he inherits this policy on south vietnam or vietnam.i want to talk about continuities and structures is but one thing that's frustrating at least from my perspective today, is that kennedy, the candidate, had a different or more subtle view of wars of national liberation or national liberation movements. post-world war two than, say, eisenhower. right. he had some respect for people's attempts to establish independence from colonialism. he even was in vietnam in the 1950s, where he kind of concluded was not a war for us to fight. john f kennedy like other senators and even, you know, members of the eisenhower administration, realized that colonialism was a losing proposition. all the empires were being broken up and the post-world war two environment, everybody wanted independence and we recognized that south vietnam needed independence in order for the people to rally against the communists. but at the same time, south vietnam never really had independence because it was utterly dependent on american aid for its survival. we paid for m

called a leopard spot arrangement in south vietnam. where, where they control part of the territory and the south vietnamese government. the other part we could have ended that war by them, by the middle of 1970, if it hadn't been for the, the cambodian crew and any invasion. when you have 550000 troops involved and you have already lost 35000, you can trust it. and it's all like a television said and said, we don't care about the people who it rely ends on. i would have cast if they'd uh, with us and just technically how to get 500000 people out of a country. if you would think of the problems, people have no evacuating a few 100 people. so be to the system and they could retreat and strength name. the people that we had supported was a necessary cause and effect. and i think there was no answer because the americans pictured the whole ending in trial . instead, they were dependent on the goodwill of their enemies and kissed interest to go. she had to encounter pots later, tow superpower with humiliation. she said you have to give his

with 250,000 south vietnamese, lost their lives. north vietnam rising cause was to prevent foreign occupation, and i assure you, independent integrity. and over 450,000 north vietnamese soldiers died in the fight for that cause. today, what can we say with such these great losses? why do communist states around the world have already fallen? vietnam still remained a communist state. north vietnam primary objective of preventing foreign occupation has now turned vietnam into a chinese vassal state. vietnam today still has neither freedom nor democracy. what has transpired in the 41 years since the war ended does not change. the gratitude we have for the brave men and women of the vietnam war as we honor them today. i mentioned these facts because properly honor those heroes. we must examine what their sacrifice means to us today and how much the costs of for which they die still remain to be achieve. one day when vietnam is no longer under the communist control and is once the land of freedom and democracy, the vietnam war will no longer be a remi

could win, i will say more, they successfully carried out land reform, the population of south vietnamt northern vietnam, having understood where this was going, a blow, just a direct intervention, i completely agree with you, you know what unites ukraine and. what unites them is not only their dependence on foreign, in this case american, assistance, but also on their model of war, they did not fight as an army of a liberating country, as north vietnam fought, they fought as the americans fight, air superiority, colossal superiority in heavy artillery, that means... simply because the ukrainians are running out, it’s no longer a secret to anyone, not to themselves ukrainians, nor for eastern observers , us in the east of ukraine is not for western observers, about the fact that the male population is hiding from mobilization, yes, that they are grabbing people, trying with various kinds, promises, often deceptive, to attract foreign mercenaries, recently there was a remarkable investigation, in new york times about how colombians who are being laid off as part of the reduction of the

the agreements that they had made as would they have promised lots of meditative assistance to south vietnam, which never showed up and south you had them collapsed. we had to scroll down to more recent cases. the codes discourses into syria, and they, they, they fault with the american side of the isis. and then the americans in 2019 said that, uh, they will withdraw from the north of syria. which they did done that the n 13 attacked um and continues to attack uh the guards there. i've gotten stuck. don't forget to send up saying which was being used by the americans or even to bid the been loved and which was used by the americans who. busy in the war of, of, of, of gun you stand against the, then soviet union, what happened to him? we'll, we all know. and then we have for many other people. that'd be, for example, the, uh, the greek dictatorship, greek to dictate or simply supported by data. and then the, they even told the, the they even don't the, the greek dictators to try to over to throw but values which read through the 3rd case should vision all of cyprus. and the americans get dus

there are many historical examples, for example, south vietnam, in the war with north vietnam, in which the united states, because time is extremely important here, you need to talk to the republicans, we need to talk to the european commission about 50 billion. because if we don’t get it. the art of war is very difficult to deceive and the ratio of the strength of means relative to an offensive without air superiority without normal support. raskovievka, february 24 - berkhovka , february 25 - yagodnaya, march 8 - the eastern part of bakhmud, artyomovskaya, ninth - dubovo-vasilevka, 15 - zaleznyanskaya, april 2 - the russian flag in the center of artyomovsk, may 20 bakhmud, and after that we continued, it was only after that they continued, it was only one direction, well, let me remind you about marinka , i’ll remind you about many, well, well, well, well, tell me. anything is possible. vladimir vladimirovich, you also say that, vladimirovich, but we don’t know how to do that, you see, we speak, we speak the truth, and we see at a glance, of course, here, at the same time, you know, i

of vows to on use the same level of devastation back as it was in the south side of red cross, south vietnam over to scan to find them. we can turn away from what is evident, a more saying there in the face of the international community with united states is the most powerful country on earth. but that power comes at a price on this $1.00 home breast seems increasingly uneasy about paying on the call.

