    What I find ironic is the American newspapers rarely published the atrocities of the Communist North Vietnamese. There's a memorial to the My Lai massacre by American soldiers but not the Hue massacre of South Vietnamese civilians by the North Vietnamese Army. How Chi Minh betrayed the nationalist members of his army to the French in order to make it completely Communist. What a back stabber. Even today, the terrorist tactics of the Viet Cong against the Vietnamese civilians is overlooked when telling the story of the North Vietnamese victory over South Vietnam and how the US Congress cut off aid to the South Vietnamese government after the Paris Peace Accords were signed in 1973. Yet Russia and China helped rebuild the North Vietnam army before they invaded South Vietnam. The American people don't know how the South Vietnam was abandoned by the American government after promising to defend that nation.

    • @brianlaird9327
      @brianlaird9327 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think we do know how South Vietnam was abandoned. While simply "bugging out" is never a good strategy, American response to Vietnamese attempts at sovereignty at the end of WWII was short sighted. Lot's of missteps by Truman, Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ, Nixon, and Ford. Everyone knew it was bad policy to stay in Vietnam, but no one could afford to look soft on Communism. Interesting that Nixon ran in '68 on the platform of law and order, yet created international disorder with the secret bombing (Christmas!) and then later the hijinx with his plumbers with Ellsberg's therapist, and then the break in and cover-up of Watergate.

      In time maybe he will get capped. Cele Castillo (an Iran-Contra whistleblower) was hit with trumped up charges in 2008. That was more than 20 years after he blew the whistle. Gary Webb died 8 years after his story in the San Jose Mercury News, he committed suicide by shooting himself in the head twice (suicided).

    Le fait d'avoir tort est une situation qui ne peut être corrigée que par la vérité. Cependant, pour certaines personnes, la vérité peut sembler fausse en raison de leur propre nature trompeuse. Si le monde du mensonge devenait appelé vrai, cela remettrait en question notre compréhension de ce qui est vrai et ce qui est faux. C'est une représentation étrange du faux à travers le vrai, ce qui ne fait qu'aggraver la confusion. Pour certains, la vérité peut sembler fausse, il est donc intéressant de se demander s'il ne serait pas préférable de placer la vérité dans un monde faux où elle serait considérée comme fausse par tout le monde. Cela fonctionnera de la vérité une paria parmi les mensonges. C'est une représentation de la vérité à travers le faux, et cette fausseté va bientôt s' exprimer par la vérité ou la vérité à travers le faux dans un avenir proche. Cela nous invite à réfléchir et à méditer sur les limites de la vérité et de la fausseté, ainsi que sur la manière dont nous pouvons les distinguer les unes des autres.
