Answer 2

• The Cuban missile crisis taught the United States what containment feels like.
• In a democracy, the need for broad public support to engage in a dangerous confrontation can have lasting unintended foreign policy consequences. One example is foreign policy tunnel vision that can last for generations because of "accepted truths" trumpeted to justify the confrontation.
• As a conflict develops, minor actors play the biggest roles.
• Multilateralism is key.
• A flexible and varied military force, including a strong navy, gives policymakers a wide range of response options.
• Crisis management may require upending long-established military doctrine, plans, and policies.
• During a crisis, when military action is viable as a first response, the morality of using weapons to reach a resolution must be considered in order to prevent a catalyst for greater conflict and subsequent death.
• Avoidance of nuclear confrontation has no alternatives and therefore alternatives to nuclear confrontation should be sought; forethought leaders know that some decisions may as well be — final.
