The finding by the Trump administration is the strongest denunciation by any government of China’s actions and follows a Biden campaign statement with the same declaration.
You can consider Vietnam a win for the US in some sense. The broader goal was not to just smash Communism in Vietnam (which was a failure) but to stop Communism from spreading in the region (a success for the US). It was confined to Vietnam and brutally, brutally kept out of Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, etc.
Is there any reason to believe these other countries were ripe for communist revolution had the US not invervened in Vietnam? Feel like the French did a lot of the heavy lifting for the Vietnamese to become radicalized.
Plus the million or so leftists and communists that were massacred in Indonesia via kill lists provided by the CIA

could america actually justify a war if all the propaganda justifying it is so easily disproven? a new costly war for no reason is not how you get votes
okay, but biden doesn't knows how to say the word 'no' about as well as he knows its actual meaning. which is to say not at all.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!
War has changed.
The US military has fundamentally lost like 90% of its conflicts world wide since WWII.
That last war being won by the Communists just in time for the USA to jump up on the podium and start screaming number 1 number 1.

I initially read that as LAUSD.
which also has a small military. but AFAIK has never been at with with specific communists.
both I, and this shit hole country, are deeply fucked up, that it took so long for me to re-parse.

You mean like when they brought in very real yellow cake in a napkin to a speech about how we need boots on the ground in Iraq?
