Eastern Europe, Asia and Central America were the major front. Committing to a 600 ship Navy mean that there was no place on the planet we weren't going to vigorously contest
Thank you for your service
So he instituted major across-the-board military spending increases, creating the largest deficit the US had ever seen up until that point.
Where in Europe, Asia or Central America did he press the issue?
Did he threaten the Russians in any of those areas with actual combat?
Did he fund some major revolution in an eastern block country that freed them from USSR rule?
How exactly did just making across the board spending increases even actually help the situation? Why wouldn't the Russians just have sat back and continued with what they had? The threat of Nuclear Armageddon would stop any major invasion from happening.
As it was, the only place the US actually engaged Russia was in Afghanistan, and they did that COVERTLY.
