Well, the great man Lee Kuan Yew appreciates the Vietnam war, yes, it was useless for the Americans, but the communists did not seize power in Singapore and this allowed him to buy time.
According to Lee Kuan Yew, the Vietnam War played an important deterrent role.
Although the American intervention failed, it bought time for the rest of Southeast Asia. In 1965, when American troops entered Vietnam, armed communist insurgents threatened Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines, while the communist underground was still active in Singapore.
The standard of living of the population was low and economic growth was slow. The actions of the Americans allowed non-communist countries to put their affairs in order. … “Without US intervention,” the will of these countries to fight the communists would have been suppressed, and they would most likely have fallen under the rule of the communists. It was during the Vietnam War that the foundations of the prosperous market economy of the ASEAN countries were laid.
