Ho Chi Minh appealed to the United States' supposed values of freedom and self-determination when he basically straight up asked for the Americans' help liberating Vietnam from the French.

One of the most disturbing truths of the internet age is that we could have already had a utopia on Earth by now. It's so easy to look back at the past and see how much better it could have gone if just a few tiny things had gone different.
But those inventions are still waiting to be discovered, and the social progress can still be had. Whenever we start building utopia, in hindsight it will look like we started at our darkest hour.
Yep, Vietnam is another I wish we'd just chosen to be friends with
