What do you think about " !Chomsky's view in #1968: US policy (in the #Vietnam War (1956-1975)) was to destroy the #nationalist movements in the South Vietnamese #peasantry (rather than to defend South Vietnam from North Vietnamese aggression). He holds that the former was accomplished rather successfully even if at the expense of the latter." ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Power_and_the_New_Mandarins cc @question
