Question

Do you think America had a right to try and contain communisms spread Throughout the world, even within the soviet area?

Answer 1

I think that the US did have the right to prevent the spread of communism. Any nation that turned communist (except for Yugoslavia) turned out to be because the Soviets arranged it to threaten the US. For example; the Soviets used Cuba to place missiles in the Americas, and China used Vietnam to threaten NATO outposts in the South China Sea. Any nation that was communist was clearly aligned with the USSR, and determined to threaten the US.
