The risk of nuclear war in this area is greater than in any other area of the world today. There is an important additional danger to mention. Thailand is being subjected to enormous pressures from all sides which threaten to break the Thai Government apart and directly involve the United States in another war in Asia. The vast numbers of Cambodian refugees now in Thai camps which are close to the border with Cambodia are a source of friction. China continues to pressure Thailand to funnel arms to the Pol Pot guerrilla forces in Cambodia or in Thai camps. Getting the Thais to fight against Vietnam even covertly will increase Thailands political and military dependence on China.
