Abstract:
This document appears to be based on overt information on the Vietnam situation which has been published from July to early September 1967. It interprets curent events with a Soviet bias, and concludes with the assertions that outside help will continue to sustain North Vietnam, while the U.S. escalates the air war to convince North Vietnam that the price of continuing the war is too great. The document predicts that the U.S. will expand the war into Laos and Cambodia.
