#USInvaders were guided by the #DominoTheory - if Vietnam fell to communism, so would Laos, Cambodia & all of southeast Asia. The Gulf of #Tonkin changed things a lot.

According to the USA, Vietnamese patrol boats attacked the USS Maddox moored in the Gulf. Immediately, a resolution was passed to officially engage in war. President LB Johnson, the ‘heart of the war,’ sent 500,000 US troops to South Vietnam in 1965 to fight against North Vietnam in the north and the Viet Cong in the south. He called it Operation Rolling Thunder. The campaign would rain 864,000 tons of bombs on North Vietnam over the next three-and-a-half years, killing 52,000 North Vietnamese.

In the 2003 #documentary - #TheFogOfWar - the #USgovernment admitted that they had fabricated the Gulf of Tonkin incident.

If you haven't seen the #JohnPilger #documentaries about #Cambodia & how the #USgovernment is why #PolPot #KhmerRouge gained & retained power - please watch them.
It's important #geopolitical #history.
It was one of the worst #genocide atrocities in modern human history. Cambodians were #dehumanized like Vietnamese were. Both sovereign nations suffered many years of embargoes by US & their Western allies, along with Cold War pals back then - China. US was still angry & bitter about losing their imperialist invasion in Vietnam & they opted to punish Cambodia, Vietnam & Laos - they are really sore losers.

As you watch these #documentary films - please try to pay attention to how US officials haven't really changed their scripts in decades. They use similar lies/political deflective/avoidance verbal dances to this day. In 2024, they're talking about Arabs like they used to talk about Cambodians, Vietnamese & Laotians - like none of us are human beings. It's just collateral damage when a million or more POC folks, far from Western worlds, are mass murdered for political power games.

Alexander Smith, a #contractor for the #USAID said he was given a choice between #resignation & #dismissal after preparing a presentation on maternal & child #mortality among Palestinians, which was cancelled at the last minute by USAID leadership last week.

There's this weird lie that the USA tells itself, that they aren't some propagandized people like those poor North Koreans. And then I see everyone in a bbq restaurant stop what they are doing and stand at attention for a TV showing the flag and playing the anthem. It's so scary weird. #propaganda #usalies #brainwashed
