America 80 years ago:
The first speech hits international political cir with mixed reactions. As the president seems out of touch with how communism isn’t rising as a new ideology. And that Cuba has been communist for over half a decade. Memories in Caribbean governments of the Bay of Pigs incident resurface and make headlines. In Western Europe Questions rise about the United States commitment to a free world or an American world.

The second speech is taken poorly, as the United States’ only neighbors are both politically close and weaker, despite Mexico leaning away. Critics point out that the American military is on a whole other level from all countries except the Soviet Union in scale. Critics also point out that NATO’s attempts an easing logistics have mostly been repulsed by various nations in the alliance being unable to decide. American involvement and troops in South Vietnam also bring harsh words to the administration as the draft is already underway to bring more young men there against their will.

State diplomacy:
Send a diplomatic missions to the major resource producers in the Warsaw pact and friendly governments beyond (China, Cuba, etc) in a effort to increase resource importation to work with the NES program.


Military
Examine military stores for the auxiliary and paramilitary troops in our armed forces. See what type of equipment if more common among those stores (Wehrmacht vs old Soviet) and what would be more economic to produce and support for those forces.

End the practice of practically blacklisting enlisted men who take non-combat rolls. They're serving their people the best way they can and shouldn't be punished for it.
