However...

First, please cite the source of the quote.

Second, the quote is basically saying that the theory is correct because the exact conclusion was the opposite of what the theory proposed?

Essentially the theory went: If we lose in Vietnam, every country in Southeast Asia will fall to Soviet influenced communism.

However, we did lose, Vietnam went "communist" (note quotation marks), and every country in Southeast Asia didn't go communist, thus proving the theory by proving it's opposite?

Wait, what?
