The US and Ukraine have finalized a ‘temporary ceasefire deal’ during the Jeddah talks, which were meant to be a kind of conciliatory round two chance for Ukraine to amend for Zelensky’s faux pas.
So did Viet Nam, right?
The regime the west is supporting in Ukraine is precisely in the position the south Vietnamese regime was.
And Murca fucked that up too.
It’s the same story every time. Eventually, the US realizes that the proxy war has become a sunk cost and leaves their proxy to hang.

The USA hasn’t won a single war since WW2.
@yogthos@lemmy.ml
Not even. The Soviets won that war for them, they came in late like the vultures they are to reap the rewards.

Cowardly bombing a country is not ‘fighting a war’
Even then, like the ukranians you mostly used a proxy, the Kurds and other local factions to do the fighting for you.
And in good american tradition you threw them under the bus later.deleted by creator
First of all how old were you when it happened?
I bet you got the sanitised, revisionist version, after some years plenty believed it had to do with WMD’s and never heard of the US warcrimes. (Same thing happened after decades of Hollywood fantasy movie propaganda when people in EU began to believe the US won the war and not the never mentioned Soviets)
I’m sure I know more about it or history in general you since we have better education than you Canadians and.
I’m sure with the many many SS Galicia warcriminals that moved there, and their offspring like Freeland whitewashing them I think you probably don’t know enough about your own country.deleted by creator

Sadly, you’re right about my country — most Canadians don’t know that many Ukrainian Banderaites immigrated to Canada during the Cold War. They had to be stringent anti-communists, so obviously that would be people from western Ukraine. And yes, just like our former Deputy PM, Chrystia Freeland. Her Grandfather was an official Nazi. I’ve heard that Alberta has some statues glorifying Bandera, possibly in Sask and Manitoba too, where there are other pockets of Ukrainian diaspora. It appears that some Canadians on Lemmy are followers of this ideology, judging by many of their comments, like the fool you’re responding to. Probably why the western provinces of Canada <ie> Alberta always vote hard right.

The US was a minor player in WW2 as well to be fair.
@yogthos@lemmy.ml
Indeed, it was Russia that enabled the other allies to land on D-Day. The eastern front occupied the best German troops. One would never know this if reading Anglo-Saxon history, though. Sad.

You mean Vietnam? Why are you mentioning it?
Murca fucked it up. Same story.