keep the economy out of south vietnam because, you know, because it's in other words, it doesn't meet the psychological test. it's just not gratifying to get onto an everlasting holding action. right. it doesn't seem like there's an end goal in sight. it feels like. yeah, the soldiers fighting a war that seems unwinnable, essentially. right. and of course, the incentives of the americans of each particular american in vietnam are far lower than the incentives of each, particularly vietnamese person, especially who believed in the rightness of expelling the imperialist powers. exactly. that's right. so. so kissinger realizes the consensus, which has held us together up to this isn't really good enough. we've got to start thinking about a new way of going about it. hey, joe, let's jump on to you now. what balanced discussion to strike between morality and power considerations? yeah. so kissinger presents himself with his own subordinates as pretty ethical. this was when most evidence, when he refused to people that were promised physician aids in the government and he like that created

of vows to on use the same level of devastation back as it was in the south side of red cross, south vietnam. over the scan of the item, we can turn away from what is evident. i'm was saying there in the face of the international community with united states is the most powerful country on earth. but the power comes at a price on it as $1.00 congress seems increasingly uneasy about paying on the cost $28.00 profile. the u, as in climate conference is mart in control. the same as what's the nations to mom, the global south comp that remission while failing to winning the spelling. so the bring you the towards that others might not. this is all the international. it's great to have you with us. welcome to the program. what we all starts with the latest from something called so what the city of hon. unice has once again come on to heavy bombardment by his way the forces the the. 2 local thoughts and it's hard to say the most recent defense, they've included raids across the city. it comes as hospitals already outbreaks and points with a huge influx of patients. so far more than $15000.00 is hav

so the cycle and south vietnam in april 1975 inches piece of equipment was moved. the north vietnamese top cycling americans and south vietnamese us frantically just the city. the the chest of drawers for the cartridge and remains to this day were conscious of the effect that every time the united states pulls out of the country, leaving under finished foreign policy commit behind. it makes it more difficult to next to get some country to commit itself to a joint venture with the united states. the cost of chain, which included ford's cheapest off donald rumsfeld, was on high list use down to viet nam, suggested impending chaos. the officials to base interest to us should respond with bones of better to withdrawal account to our tech talk to him and i should just say he's going to pop. we have to do some shit at all. you'll have to talk to the present. there were some tensions between henry and forge not present for himself, but his people the default as to all this effort. to least we could do the south destination with all the infections, was not to cut off. hey,

ones that violated the neutrality and using it to funnel troops and weapons into the car against south vietnamso there were strong military arguments for attacking the north vietnamese bases in certain parts of cambodia that were crucial to their war effort. this didn't really particularly emanate from kissinger, it came from the department of defense and it came from the u.s. military in vietnam. and richard nixon was president, not henry kissinger, when those decisions were taken. so the second point i would make, is most of the critics don't have the faintest understanding of the conflict in indo china and in particular of the malignant rule that north vietnam played in violating neutrality of cambodia and also of laos. >> what about bangladesh. kissinger wholeheartedly backed pakistan and hundreds of thousands were killed. and again, unsuccessful, because east pakistan becomes bangladesh, and attempt by pakistan, west pakistan to continue to control it didn't work. and yet, you know, you have this moral abomination on your hands. what do you make of this? >> well, gary bass has an excellen

allies in south vietnam. >> the withdraw from vietnam was an american tragedy. >> kissinger never expressedtnam or any decision. in 2003, he told jim lehrer, the priority was to put the amount aside so we could focus elsewhere. >> all you could try to do is preserve a minimum of dignity and save as many lives as you could. >> kissinger's peace efforts extended to the middle east. in october 1973, egypt and syria attacked israel on yom kippur. kissinger held so many meetings, he helped create the term subtle diplomacy. it led to is really egypt negotiations and edge the soviet union out of the middle east. >> [speaking another language] >> kissinger's concern over communism peaked in chile. the u.s. helped the military overthrow the democratically elected socialist government and installed a general. his military dictatorship caused the death, disappearance, and torture of more than 40,000 chileans. but kissinger's priority was preventing communist dominoes from falling, as he choose elizabeth far more than thousand one. >> human rights are not an international issue at the time the way they

to prevent the vietnamese from going into southern laos and to fight against the americans in south vietnamconflict is so central to the hmong story that an expansive mural of a secret cia airbase in laos covers a wall of the hmong village market in st. paul. >> it's a place where my father and his brother joined up, their missions were launched out of this area. reporter: the conflict killed an estimated 30,000 to 40,000 hmong soldiers, about a quarter of all boys and men. tens of thousands of civilians also died during the war and after the american forces withdrew. >> after the united states pulled out in 1975, the vietnamese came after us, so we fled to thailand. >> this person's father led a group across a river to safety in thailand. in 1984, they were born in a refugee camp. many immigrated to minnesota thanks to church groups. >> learning how to cook in a hmong household is not an option. you are going to learn to cook. reporter: but he says as a child he was not necessarily proud of his heritage. >> i was ashamed that my parents could not come to school for career day because my pa

