Saigon would have fallen in 1972 during the Easter Offensive if not for massive American air strikes. If Nixon hadn't resigned, the Saigon regime probably would have survived ... until 1977. So it would have had two more years left. Face it, the Republic of Vietnam just didn't have the "fire in the belly" to make it without American hand-holding.
