What was President Kennedy's foreign policy in regards to Vietnam?

Question

which one of these would be the right answer?

A. Kennedy provided economic aid to South Vietnam, but did not provide any military assistance.
B. Kennedy supported free elections in South Vietnam.
C. Kennedy believed the South Vietnamese Army (ARVN) was capable of defeating Vietcong insurgents in South Vietnam.
D.Kennedy believed it was necessary to stop communists at all costs.

Answer 1

D. Kennedy believed it was necessary to stop Communists at all costs. That is why he escalated the conflict in 1961 by sending 16,000 U.S. military advisers to "South" Vietnam.

The other answers are all false.

The Communists in Vietnam were not "contained" - since they fought to unify their country - which they did in April of 1975, and they had no designs to spread their control to Indonesia, Japan, or Australia.

Answer 2

President Kennedy believed in the containment of world wide communist expansion. In that he followed the advice of President Eisenhower, President Truman, and Senator Henry 'Scoop' Jackson.

President Kennedy represented the last of the New Deal/Fair Deal democrats that originated with President F. D. Roosevelt; who were disillusioned with Stalin's denial of over a billion dollars worth of Lend/Lease, and Stalin's violation of the Treaty of Yalta which he signed. It was obvious to Eisenhower, Truman, and Kennedy that the goal of the Soviet Union was world wide domination, and Kennedy drew the line at South East Asia.

The communists where contained in South East Asia and did not spread to Japan, Indonesia, or Australia, thanks to John F. Kennedy (and then LBJ and Nixon).
