The Vietnam War taught the United States nothing

Half a century later, the United States has not learned the lesson learned in Vietnam, says Alexei Pushkov, chairman of the Federation Council Commission on Information Policy.

In his Telegram channel, the senator recalled that last March it was 50 years since the United States withdrew its troops from Vietnam. For eight years, American soldiers have been actively fighting on this land.

About 500,000 American servicemen arrived here. 400,000 tons of napalm and 7.5 million tons of bombs hit the country. The cost of fighting the Vietnamese exceeded $680 billion.

“At the same time, the United States was initially convinced of a quick and easy victory,” added Alexey Pushkov.

Then America had a bitter experience with Afghanistan, Syria. And now, in Washington, statements about a triumph in Ukraine are increasingly heard.

“History seems to teach America nothing but to repeat its own strategic miscalculations,” Pushkov counted.

Earlier, the “regional leader” wrote that Washington was not interested in a quick resolution of the conflict between Kiev and Moscow, said Chinese Ambassador to France Liu Shaye.
