TRUMP MULLS ENDING ALL ONGOING MILITARY AID TO UKRAINE

They were not combat troops, they were advisors. JFK sent a division of combat troops. Truman did send Americans, too.

They certainly didn't sit behind desks. They were out in the field with troops, and armed.

And, a Republican President kept up the support and the bombing campaign after LBJ. It's just a fact, LBJ's policies broke the VC, and the North only survived by violating the DMZ and other agreements, and his Viet Nam and other policies bankrupted the Brezhnev Doctrine and the Soviets. Whining about Democrats going to war, with lots of Republican support, is just weird modern propaganda spin, by Party hacks with nothing else to hang their hats on, no different than modern Democrats; two Parties playing Good Cop Bad Cop games on the public.,

It was definitely LBJ's war. Nixon was the one who pulled all of our troops out, officially ending our military engagement.

He was pandering to Red China. The North VN mostly just laughed at Nixon. The Red Chinese respected Kissinger; they just ignored Nixon. Viet Nam was abandoned by a Republican administration and left to be over run by Communists, same as they will do to Ukraine soon.
 
There was not a threat of another world war starting up in Vietman. The fact is Truman was the first to get us involved in Vietnam.

You keep shifting around. A world war was very much a threat all through the post WW II era, and Viet Nam was just another outpost of the contain policy. The U.S. needed to show SEATO allies it would back up its word re helping them defend Communist aggression around the globe, not just Viet Nam ; the Russians had to to do the same thing. Viet Nam was just one stage. The fact is many Republicans supported the containment policy, and continued it during their administrations.

If it weren't a threat, then why is even Trump pandering to Putin's nuclear threats even today? Trump himself invoked 'WW III N Stuff' just the other day, whining about Zelensky.
 
So, Truman wasn’t the “first” to involve the U.S. in Vietnam if you mean boots on the ground or a primary policy focus. His role was laying an indirect foundation through aid to France, driven by anti-communist priorities.

And helping smaller weak countries resist international Communist aggression is a bad thing?
 
I don't avoid books, Edwina. Denying your own posts will never work. ANYONE can read them for themselves!

Obviously you do; otherwise you would know about Wilson's unilateral discussions with the Kaiser's diplomats that the kept secret from his allies. The only ones in denial are you shills who never read a book and just parrot current GOP propaganda, pretending it;s all Democrats' fault n stuff, i.e. silly nonsense and lying by omission.
 
Not to mention the fact Russia has suffered up to 800,000 casualties in Putin's invasion of Ukraine. They've lost so many troops, they've hired mercenaries from both Syria and North Korea along with conscripting old men to fight in the meat grinder.

Trump's solution is to have Ukraine surrender to Putin. I disagree that an innocent invaded country should be forced by the Free World to surrender to a thug like Putin.

Earl has admitted he's broken his oath to both God and the Constitution in his support for a wannabe dictator and Russophile.

According to International Institute for Strategic Studies, Russia has suffered massive casualties since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Estimates suggest that more than 800,000 Russian soldiers have been killed or severely wounded, making this one of the deadliest conflicts for Russia since World War II. The report indicates that Russian forces have relied on poorly trained recruits and convicts to sustain their offensive operations, leading to exceptionally high casualty rates. Despite these losses, Russia has continued its large-scale assaults, particularly in eastern Ukraine, while struggling to replenish its ranks with adequately trained personnel.
Trump did not ask Ukraine to surrender to anyone, Sybil. You are still hallucinating.

The Vietnam war was started by Leftists, Edwina.

Who is president matters. And it was socialist democrat presidents that led us into all 4 major U.S. wars of the 20th century.

American citizen support for the V war fell apart. Many blame Cronkite.

Nixon followed the will of the American people.

What is your definition of 'communism'?

VP Nixon was in charge of Southeast Asia, and the Caribbean for Eisenhower. He made a mess of both.
