No, it wasn't.
If I understand the above correctly, about which I cannot be sure.
Even if a plot to squeeze the Soviets was a part of it, it wasn't all of it.
Besides, an increase by the Soviets of their deployment of nuclear weapons on intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) as a countermeasure wouldn't have been "dumb shit".
It would have been expensive, but it would not have been a waste of money, if the US had gone ahead.
