persistent pressure toward the disruption and weakening of all rival
influence and rival power.
