What is it about Vietnam that make them want to colonize it so bad? When I think of Cuba it was cash crops and mafia shit, right? I believe there was an undercurrent of disgust for having a socialist regime so close to America. Is Vietnam pure Bug's Life posting where they just don't want to see resistance?
Domino theory and French chauvinism. Cuba was nominally independent long before the revolution. Vietnam was still a French colony before WW2, and France wanted it back.
Literally yes, they called it the "Domino Effect"
And they got their ass beat, yet no communist India sadly
it was kinda one big colonial project that the colonists tag teamed on
France was colonizing it, got kicked out and defeated, so America took up their mantle on their behalf
Dom't forget the british interregnum
