But Nixon went to China in 1973 so Pol Pot's independent spirit earned him no allies in Washington. |

Date: May 4th, 2025 9:57 PM Author: electric coldplay fan office Yes but the calculus was made that the American public did not want to see any news about Vietnam at all. Hollywood wouldn't touch it until at least a of decade after we pulled out. The only exceptions were Coming Home and The Deer Hunter, both of which focused on events that happened in America after the war, and Apocalypse Now, which doesn't even attempt to be realistic. And even that was considered "edgy" at the time.
There was no other argument ever raised against it. On the one side Holbrooke was saying "we should repair relations right now" for 20 years on repeat, and on the other side you just had desire to avoid controversy. It didn't even matter who the president was because Brzenzinski was there the whole time cockblocking Holbrooke. That should be a movie plot: 20 years of senseless starvation caused by an embargo that accomplished nothing. |

Much better use of our time to continue to exacerbate the Sino-Soviet split and strengthen our alliance with China against the Sovs (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5720470&forum_id=2#48904369) |
