"Vietnam was a poor, worthless country - completely outside the original idea of “containment.” The US had no overriding strategic interest there."

I don't know about poor, but as far as the rest, you could be talking about Ukraine. Vietnam was a proxy war with Russia and China. Ukraine is a proxy war, and who knows, but China could also be involved in some form.
