That reminds me of why we lost Vietnam. Especially “As the idiom states . . . “. . . Ahhhh, yes, but the Emperor is far away from here.””

In Vietnam the village is the center, not the capital. We lost because of exactly what you explained. Along other things but not understanding the culture was key.

Considering that isn’t it amazing that a essentially a legally elected military coup happened and we’re happy about it? How far we’ve come. I hope Col. David Hackworth is smiling.

3rd try ... don't know why it gets zapped after the last paragraph. Hate new keyboard learning curves.

GOOD POINTS.

Though, imho, the major reason we lost the Viet Nam war was that the globalist puppet masters/war-mongerers did NOT WANT any winning of that war.

They wanted to rearrange some geopolitical pieces toward their global dictatorship etc. etc. etc. They wanted to steal a lot of money from taxpayers for their traitorous purposes. They wanted to nudge depopulation along a bit.

SECDEF McNamara was complaining that they’d only managed to kill 55,000 military personnel—“But we know how to do better next time.” GRRRR There is some comfort in the thought that he is in a particularly horrible place in hell.

Don’t recall what else I wrote. LOL.

It would be the same here if anybody tried to take and hold the countryside. It would be impossible (especially with the 300 million guns and trillions of rounds of ammo). It just goes to show that it is terribly HARD to take and hold territory unless you are prepared to kill a LOT of people.
