@CB @CB @CB Didn't mention that, did you?

An incredible threat. A truly equivalent Nation Force ready for War.

They had to be crushed.

It's really too bad WE couldn't crush a bunch of Rice Farmers.

Que Johnny Cash.

Update: PS. This is funny to my thinking. The subtitles look to be in some eastern European language. Could it be RUSSIAN? What do I know? Heh!

to Vietnam's bid for independence at the end of WWII.

Declaration of Independence, Democratic Republic of Vietnam*
Ho Chi Minh (Hanoi, 2 September 1945).

(SEPTEMBER 2, 1945)

"All men are created equal. They are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness"
...
For these reasons, we, members of the Provisional Government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, solemnly declare to the world that Vietnam has the right to be a free and independent country and in fact it is so already. The entire Vietnamese people are determined to mobilise all their physical and mental strength, to sacrifice their lives and property in order to safeguard their independence and liberty
...

Unfortunately for the Vietnamese, the US would not tolerate a communist government in Indochina - "Better dead than Red". So they initiated a war of aggression, first covertly, then overtly, against the Vietnamese people and their leader Ho Chi Minh. This makes the US ultimately criminally responsible for all the horrors that followed

From the Nuremberg trials:

"War is essentially an evil thing. Its consequences are not confined to the belligerent states alone, but affect the whole world. To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole."

needs an asterisk and a footnote.

*This does not apply to the USA, the one exceptional nation.
