Vietnam II?

Well, the US government (the Congress of the United States) threw away the US Serviceman's win in Vietnam by refusing to resupply the South Vietnamese military with ammunition, weapons and fuel.

So yes, it looks similar.

Most of them signaled it by kissing his beltbuckle.

The increased levels of support have raised morale on both sides of the conflict, broadening war aims and hardening political positions, making a diplomatic settlement all the more unlikely. GTH

More like Spain II. Syria and Spain — both five letter words starting with S. Satan a five letter word starting with S.

Thanks. My first sentence should have been, “Wake up call TO the NYT.”

They are as late to the game as they always are and only dance at the edge of truth when it suits their purpose.

So this is (again) the US and Russia live testing weapons against each other with Syrians as the fodder. A war that isn’t a war. Even if there is a few “accidents” where some Russians and/or Americans get killed. It’s better than millions dying in a real war.

Done this before.
