THE GREAT FOREIGN POLICY DEBATE

Abstract

The debate centers around three basic premises: (1) The primary threat to the security of the United States is from Soviet expansion; (2) The only critical obstacles to Soviet expansion are those which ultimately must be provided by the United States; (3) The establishment of additional Communist regimes, or the territorial expansion by Communist countries other than Russia would add to the global power of the Soviets and their capacity to expand.
