What could have been alternatives for the US to explore except for a war with Vietnam? Suggestions are welcomed
I could see maybe the US supplying South Vietnam with weapons and actually training the South Vietnamese Army. Another option could be to just ignore Vietnam since it posed no direct threat to the US, but that would go against their Containment policy and their Domino theory.
