Containment Breeds Change
Implementing a strategy that combines external pressure with internal support can effectively undermine oppressive regimes. The successful Reagan strategy involved containment that intensified the inherent weaknesses of the Soviet Union, ultimately leading to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Empire. This historical approach offers valuable insights for addressing contemporary challenges posed by regimes like the Islamic Republic of Iran. By studying past victories, strategic planning can be adapted to confront modern threats, emphasizing the importance of internal movements while applying external pressure.
