By your logic the Japanese garrison on Iwo Jima was not defeated.
How far off topic do you need to go to make a point? How many words do you need to insert in someone else’s quote? (yawn) You are extremely tedious as well as intellectually dishonest.
It’s a tough position to defend, but in light of what Mexico’s done to our social services and labor market destruction, I’d be perfectly OK with taking Mexico as reparations.
Play all the subtle silly semantic games you want with “destroyed” vs. “defeated”, but Mexico would be much better-off if their drug cartels were as “undefeated” as the VC were in 1969.
Giap did’t say ‘destroyed’ or ‘defeated’ so it isn’t semantics it is your false premises.
