Is this not the reason the second amendment exists? Regards An Australian Edit: I’m not advocating for violence. More so “a well regulated militia” which could be established by protesters or Democratic Governors for genuine self defence.

South Vietnam was an American puppet regime. The puppet regime was entirely dependent on the US military and the leaders were picked by the US and ousted whenever they did something the US didn’t like. You are plainly speaking in bad faith and attempting to use technicalities to avoid facing the truth of the US defeat. “Mhm, see, technically, Japan didn’t lose that territory because Manchuko was an independent blah blah blah.” It’s an obviously stupid line if you apply it in any other context, but your chauvinism blinds you. Just like the line about “We only ‘lost’ because of morale” or the line about kill death ratios mattering, apply it anywhere but Vietnam and you’ll see how fucking stupid it is.
Nazi Germany killed a hell of a lot of Russians in WWII. I don’t actually know if they killed more than they lost, I believe so but I’d have to check. Does that mean Nazi Germany won WWII? Does that mean I don’t know who won WWII, because I don’t know the KDRs? Do you see how ridiculous it is to say that? And yet, that’s exactly what you’re saying about Vietnam!
You literally just said they “failed in their goal to spread communism.” As in, to spread communism beyond their borders. As in, Domino Theory. As in, the idea that the communists fighting in Vietnam were aiming to take over the world and turn it communist. You’re straight up contradicting yourself.
Christ Jesus in heaven.
Russia took over Germany, they invaded the land and took it by force that’s winning. North Vietnam did not take American land, so they don’t meet that requirement of winning. Germany surrendered. The US did not surrender so they don’t meet that requirement of losing. Russia established a real puppet government in east Berlin where they had full control over the Germans who lived there. North Vietnam had no control over the U.S.
So in what ways can we analyze north Vietnam showing domination over the United States?
It was a bar fight between 3 brothers NVA, VC, and ARVN. the two brothers NVA and VC were beating ARVNs ass then a random dude at the bar who was kind of drunk wanders over and tells ARVN he will help him and then proceeds to kill VC, he then starts beating the shit out of NVA but NVA keeps getting up and trying to hit ARVN so finally the drunk dude walks away with some bloody knuckles and a little scratch on his face and NVA finishes what he started and beats ARVNs ass. Saying that NVA beat up the drunk POS makes no sense, you can say NVA won the brotherly fight but saying he beat up the drunk POS is an objectively incorrect statement
Domino theory wasn’t that Vietnam was going to conquer adjacent areas it was that the idea of communism was going to spread and there would be seperate revolutions in those countries
Not sure if you are drunk, high, or just uneducated but just read the Wikipedia article about the Vietnam war before you reply because your misunderstandings of basic things like what domino theory is even about is causing you too much confusion
Lmao.
No it wasn’t. It was the Vietnamese fighting against the invaders and their comprador regime.
Nuh uh! Who cares about land, Germany had a higher KDR, that means they won! KDRs are super important in determining who won or lost, that’s what I learned from you, that’s why you brought it up in the first place, isn’t it? Or were you just talking nonsense, coming up with excuses for why the US didn’t “really” lose?
They weren’t fighting over “domination over the United States,” dumbass, they were fighting over control of Vietnam. Which they got.
I have no idea where this idea comes from that seems to be something exclusively American, that “defeat” means total, unconditional surrender and occupation, and anything short of that isn’t “really” a defeat. It’s so insane. Like, after the War of Spanish Succession, pretty sure all involved countries still existed afterwards, but one side got who they wanted on the Spanish throne and the other side didn’t, meaning, one side won and the other side lost. I guess according to you, the countries that dumped tons of blood and treasure and got nothing out of it “didn’t really lose” because they weren’t occupied. More realistically, you would say they lost, because they did lose and anyone can see it, and, and this is crucial, the US wasn’t involved so you’re not blinded by your chauvanism and propaganda, like you are with Vietnam.
The absolute state of education in this country… zero understanding of anything, literally just reciting a bunch of memes and talking points designed to twist words around in order to defend the US’s “honor.” Americans are such a lost cause, how am I supposed to reason with this shit? Excuses after excuses after excuses, can’t back up even a single point.
Is chauvinism your sat word of the day because you also don’t know what that means either.
I had a hope that you at least had the capacity for some rational thought but you clearly showed you don’t. So send your final edgy reply and then you can go back to covering your ears and shouting into the void
Lmao I’m the one with no capacity for rational thought? Defend anything you said this conversation. Any one thing:
The Vietnam War was “lost” in morale - Show me a war that was lost not on morale
Kill Death Ratios are important in determining who won or lost - explain how this applies when we look at WWII
Vietnam lost because they failed in their goal of spreading communism and didn’t occupy the US - show me how this applies to other wars, such as my random example of the War of Spanish Succession
You can’t. You just move on seamlessly from one excuse to the next, zero thought put into anything you say, zero reason or evidence, just pure brainless talking points, probably just regurgitating what some coach passing for a history teacher told you.
**Stand by one thing you said.*"
