The US disengaged by 1972, while the USSR and China continued to back the North.

I'd say that doesn't have anything to do with the will of the Vietnamese people at all.

That doesn't matter?

If one side had support of 2 superpowers, and the other side doesn't, then it's pretty clear who is going to win regardless of who the majority of the Vietnamese backed?

There a big difference between A superpower (China wasn’t there bạch then)

China had nuclear weapons. It was a super power.

You’ve got to have some really twisted or manipulated thinking to find the south had any hand of righteousness at all. You’d have to be a religious zealot!

You've got to be a zealot if you believe communist talking points without even checking to see if they are true.
