Stop the Soviet Union’s influence from spreading.

Containment—articulated by George F. Kennan and adopted in U.S. policy (Truman Doctrine, Marshall Plan, NATO, etc.)—aimed to prevent the expansion of Soviet communism, not to launch direct attacks to seize territory or primarily to force diplomatic talks.
