    The correct answer to the following question will be "Brinkmanship".

    Explanation:

    Brinkmanship seems to be a strategic tactic used throughout the Cold War, where a government will pressure the edge of a volatile problem or situation in search of the best possible result on that side. That's a commonly used term associated with the U. S as well as the Soviet Union during most of the Cold War.
