Truman claims that Greece and Turkey need monetary support, which can be provided by the United States. Truman continues by claiming that these countries needs this support, otherwise they could potentially succumb to the pressure of the Soviet Union. Truman notes that these pressures from the Soviet Union have been greatly successful during the time, as Europe is currently suffering from an economic stagnation - many cannot maintain the bare necessities of living. Greece and Turkey also ask that America takes leadership in their funding, in addition to providing military support - these countries cannot uphold democracy on their own. Truman then recognizes that the previous World Wars were begun in other nations and because of the regression it could potentially continue to occur in other nations. Truman asserts that rather than relying on the United STates alone, the world should rely upon the United Nations. This is because no nation cannot truly support these smaller countries - Greece and turkey - and that it would be best to have international support for these smaller nations and prevent their fall to communism. truman concludes that the UN is necessary to prevent a communist outbreak, and that America will support the cause of democracy in any circumstance, and uphold the values of freedom for any person asking for it.
