We let one country fall to the Communists and the others know we don't give a fuck about them.

Yeah, right.


We let Vietnam fall in the end, and gave up Taiwan. In return for letting one domino piece fall and more or less cutting the other loose and letting it twist in the wind, we return gained china as an ally against the USSR and put USSR in a strategic bind they never figured out how to escape from.

The ultimate conclusion of the Vietnam War was as complete and utter a refutation of the domino theory as can be conceived.
