After the u2 incident, eisenhower believed it was necessary to employ a policy of brinkmanship against a) josef stalin. b) john foster dulles. c) harry truman. d) nikita khrushchev.

The answer is Nikita Khruschev. Soviet Premier of the USSR.

In 1960 the world was living what is known as the Cold War, and the relations between the Soviet Union and the United States were really tense. On May 1st of this year, a U-2 American spy plane was shot down while flying above Soviet territories by the Soviet Air Force.  At first the United States said it was a weather research aircraft, but once the Soviet Union inspected the wreckage of the plane, found out it was taken photos of the Soviet military bases. After this, the president Eisenhower said it was necessary to employ a policy of brinkmanship (an arms race) against Nikita Khrushchev, the leader of the Soviet Union.
