His foreign relations record includes a hell of a lot of ratfucking the third world, including being so paranoid about communism he ended up pushing quite a few nations into the Soviet sphere when the coups didn't work (Cuba, cough cough cough) and directly enabling some of history's greatest monsters when they did, but he is an American president so grade that on a curve I guess

Exactly. I like Ike, in comparison to other U.S. presidents. He had some good ideas, but we have a really shitty track record with the rest of the world, and he's no exception to that.
