America Lost Vietnam but Saved Southeast Asia

Had the U.S. stayed out of Indochina, it might have had to intervene in the Philippines at greater cost.

America got into World War II because of Vietnam. When the Japanese conquered what was then French Indochina in September 1941, the U.S. replied with severe economic sanctions, which convinced the Japanese that America was hostile and might use its fleet to block Tokyo’s conquest of Southeast Asia. In December the Japanese attacked the U.S. fleet at Pearl Harbor.
President Dwight Eisenhower, remembering that Indochina had been a base for conquest, declared on April 7, 1954, that a communist victory there could topple the newly independent countries of Southeast Asia like dominoes. The containment strategy against Soviet communism dictated that Washington prevent this. U.S. involvement in Vietnam followed, step by step.

Venezuelan Spring

The people are destitute, angry and tired of socialism. They want it to end.

The latest Venezuelan effort to topple dictator Nicolás Maduro is a pivotal moment in Latin American history, as the international community is acknowledging.
Democratically elected National Assembly President Juan Guaidó took an oath to become Venezuela’s interim president on Wednesday, as prescribed by the country’s constitution. Within hours he was recognized by the U.S. and some 20 other democracies, 11 in Latin America. Other governments warned Mr. Maduro that he has to leave.

Strike Back Against Every Cyberattack

The U.S. can keep foreign hacks at bay by showing its ability and will to retaliate.

Another week, another data breach. The latest is 773 million online accounts for sale, many with passwords included, known as Collection #1. More are likely to come—go ahead and check your status at HaveIBeenPwned.com. All this the same month Marriott admitted that five million unencrypted passport numbers were snatched from its system, probably by the Chinese. Oh, and the Russians might have hacked the Democratic National Committee again after the 2018 midterms. How do we stop this?
