See Korean war of 1950-1953. The US feared a domino effect if it let vietnam become communist.

Operation Mockingbird establishing dominance over minds of Americans via news media (generation of 60 minutes viewers), and to keep the military industrial complex going with yet another war.

Communist slave-state imperialism.
The slave-state won.
The imperialists won.
Sixty thousand Americans and three million Vietnamese died and this was the outcome.

Drugs mainly and also positional control in the region.

The CIA was running arms to Vietnam (biggest business) and on the way back was importing heron back into the states.

War and drugs and further destabilization of the region.

It was the policy of the US after WW2 to stop the spread of international communism. It worked, more or less, in Korea, so when Vietnam started to go red, the US decided it could make Vietnam another Korea. Didn't quite pan out that way.

As long as the US military was in South Vietnam policing the area, the North Vietnamese could neither take nor hold any portion of the country. They were easy to kill, and we slaughtered about a million of them. We did not destroy all of North Vietnam, because we were told it was to be a police action and we were not at war with the North. After roughly a decade of keeping the North at bay for a nation of people that did not care enough to stop the NVA themselves, our citizens became tired of blowing all that money and those lives with no end in sight and no real goal. So the government was forced by public opinion to pull our soldiers out. We won every major engagement against the NVA while we were there, but so what; that’s pretty much what you’d expect, anyway. A treaty was signed that we would leave and the NVA would not invade the South. We left and the NVA immediately invaded the South. The South Vietnamese capitulated immediately and most of the people didn’t care to fight back. We evacuated those that had helped us while we were there because the NVA was torturing and killing the ones they caught immediately (of course, the ones we evac’d later blamed us for their country’s fall). America wasn’t “defeated” in any military sense. We kicked the shit out of them every time we fought them. We just left. It’s the equivalent of a beaten and broken man, lying on the sidewalk bleeding, and as his aggressor walks away satisfied, he moans, “Oh, running away, are you? I win!”

Blame jews, honestly.
