1. I was intimately familiar with Soviet anti-aircraft weapons on the Ho Chi Minh trail ..

Mainly 37mm and 57mm. But occasionally 12.7mm at lower altitudes. And the rule of thumb for the source of the anti-aircraft ammo: red tracers usually meant Russian, and green tracers meant Chinese.

2. I watched a Vietnam

Doc on PBS last night. I had no Idea L B Johnson was such a total ass hole. There was an audio of him talking to Eisenhower about the hippies protesting his precious war. Called them brain diseased and less than human and was praising how his troops roughed them up and brought pain, and they DID NOT deserve DUE PROCESS. They were just a minority, sick bunch of left wing radical animals.
Sound FUCKING Familiar????

3. The Soviet Union is long gone

It disappeared years before MAGA emerged, so they don't consider it relevant
