Stranica 294 - Its central thesis is that the United States will participate in the defence and development of allies and friends, but that America cannot — and will not — conceive all the plans, design all the programs, execute all the decisions, and undertake all the defence of the free nations of the World — we will help where it makes a real difference and is considered in our interest.
Stranica 115 - Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland; Who rules the Heartland commands the World Island; Who rules the World Island commands the World.
Stranica 294 - Doctrine — a partnership in which: "...The United States will participate in the defense and development of allies and friends, but that America cannot — and will not — undertake all the defense of the free nations of the world...
Stranica 45 - ... Once almost totally dependent on American military power, our European allies now play a greater role in our common policies, commensurate with their growing strength.

And it offers a framework for private discussions between world leaders, free of the inflated expectations of summit meetings. These achievements are impressive. But we have had to recognize that the UN cannot by itself solve fundamental international disputes, especially among the superpowers. Thus, we can as easily undermine the UN by asking too much of it...
Stranica 70 - ... countries do not have identical national concerns and cannot be expected to agree automatically on priorities or solutions. Each ally is the best judge of its own national interest. But our principal objective should be to harmonize our policies and insure that our efforts for detente are complementary.
