Very correct Greg. I started out in the north of L’Indochine and after Dien Bien Phu, the south.
There was never any question as to the resolve of the Viet Minh, who originally held the US in high esteem after we unilaterally gave the Philippines their independence in ‘46. They were thinking very long term, maybe 50 years. This at a time when McNamara came over in ‘63 and said “Boys, the war will be over in 3 months”!???
Israel has apparently decided she has no choice, the UN has proven to be weak, corrupt, and anti-Israel; and the Israelis are still waiting for the UN to enforce Resolution UNSC 1701 requiring that Hezbollah must move north of the Litani River. Some may see it differently, but Israel has determined she is fighting for her very existence and the real enemy is Iran, which the world, led by the US has somehow deemed untouchable, even as Iran directs, arms and supports Hamas, the Hezbollah, the Houthis and factions in Iraq and Syria. Not to mention, that though denied for years, we now know Iran is now at the door of having nuclear weapons. Lest we forget Iran also supplies drones and ballistic missiles to Russia. Over 60,000 Israelis were forced from the towns and villages in the north. October 7th changed all the rules Israel was being required to live by. It is apparent Israel has said no more, and Never Again is now.
Frighteningly True. Thanks Greg
