maybe
was the Vietnam war a mistake?
ye
how come?
it failed?
well
yeah
pretty sure the president was "special" to say the least
he deadass assaulted the Canadian Prime Minister
If we had succeeded it would have been great
Just look at south korea and japan
would a democratic vietnam be any better?
think about it
But we made tactical blunders and the south Vietnamese were a bunch of unmotivated cowards
would you say the causes of the war were justified?
Yea
But when we enter a war we need to fully commit and be sure our allies are too
We jumped into a war with an ally that wasn't fully motivated to win
The only reason the south existed really was because of US
We artificially created an ally
Israel, South Korea...
West Germany for a period of time...
But they worked
Because there was more will
And funding our allies does not mean we created them artificially
not saying that
don't know how to say this
let me phrase it like
alot of countries weren't supposed to happen?
Korea was meant to be united but that plan went out the window
Germany was meant to be something else, whatever happened was not part of the plan
Israel is a debatable 1
it survived up to 25 years with a lack of any western support
back to the topic of Vietnam though
let's place ourselves in a scenario where the south wins
ok?
aight
then what?
do you predict the government falls within years?
no
