Why did events in Asia and Europe dominate U.S foreign policy during the cold war period?

During the Cold War the policy of the United States was one of containment of communism. China dominated Asia and it was a communist country. US policy was to try to contain the Chinese spread of communist doctrine in Southeast Asia. In Europe it was containment of Russian communist doctrine and to stop the Russians from attempting to enter Western Europe. It was felt if Russia would invade through Poland and enter central Germany in force. To some extent there is still a bit of that philosophy present in American foreign policy. It can be seen with the American reaction to the Russian take over of parts of the Ukraine. Today NATO is adding troops to Germany.
