Kennan asserted that the “problem of how to cope with [the Soviet] force in [is] undoubtedly greatest task our diplomacy has ever faced and probably greatest it will ever have to face. It should be point of departure from which our political general staff work at present juncture should proceed.” He was correct. trumanlibraryinstitute.org Kennan thought that the diplomacy with regard to the USSR was extremely important. Our Foggy Bottom idiots decided they can push against Russia until it becomes pliable and agreeable - aka, weakened. And once this happens, who’s to tell us to stop and not push any further? Turns out that Kennan was right - they do have real red lines. We owe people like Kennan - the Cold War warriors - a debt of gratitude. Thanks to them, we are still alive. I’m not so sure our current fearless leaders will do quite so well.
