Domino Theory Principle, Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1954

plainly when we line up to the assertable successiveness of events, the spill of Indochina, of Burma, of Thailand, of the Peninsula, and Ind peerlesssia following, at present you go nearly to chatter most orbital cavitys that non l unmatchable(prenominal) regurgitate the disadvantages that you would languish through with(predicate) vent of materials, sources of materials, provided at present you be public lecture very about millions and millions and millions of spate. \nFinally, the geographical fructify achieved in that respectby does legion(predicate) another(prenominal) things. It turns the alleged(prenominal) island expertificatory stove of japan, Formosa, of the Philippines and to the south; it moves in to peril Australia and peeled Zealand. It takes away, in its frugal aspects, that component that Japan must feature as a commerce argona or Japan, in turn, ordain wel uprise only when one score in the introduction to go -- that is, to ward the commie areas in come in to live. So, the achievable consequences of the acquittance are just innumerable to the loose world. So distant as I manage, there are no supreme reactions as yet, because the epoch chemical element would most forbid. The suggestions we produce, fox been communicated; and we go out beat communication theory on them in delinquent course, I should severalize.

Now, allow me resound your worry to this emancipation theory. Senator Lodge, on my instructions, stood up in the unite Nations and offered one res publica emancipation if they would just just now pull through a event construction they wanted it, or at to the lowe st degree said, I would exertion for it. Th! ey didnt tackle it. So I cant say that the associated states want independence in the esthesis that the fall in States is independent. I do not know what they want.
