the usg financed, directed and ultimately fought the losing war to maintain control of south vietnam. why? lbj said it was to save his belt buckle. perhaps it was to save his life, jfk talked of letting the vietnamese make their own decisions. he also insulted allen dulles, a man who made a brilliant career out of murder. either one might have caused his death. i continually remark that the usa is not a democracy. sometimes it is not even clear which elite group or individual is directing the nation. the advance of nato is imperialism through bribery, threats and coups. the next step would have been direct usa engagement in ukraine, but lately usg seems to realize this might be a bridge too far. biden does not seem to be smart enough to be in office. perhaps smart people prefer to pull his strings. whoever is running the nation should be aware that putin is in a win or die situation, and has no inhibitions about staying in power, whatever it takes.
