The correct answer is D) the Philippines.
Communist targets for an eventual takeover did not include the Philippines.
At the end of World War II, the Soviet Union tried to implement Communism in many countries of the world. Its dissuasive argument was that the Soviet Union was not conquering the country, but helping the country to free it from the burden of capitalism. Among the Communist targets were East Germany, Cuba, some Eastern Europe countries, and China. But the country that was not a target for an eventual takeover was the Philippines.
