Imagine this maniac wanting the Vietnamese people to decide their own fate. It wasn’t Kissinger who subverted the successful Vietnamization of the war and destroyed South Vietnam. It was the democrat congress that completely defunded the process and left the South defenseless. Many, who today will tell you we should have increased our 500,000 man presence there to “win” that war to prevent the first domino from falling 10,000 miles away, can’t understand Putin doing the exact same thing about NATO’s 16th and final domino falling on his border, 300 miles from Moscow. Heaven forbid Kissinger actually thinking that working to break up the world wide communist monolith was a positive. Thank goodness, after 50 years of that misguided policy, the US has driven Russia and China back into each other’s arms.
THANK YOU!
Thanks for giving a factual historical account of how the Soth Vietnamese government fell. Our leftist’s have repeated over and over and over that the Vietnam war was a military loss. It was repeated enough where most everyone believes it and this is often repeated here on FR.
It was about the domino effect, it was about fighting communism. How anyone here on FR can fret about communist China and then say the Vietnam war was a waste, all in the same breath, is a moron.
We fought the communists in Korea and Vietnam. The stopper was the democrat party, the same ones in love with commie China today. The same ones turning us commie today.
