Truman was one of the best Presidents in the history of the United States, and as Churchill said, he was more responsible than anybody that Western Europe did not fall into Stalin’s hands, as what happened to Eastern Europe. Wisely, Truman did not attempt to prevent China falling into the hands of the communists, as any such attempt would almost certainly have failed. If the Americans could not stop the Communist take over of South Vietnam, it is impossible to see how they could have succeeded in China, a vastly bigger country with a vastly bigger population. Truman made many decisive decisions, as any good President or any other leader would do.

He did indeed. As for Jimmy Carter, I will be the first to say that although I did not like him as President, the man's integrity was beyond question. I believe that his biggest flaw was that he truly believed that you could reason with anyone, and that no one was really evil and he acted on that premise.

2:50 "Protect from the incursions of Communism" But that is what Truman didn't do ! Turkish Straits crisis :- When the issue was brought up at the Potsdam Conference, the President of the United States, Harry S. Truman, said the question of the straits was a domestic political issue pertaining to Turkey and the USSR, and should be solved by the two involved parties.[15] As the argument heated up in the days preceding Potsdam, the United States decided it firmly did not want the straits to fall into Soviet hands, as it would give them a major strategic gateway between the Black Sea and Mediterranean and possibly lead to a Communist Turkey. In a secret telegram sent by US Under Secretary of State Dean Acheson to diplomats in Paris, he explained the American position on the matter.[16] In our opinion the primary objective of the Soviet Union is to obtain control over Turkey. We believe that if the Soviet Union succeeds in introducing into Turkey armed forces with the ostensible purpose of enforcing the joint control of the Straits, the Soviet Union will use these forces in order to obtain control over Turkey…. In our opinion, therefore, the time has come when we must decide that we shall resist with all means at our disposal any Soviet aggression and in particular, because the case of Turkey would be so clear, any Soviet aggression against Turkey. In carrying this policy our words and acts will only carry conviction to the Soviet Union if they are formulated against the background of an inner conviction and determination on our part that we cannot permit Turkey to become the object of Soviet aggression. - Dean Acheson, Telegram to the Secretary of State at Paris - August 8, 1946
