Such a government would be bolstered by enormous amounts of U.S. aid. Benoit suggests that between 1970 and 1975, the United States should supply the Republic of Vietnam with $4 billion of economic aid and defense expenditure, plus another $9 billion of military aid.

Meanwhile, outside the hall, some 500 younger Czechoslovaks waited. As the crowd walked out of the door, it was greeted with hoots of "collaborators!" and "shame!" Soon fists were flying. It took several busloads of police, who waded into the crowd with rubber truncheons to restore order...
...attack as "justified by nothing" and defiantly warned a cheering crowd of some 100,000 Rumanians in Bucharest's Republic Square that "tomorrow, perhaps someone will call this rally of ours counterrevolutionary too." Tass was quick to oblige, charging that Rumania, along with Yugoslavia, was "actively" helping "the antisocialist forces in Czechoslovakia."
