Why did the US oppose communism in some countries (Korea, Vietnam) and did nothing in others (Poland, Czechoslovakia)?

Could you clarify your question? when you ask why the US "did nothing" with respect to Poland and Czechoslovakia, what are you referring to specifically? Are you asking why US didn't oppose establishment of communist regimes in eastern Europe from 1945-49? Are you referring to lack of action in the Hungarian uprising in 1956 and Prague spring in 1968? Or do you mean a broader "why were wars fought in Asia but not Europe"
