"President Nixon: For example, I hope to talk with the Prime Minister and later with the Chairman about issues like Taiwan, Vietnam and Korea. I also want to talk about—and this is very sensitive—the future of Japan, the future of the subcontinent, and what India’s role with be; and on the broader world scene, the future of US-Soviet relations. Because only if we see the whole picture of the world and the great forces that move the world will we be able to make the right decisions about the immediate and urgent problems that always completely dominate our vision."
President Nixon wanted to resolve the issues with China and other countries such as Taiwan, Vietnam, Korea and especially the Soviet Union. The tensions between the countries would affect the future of America.

"There are many people in the world who really don’t understand, or say they don’t, what is the great issue between the Free World and the Communist world. Let them come to Berlin. There are some who say that communism is the wave of the future. Let them come to Berlin. And there are some who say in Europe and elsewhere we can work with the Communists. Let them come to Berlin. And there are even a few who say that it is true that communism is an evil system, but it permits us to make economic progress. Lass’ sie nach Berlin kommen. Let them come to Berlin."
This speech details the reasoning behind the US joining the Cold War, and the justification of this. Also, it shows how the US was becoming more involved internationally by joining foreign wars that they were not apart of.

During the years following the mid-century, the US became much more involved in foreign affairs, which was ironical after two major wars of the world. One example of this foreign involvement was the Vietnam War. With tensions arising between the North Vietnamese and the South Vietnamese, a civil war was brewing. The US then stepped in to support the Southern Vietnamese. President Eisenhower first sent advisers to Vietnam, who only surveyed and trained for a potential war. It was not until JFK when the US sent actual troops to fight in Vietnam. Other presidents that sent troops included Nixon, LBJ, and Ford. This war ended in a bloodbath, where there was no true victor established. This was important because it showed the American people that they would not listen to their beliefs, and would also lie to preserve the US.
