As for the policy of "containment," it is one which seeks by all means short of war to (1) block further expansion of Soviet power, (2)
expose the falsities of Soviet pretensions, (3) induce a retraction of the Kremlin's control and influence, and (4) in general, so foster
the seeds of destruction within the Soviet system that the Kremlin is brought at least to the point of modifying its behavior to
conform to generally accepted international standards.-From NSC-68, 1950
