What Fluffy is talking about was the theory that if one country fell to communism that others around it would as well. If Vietnam fell, then Cambodia and Laos would too and eventually all of southeast Asia. However, the domino effect can be used to describe the spread of democracy as well, but that is not its exclusive use.

The Containment strategy that you are talking about was a policy created to stop the Soviet Union's expansion of influence through spreading communism to non-communist countries.

So essentially you are both correct.


And if ninty9 doesn't use something to back up his post, one of you would demand that he proves it. So if he includes something to backup his view in the post, that would save time. Not everyone just takes someones word for something, and since he is pretty much the only one that has a view contrary to what most of the people post here, he would have to defend himself more often.
