    NSC-68 was a 1950 classified national security report that outlined the Cold War containment strategy against the Soviet Union. It argued that massive military spending was needed to strengthen US nuclear capabilities and conventional forces to prevent Soviet expansionism. The report, authored by Paul Nitze and others, asserted that the US had lost its nuclear monopoly and called for tripling the defense budget. It helped shape US foreign policy throughout the Cold War by establishing containment as the long-term strategy to counter Soviet influence globally.
