Many people don't understand the policy of containment. Policy of containment is successful only when there is a show of force and resolve from Countries who have a unanimous concenses to keep it contained. It is a policy of strength not weakness. It does not mean you let a country do whatever it wants along as it doesn't spill outside it's boarders.
