It tied up Soviet arms and money and brought their string of Astro-turf "popular" revolutions in Asia and South America to an end. And started the process of bankrupting the USSR for their inevitable fall. That's why puppets on a string all over the Left—the agents of influence used by the KGB—were so incensed. They had Martin Luther King come out against the Vietnam War in 1967. On national TV, he called America "the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today." America has no gulags, Rev. King. Even the Washington Post denounced him for it. You know that line was written in the Kremlin.
Vietnam was a righteous war, won by righteous men, and given away by slippery traitors in Congress.
Thank you, you will make my upcoming sleep restful.
Bears repeating.
