Sort of like we should have supported Ho over the French in 1945, instead of handing them their colony back.
Ho had been a Comintern agent for the Soviets for years. He was not some guy who only went Communist after being refused by the US.
We didn’t just oppose Ho, we convinced France that they should fight to keep Indochina (when they knew they hadn’t the will or the money to do so). We armed them (including loaning them an aircraft carrier), dressed them like GIs (including US helmets), then abandoned them while they awaited US air support at Dien Bien Phu (which had been visited by US advisors while the French set the stage for the battle).
We lost the Indochina War for the French; it was a proxy war of ours to “contain communism”.
