- 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
- 02:04
For absolutely nothing Shmoop
