00:57

passage connecting branches What Okay Yeah the correct answer here

01:01

He's Trying to be a peacemaker Yeah What do you

01:03

think Peace out baby Good old president eisenhower takes the

01:06

classic balanced position In his piece out america farewell speech

01:10

he freely admits on multiple occasions that all the military

01:13

expansion was necessary But he asserts that it also has

01:16

grave implications and unwarranted influence The military guy launching a

01:22

duck here What do you think the world gone mad

01:24

over all his is a cautious balanced approach to the

01:28

military He's Warning everyone to be careful moving forward Thanks

01:32

for the heads up Watching for the land mines Calling

01:35

eisenhower and enthusiastic proponent is ludicrous It's way over the

01:39

top Even though he admits the spending was necessary Warning

01:42

of its grave implications makes him not so enthusiastic Yeah

01:46

eisenhower does take a balanced approach there but there's no

01:49

evidence that he's trying to solve the dispute So get

01:51

rid of that one And these are more like his

01:53

you know parting thoughts from his mentioned that the military

01:56

development was imperative We know he's Not exactly an opponent

02:00

either So balanced peaceful war no more What it good
