Buddy we weren’t ruling southern Vietnam. But we were propping up a wildly corrupt puppet government in the south. Once we gave up on that, they found us useful to play off China and still do. They dont really care about us.

Vietnamese independence is a long saga. First fighting against the French, then with the Japanese against the French, then against the Japanese, then against the French again, then against the US, then against China.

North Vietnam only recognized south Vietnam under international threat. Besides, if Buchanan had signed such a treaty before Lincoln entered office would you then have sided with the south? Are treaties really the moral arbiter in this situation?

Point is you can’t really “invade” your own country. They’re both Vietnam. The north had a moral duty to support their oppressed brethren in the south. If that means sending troops to support then so be it. Claiming moral outrage over this because they “invaded” their own country is a childish form of morality that strips all historical context.

Like do you think the Confederates were justified because the Union invaded them?

The US was had troops in South Vietnam since it was founded. It was a rump French puppet state with incredibly corrupt catholic government that was persecuting the Buddhist minorities. The north was made up of the national forces that kicked the French out. They had every right to overthrow the southern government.

This isnt russian troll position. Americans were saying this enmasse the start of the Vietnam war. American protestors died to stop that war. Draftees killed their officers frequently over it. Read anything about it.

What’s so loose about surrendering Afghanistan back to the Taliban?

So what will the goal be in Yemen theb? Just bomb them enough that they can’t threaten shipping? The Saudi’s bombed them for almost a decade. Or are we gonna put “boots on the ground” and occupy Yemen until Israel is done with its genocide? I dont think thats going to work well. Maybe we’ll sponsor the Islamic State to do it for us?

Vietnam was justified

The absolute historical ignorance Americans put themselves through to preserve the patriotism. You really gotta shove your head deep into the sand to have never gotten a history lesson on Vietnam.

• Yemen: I’m blockading the Red Sea to stop the genocide in Gaza.
• US: Iran, please tell Yemen to stop.
• Iran: lol no, this is righteous.

Somehow this makes them Iran’s puppets. Oh well, guess we’ll have to do “Operation Enduring Freedom part 2: Prosperity Guardian”. Can’t just tell Bibi to stop.

They flew in with a Palestinian flag on their helicopter. Their own flag say’s death to Israel and America; the nations doing the genocide and sponsoring the genocide. And all of this is after they just survived a genocide at the hands of the Saudi’s with US bombs and went on to win the war.

Maybe, just maybe, they mean what they say.

Maybe the Houthi’s just take their slogan literally and have their own motivations? Everyone’s got to be a puppet though. Is Israel doing a genocide because the US told them to?

The US will lose to the Houthis faster than they did to the Taliban. The Houthis are far better soldiers than the Taliban an have already been dodging US made bombs for a decade.

But hey, maybe it’ll stabilize Red Sea trade long enough for the Zionists to complete their genocide.
