No. That's what the Cold War was. We won the Cold War. But, we lost in Vietnam.

Is there any way for me to draw the conclusion that without the Vietnam war the Cold war would not have succeded. ?

It's an arguable point. You could say the Communists victory in Vietnam was a pyrrhic victory.
I don't think it's a good arguement. The Soviet Union was very active in Central America after the U.S. defeat in Vietnam. They were enboldened by the U.S.'s defeat.
