The domino theory.

Editorial cartoon depicting US President Richard Nixon and an officer as they pass a graveyard labelled ""Viet War Dead,"". It is occupied by gravestones looking like dominoes. The officer says to Nixon "" .. and, of course, if Cambodia fell then Laos would fall, and if Laos fell ..."". This surmise the domino theory, which asserted that if one country fell to the Communists, others in the region would collapse in turn.
