What was the purpose of president john f. kennedys flexible response defense policy?

The flexible response defense policy, developed by President Kennedy, responded to the concepts of the graduated response and aimed to respond to each threat or aggression, with a response proportionated to the nature of that, in the hope of mastering the escalation process and driving the opponent to contain himself or negotiate.

Explanation:

The defense doctrine of John F. Kennedy, called 'flexible response', sought to minimize the possibility of an armed conflagration between the United States and the Soviet Union. The objective was then that there should be an effective mutual deterrence that, although it would not put an end to tensions, would prevent the destruction that could be caused by the use of nuclear weapons by either of the two countries. The maximum manifestation of the use of this strategy was the difficult resolution of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
