Document Summary
Give me an example of when you tried ram but other factors constrained your decision making process. If international relations is the interactions between states, foreign policy looks at just one and tries to figure out their motivations. Safe, affordable, close to public transport, pretty: ranked and weighed priorities. Made a form and looked at all the options objectively: recognize and define the problem, decide and prioritize objectives, develop alternative paths, determine benefit maximizing path. What"s in the best interest of the people of the us. Appeal to the world, we are being bullied. Not good bc us kept trying to kill castro, bay of pigs. Alternative paths: do nothing, public announcement, appeal to the un, diplomacy with ussr or castro, threaten invasion of ussr or cuba, invade cuba, air strikes to take out missiles, naval blockade, nukes. Not invading technically, no boots on the ground. Can keep sending missiles even if we blow them up.
