The film was directed by noted [[liberal]] Stanley Kubrick, whose other films have dealt with inappropriate sexuality (''Lolita'' and ''Eyes Wide Shut''), the supposed [[Theory of Evolution|evolution]] of man (''2001: A Space Odyssey''), and a liberal view of the military (''Full Metal Jacket'').  Like ''Full Metal Jacket'', ''Dr. Strangelove'' is used as a tool to mock the military and portray the buildup of nuclear weapons as foolish, even though it was this footing that allowed the U.S. to win the [[Cold War]].
