Are you suggesting that Eisenhower didn't try to make things difficult for the Soviets? Versus the surrender-monkeys we have here now?

We weren’t happy with the Soviet action, but I don’t remember Eisenhower exactly trying to liberate Hungary.
As I’ve said to the war-drum bangers on other threads here - if we want to send a message, we should do what Jimmy Carter did in the late 70s, which was to DRAMATICALLY INCREASE the military budget (i.e., the start of the Reagan build-up was actually under Carter).
But I don’t see that - I just see CUT AFTER CUT...and then, when we’re at our weakest in 75 years, a RUSH TO WAR. Just not too smart, in my opinion. How about we BUILD-UP a bit, so maybe we don’t get as many cities vaporized when we find out that their Topols shoot real bombs, and big bombs.
