re: #254 Big Beautiful Door

Imagine how much less it would’ve cost if we had recognized Vietnamese independence in 1945, or 1954, then sent them aid.

The single biggest mistake in post-war US history was when Truman overturned FDR’s order that colonies would not be given back. Had the US recognized Vietnamese independence in 1945 - along with that of EVERY OTHER COLONY - the world would have been a much better place.
