America won the Cold War.

Why? How?

You Americans are clueless. No sense of irony.

You Americans fought in Vietnam and Korea.

Battles in a larger a war.

You ultimately won the Cold War.

But China and Vietnam are communist to this day.

Not really though.  They are a kind of autocratic, undemocratic, supersocialist hybrid.  Hunrun Global Rich List actually boasts 814 Chinese billionaires, the most in the world.  And Vietnam even has 5 or 6.

So it’s convenient to call them Communist when it helps the argument, but not when it loses the argument.

Maybe to some. Maybe it's okay to call him communist as a general description, but in most contexts... especially when you're talking economic... It's important to talk about details.

And I should say that your point is solid. China and Vietnam did not lose the cold War.

The cold war was effective in keeping the two strongest nations on the globe fearful of each other.  The Vietnam war accomplished nothing for the US except feed the Military Industrial Complex.

You're so woke.

I recall when feeding the MIC was a positive argument used to counter peaceniks.

 

A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

Vietnam war was a useless war resulted in many deaths most of them civilians and a sample of atrocities committed by an arrogant power, the US against a small nation. It also resulted in the deep recession of the late 70's and early 80's in the West lasting two decades.

Reagan was long after the VietNam war. And of course he won singlehandedly - the Russian and Eastern European people had absolutely nothing to do with it. Reagan was God Almighty Himself.

Know a good believable conspiracy theory? Gorbachev visited an arcade in the USA saw 8 year oids shooting thousands of saucers out of the sky in two minutes and knew the USA could commission Star Wars and Japan would build it cheap for them. Knew he'd lost right then.
When he got home to Moscow his mother beat him over the head with the half loaf of stale bread she'd lined up for all day. That settled it.

And he couldn't sleep either over the noise from his wife's Bulgarian diesel-electric vibrator.

Many thoughts about how you Americans won the Cold War - defeated the Soviets.

You did.

Be proud.
