The article examines the role of the United States during the 1968 Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia. Johnson's restrained policy towards Czechoslovakia together with his willingness not to give up his pursuit of at least a symbolic start of SALT along with his unsuccessful attempt to end the war in Vietnam with a 'possible' Soviet help led to a certain 'discrediting' of American foreign policy. This subsequently resulted in the fact that, in 1968, the United States was simply not able to come up with a 'meaningful alternative' to challenge the reality of the Soviet power and rule in East-Central Europe.
