Lorem ipsum
His statement was generally interpreted to mean that, if the Soviet Union or Communist China were to attack any country of the 'Free World', the United States would strike back with nuclear weapons - not necessarily in the theatre of war, but possibly in the Russian or Chinese heartlands. Such interpretations were subsequently strengthened, for example in an article by Vice President Richard Nixon in The New York Times on March 14, 1954: "Rather than let the Communists nibble us to death all over the world in little wars, we would rely in the future primarily on our massive mobile retaliatory power which we could use in our discretion against the major source of aggression at times and places that we choose."
Only in April, Dulles made an effort to weaken the rhetoric in a Foreign Affairs article: "It should not be stated in advance precisely what would be the scope of military action if new aggression occurred.... That is a matter to which the aggressor had best remain ignorant. But he can know and does know, in the light of present policies, that the choice in this respect is ours and not his."
It lacks context, sources, and it may be original research. Uglemat (talk) 12:07, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Nuclear War Survival Skills

message: I added the Peacock tag to this article. It sounds a lot too enthusiastic about this book; I don't have enough direct knowledge of the subject, but maybe someone that do could write an article that doesn't sound like an endorsement. It is also clear scouring the book it refers to that it holds views that go beyond those of a technical manual. Guizzy (talk) 03:43, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Could you please describe what you think is "ad-like"?  The book is in the public domain and was printed as a cold war defense manual by a US national laboratory.  The description is pretty terse.  You may disagree with the content or the time period, but it is a straightforward description of the material.  Rearden9 (talk) 16:18, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Article has been since edited to remove the blatant advertisement. I agree with the removal of the Peacock tag. To see what the article was when I put the tag up, see the version as of 23:34, 8 March 2008Guizzy (talk) 06:03, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Blatant Advertisement?

message: I think this article should be expanded to elaborate more on actual survival skills as well as perhaps a directory of other survival books.  I think Kearny would approve of the spirit of that action.  Either that or there should be another page created.
Survivor
:Very possibly a good idea, and you need to remove the survival tips you added from this article to one like that since they aren't from Nuclear War Survival Skills.  Kearny wouldn't approve of some of the items in the tips, since his research found them to be wrong or unneeded, and his book in particular is designed for those who have not prepared but who have a little more time before they must take shelter. Hga (talk) 12:24, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: (Exerpt from a more detailed comment I left on your talk page): I like where you are going with the "First aid" section. A paragraph for each chapter summarizing the chapters/topics in the book (laden with quotes from the book and references to the book) might be a great way to expand the page. Thoughts? Mysterious Whisper (SHOUT) 15:36, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as the "directory of other survival books"; I think that would be better as a separate article, especially if there are many of them/several with their own articles. Mysterious Whisper (SHOUT) 15:36, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

text: Given the quality and correctness (at first glance) of what you added there had better not be any simple reverts!  I made some touchups and additions, esp. for the 2001 fifth printing addendum and KFM instruction scaling, and added Appendix C on the KFM plans; may add the other appendices later.  Thanks for the great work! Hga (talk) 13:27, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the endorsement! By the way, if you cut-and-paste the reference, remember to change the page number and the URL (there's a dedicated URL for each chapter/appendix/etc) (if applicable).

Talk:Project Horizon

message: The article states that the Saturn II would be used in the Horizon program. However, the Saturn II page states that it was designed after the Saturn V. Since the Saturn V did not exist until the 1960s, that means the Saturn II would be a late-60's design, and obviously wouldn't have been part of a late-50's design project. One of these articles is wrong. Maury 23:54, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This article was the one that was incorrect, as were the wikilinks. The "Saturn I" and "Saturn II" vehicles described in the proposal were based on very early Saturn designs from when von Braun was still working for the Army instead of NASA. There was no clear direction at this time, even how the Saturn would be developed, and there were three competing family designs (Saturn A, B and C). The "Saturn I" was evidently the Saturn A-1, but the four-stage "Saturn II" isn't easily recognizeable on the A-B-C list, and was probably something else. It was totally unrelated to the stillborn Saturn V-derivative Saturn II concept in the article, which evidently came along late in the Apollo program, about the time of early shuttle plans? JustinTime55 (talk) 21:38, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I just revisited this article and noticed I missed fixing the erroneous "Saturn II" reference in 2011; I just fixed it by replacing it with a wikilink to the Saturn C-2. JustinTime55 (talk) 13:44, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Tossin' and Turnin'

message: In numerous sources (including his own wiki page), New York session man Wild Jimmy Spruill is credited as having played guitar on the original hit version by Bobby Lewis. Spruill is not presently credited in this article. Only one source (the one linked from this article) credits co-writer Ritchie Adams and Eric Gale as the guitar players. It sounds like more than one guitar on the recording. I have reached out to the person who made the web page crediting Adams and Gale to see where they got that information from. In the meantime, in a few days I will credit Spruill in this article. If there are objections or anything else I should know, feel free to respond here.

Talk:Restatement of Policy on Germany

message: From "Potsdam Conference" in Oder-Neisse line:
James Byrnes – who had become US Secretary of State earlier that month (i.e. July 1945) – later advised the Soviets that the U.S. was prepared to concede the area east of the Oder and the Eastern Neisse (Nysa Kłodzka) river to Polish administration and not consider it part of the Soviet occupation zone, in return for a moderation of Soviet demands for reparations from the Western occupation zones.[17] A Nysa Kłodzka boundary would have left Germany with roughly half of Silesia. The Soviets insisted that the Poles would not accept this. The Polish representatives (and Stalin) were in fact willing to concede a line following the Oder-Bober-Queiss (Odra-Bóbr-Kwisa) rivers through Żagan and Lubań, but even this small concession ultimately proved unnecessary since the next day Byrnes told Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov that the Americans would reluctantly concede the Western Neisse.[18] Byrnes's concession undermined the British position, and although British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin raised objections,[19] the British eventually agreed with the American concession.
Winston Churchill was not present at the end of the Conference as the results of the British election had made it clear he had been defeated. Churchill later claimed that he would never have agreed to the Oder-Western Neisse line, and in his famous Iron Curtain speech declared that "The Russian-dominated Polish Government has been encouraged to make enormous and wrongful inroads upon Germany, and mass expulsions of millions of Germans on a scale grievous and undreamed-of are now taking place."[20]  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.14.217.231 (talk) 21:34, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Now the article says "an editorial section allowed for politically correct criticism of the U.S. or international relations." This seems both vague and sloppy. Vague because we're not told what these criticisms were. Sloppy because political correctness is very much an American concept and the editorial policies of Soviet Life encouraged an Old Left criticism of the US, not a New Left-style criticism based on identity politics and such.

Yet the article goes on to say that "though a nuclear strike would be far more effective (and, as the plans show, a preferable option for the Soviet leadership as shown by their strikes in Western Europe)". This is not correct.
