  37.  @slome815  I don't blame North Vietnam from fighting the French; that was their independence movement. I do blame them for starting their war of conquest for the south -I don't have any hypocritical beliefs in this. "Vietnam was split in two by foreign powers" The peace that split the two countries was formed by the Geneva Conference; South Vietnam was formed by anti-communist Vietnamese with the support of the French and North Vietnam was formed by Ho Chih Minh with the aid of the Soviets and Chinese -both of these countries had foreign backers. Idk where you're getting this story of "foreigners came and split the country" when the truth is that Vietnamese split the country due to ideology and foreigners backed whomever was more aligned with theirs. The war against the French was their war for independence, the war against South Vietnam was a war of conquest. Mind you, the South Vietnam was hardly a democracy so it can't ever be claimed to be representative of the people -but still there's no question that North Vietnam chose war and the bloodshed of the accompanying "Vietnam War" lies on their feet just as Nazi Germany's sparking of WW2 places the bodies of its war on its feet. The US backs whomever is against their current enemy. Everyone does it. Hell, Vietnam did it in Cambodia and partially caused the Khmer Rouge to get into power. And to be blunt, the US has not actually been in too many wars; it has been in 3 wars during the Cold War and 2 wars afterwards -3 if you count Yugoslavia.