about 60 years ago there was a president of south vietnam, his last name is dem, and he was also on thee, lyndon johnson called him churchillemia. well, a performance at christmas cooperatives, as you accurately noted, doesn't it pay well? of course, but this is paid to him, and to the country, he will return , he already, you know, that is , there is no money in the budget of ukraine, there is a huge hole in the twenty -fourth year, now they are already declaring his servants of the people that they migrants are cutting back, but from the east , which is in ukraine, they are reducing payments for them, they are already establishing some criteria for them in order to deprive people of payments, they will beat social services, that is, split them up, pensions will delay everything else, more promising , by the way, biden also, his relationship with miles is very specific, he never met him even once, salina met him instead, why is he against abortion, he is against abortion, he is a conservative such a terry comrade, that is, it’s as if he would never hold his hand he will shake directly,

that's where you got north and south vietnam, the partition of that country. and demilitarized zone. but again, if you don't get the big ideas right, all the rest of that stuff doesn't much matter. andrew if i can ask you from a historian's point, you know, you've you've research commanders, you've researched king's prime ministers and emperors but if we can bring the into the present day, of course the one conflict that your book doesn't cover is a recent conflict in in israel, gaza. from a historians point of view, what lessons would you draw from the way you analyzed all types of these conflicts in your book? what lessons can you take away so immediately, if you can, this conflict? well, you know, david and i discussed that question just the other day because we couldn't see in our book any historical parallel and for the field difficult job that has to face the moment. yes, you can look. at the yom kippur war, which to an extent for a few days at least in that october of 1973, did look as though it might become existential for his world, but otherwise ther

in world war two where he had seen how corrupt the regime of shang kai shek was that he saw in south vietnamething very similar and he realized very quickly how corrupt the south vietnamese government was. and that radical, he eventually became radicalized by the us involvement in the war. and he, he began to see that the united states was on the path of becoming a militaristic empire. and he thought that the intelligence community was part of that. >> senator hart. you knew senator church personally? oh, sorry. uh senator hart, you knew senator church personally. what was he like? and what is your fondest memory of senator church? >> well, um yeah, we became very good friends out of that experience and a lot of democratic caucuses over the years. and when i became a national candidate in the eighties, he and -- went out of their way to um, encourage me and support me in their own way. and he was ailing at that time. but, if i may, i'd like to answer a question. you haven't asked. the first of many phone conversations that james risen. and i had, he called and said, i'm gonna write a book ab

the state duma responds to this by expanding cooperation with the countries of the global south and east, vietnamb world, parliamentarians and others. state duma with the countries of africa and latin america. this is a foundation for the future. we work with key countries in the region. for 30 years, the state duma has come a long way, together with the country, i experienced periods of chaos, crises of victory, and me. old people, they hand over their taxes, collect , and the duma distributes so that there is enough for everyone , taking into account the north, the far east, the little ones, the older ones, our climatic conditions, that was the meaning of the work, but today for russia, for all citizens of our country, there is a unique opportunity , but making those independent decisions that will predetermine the successful horizon of the future, and i know for sure that... parliament has a huge responsibility to society to ensure that strategic decisions that determine the future of the country were in the interests of citizens. colleagues, together we will win, in a different way. russia mu

has been a way to internationalize the palestinian cause and find intersectionality with south africa with vietnamcolonialist powers that want to divide us, and that want to take over our resources and land, and so i would advise that you look into some of these artworks. you are all the paintbrushes that are going to paint the vision of a free palestine. artists have magic because they are. able to visualize the impossible, and what we are doing here today is working towards visualizing freedom for people around the world, as nelson mandela visualized a free south africa, so i would love to present this painting uh, just a small painting to honor nelson mandela and his vision and the way that he was able to visualize freedom. ساره من مؤسسه صامدون تفضلي thank you very much. and thank you so much to the global campaign to return to palestine and the royal house of mandela for organizing this important international gathering that brings people together, particularly at this critical time when the zionist regime is attempting genocide in gaza, and though their genocide is continuing a daily basis, w

it will be very tough route or path way, we, but we know from different countries in algeria, vietnam, south africa, people have sacrifice lot for their feet, this is the only way, we we don't have any other options, by the way, we have used or we have tried the... other options we have signed agreement in 1993 and since 1993 until today what we have got is more disastrous conditions, more settlements, more taking control of alaxamos, gaza is beseed, palestinians are divided, the land is stolen, water is stolen, the daily arrest, people are killed on check points an hour bases, this is the result of the so called peace process for. after 30 years, we have tried the other way, but has failed because this incubation, in particular this, the israeli ecubation, we cannot understand any other language than resistance, especially this government, this very extreme radical, right-wing government, the they declared publicly we cannot accept any palestinians when between the river and the sea, they have to to search for another place, they have put them self as the super masses dus and others are mon
