Dien Bien Phu, North Vietnam. Biggest, costliest(in terms of casualties), and key in the French getting the heck out of Viet Nam. By the time the French left, the US was funneling $1,000,000 a day into the Indochina war effort. But that was acceptable because there were not many boots on the ground for Uncle Sam.

Gulf of Tonkin Incident in August 1964, US Naval forces attacked in "International Waters". This was proven fabricated, but swayed congress to enter the war because of "communist aggression". It paved the way for Uncle Sam to fully enter the doorway of Viet Nam and not just have their foot in the door. Our brave and gallant armed forces were sent to fight with no end goal or objective in mind.

That is why I believe nothing with regard to our governments take on Ukraine, and most matters. Allocate(take yours and mine) more money for a proxy war. This goes hand in hand with how the administration plans to solve "climate hysteria", by digging their hands deeper in our pockets.

Money does solve one problem, to satiate the greedy. But they are never satisfied.

I wonder who is getting rich in Russia?
Most likely the oligarchs who backed Putins Invasion.
War is good for the economy.

Gas hit $5.219 here today. Putin's price hike.

Well sure, they have to buy new yachts now. I think the US has some old ones we could make them a deal on.

There's a reason Biden and company are so involved .
How do you think the squad got elected ?

You're all looking in the wrong place !Just like the propaganda that the price of crude oil is lower than it was a month ago , but the price still went up .Anything to direct you from the truth.

if anyone really wants to know what is going on,look up the articles related to the collapse of the soviet union 9 years after it Invaded Afghanistan in 1979.

And yet The UN and NATO put both our countries there in the 90'S !
Think about that !

Our economys were booming 9 years after,not collapsing.No comparison at all
Read the history.Its all there in the articles from both sides.

So just because our economy's were on the upturn it's OK to start a war ? Sorry , but I don't buy the propaganda we're being fed ! There's more at stake for the UN and NATO  than we realize ! Just like global warming , who's behind it ?  NATO , and the UN ! Who wanted our country to give up hand guns ? NATO , and  the UN !
Just thinking outside of the box global warming put us in !

There's a lot more to think about than just what MSM is feeding us !

Never mind the media-read the history and de classified documents from that time period.
Then you will see clearly what is going on,how long it will go on and what the outcome will be.

We are going to get a one world government. Russia is just a useful idiot for the UN and NATO, being used to gather in more countries into an ever tighter bond.

OK Post your declassified documents , if you have them .

Any of ya'll do the quick conversion on those prices at $57.25 Ruble to $1 dollar? Pretty striking.

Do your own research,I told you to google Afghanistan and the collapse of the soviet union.
All the links to the de classified history is there from both sides..Its comprehensive.

LOL Prove it.

? It is history and on the record what happened to the soviet union 9 years after they invaded afghanistan,Prove it?,I remember it.
The current situation,if you study the historical record is unfolding right on que.

Today's Russia is nothing like the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Boco, you are comparing apples to oranges.

Nothing is is unfolding on que regarding the Russia/Ukraine situation as it compares to Afghanistan.

You need to re read the info thats out there and how the soviet union was collapsed bythe pressure from the west.
It is identical what is unfolding.Right down to the fear of russia being surrounded by non communist coutries,and their expectation of a quick and easy takeover that devolved into a quagmire of spotty control of small areas of the country instead of the takeover and control of the country.t wound up a gruelling stalemate and was an integral reason of the collapse of the soviet union 9 years later.

identical in every way and it is unfolding exactly the same way.
