(64,604 posts)The French were losing their colony and the support of their people, who wanted out of the endless war. America, like it did a lot during the Cold War backed the wrong side, helping the French in their "anti-communist" zealotry. Our involvement there began far earlier than most now know, in the Eisenhower administration.
In the end, it was an bottomless sinkhole of carnage and corruption, leading finally to a withdrawal much like our withdrawal from Afghanistan, pretty much a clusterfuck.
Opening up another front in the War on Terror seems like a really bad idea now.

(3,997 posts)It's how criminals like Mango Mussolini operate. They instinctively seek an angle that gives them plausible deniability. Like the recent "They always wanted a ballroom" bullshit. A statement that cannot be proven false. Of course once the brain deteriorates as his clearly has, he also uses those words because he has no idea who he means by 'we' or 'they'. As my dad got older he did that same thing. Nearly everybody was just 'they/them'.
