Episode 106 Hour of Decision: Eisenhower (7) Communist Gains and Fake Containment

Lew returns to his series on the presidency of Internationalist Dwight David Eisenhower. Ike allowed Richard Nixon and John Foster Dulles to campaign in 1952 for the liberation of the“captive peoples” victimized by communism, but he hated it and had no intention to fulfill those promises. He proved it by ignoring rebellions in East Germany, Hungary, and even within the Soviet Union.

Ike also aided/ignored communists and their advances in Vietnam, Cuba, Algeria, and Iraq, while seeking negotiations with the USSR at every turn. We now know American governmental and corporate credits and technology empowered our “Cold War” enemy at every turn.
