actually, it is true.
veitnam was primarly started because of an "attack" on a US boat by the NVA navy. Thing is, the North had no navy, the attack never happend, and it was a big lie.
Vietnam wasn't about communism. The 'domino effect' on the region was total bullshit. "The enemy of my friend is my enemy" (north vietnam tried to get US-backed help, but south vietnam was sided with france. France got the hell out of the when US came in), and since the "enemy of my enemy is my friend," North Vietnam got help from Russia.
Oh Chi Men (whatever the hell his name is) wasn't a commie. He didn't support communism. But the russians did. Sure, some people in his ranks were commies, but the leader of the NVA was not.
Honestly I bet they are the next ones to go. Why? Iran is trying to acquire nuclear weapons, North Korea is using the excuse that they need them to prevent the US from attacking. Their logic is that Iraq did not have nuclear weapons so the US attacked them.
Iran is easier to invade than north korea, so I disagree.
If we attack Northe Korea with Nuclear weapons Iran may think twice seeing how the US will not be blackmailed.
:rofl:
you actually think we'll use the bomb on NK? Thats one of the dumbest things I've heard.....
not to mention it will unleash hell from Al Queda. They've said they'll only attack us as we've attacked them. If we use chemical or nuclear means, they will as well.
