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

don't we do that all the time

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

It'll be rough for a long time

pretty poor

but around the late 2000s things would start cookin

wht about the rise of China?

what about them

They wouldn't invade once we won

wouldn't China's dominance in the region hinder alot of growth

It would be like a S. Korea 2

Not anymore than it would have for South Korea

And to a lesser degree japan

Why did US lose the vietnam war tho

Because they did cucked on purpose throughout war to literal sabotage
Failed at coalescing anything out of south veitnam
Never crossed the border
Probably was for the better though in a way
