//"In my generation, this was not the first occasion when the strong had attacked the weak….Communism was acting in Korea just as Hitler, Mussolini, and the Japanese had acted ten, fifteen, and twenty years earlier. I felt certain that if South Korea was allowed to fall, Communist leaders would be emboldened to override nations closer to our own shores."//

He is talking about the domino effect. If one country falls to Communism many other small countries will also. He is saying he needs to protect other countries or else America would soon be in danger.
