Now remember how he was installed. By the US.
You claim he was "installed," yet clearly not acting in the US's interest.
I got to right... there. And I stopped. He just wasn't the right guy for the job so they killed him and installed someone else.Ky, who last I new lived in SoCal, got death threats all the time and didn't understand why... As his ex-ARVN thugs were doing military-style home invasion robberies in the SF Bay area whose victims wouldn't talk to the police, who couldn't protect them and they knew it...
Of COURSE he was acting in a manner more suitable to the US. The option was... Horrors! Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh, and the *Terror* of SE Asian Com Com Communism!
Uncle Ho approached the U.S. for assistance in ousting the French, who were literally starving the Vietnamese. He was essentially told to go fuck himself.
He was attempting to play on old loyalties from his concerted efforts to drive the Japanese out of the peninsula during WWII. He quickly found out Western White people don't 'do' loyalty. I doubt he seriously thought the US would help with the French and A Nazi infested French Foreign Legion. Just like Gladio. A Nazi-infested NATO secret army. Rr So he went and found other playmates. The rest, as
they say, is history - because we are supposed to kind of sort of know about the rest.
I forget the details of how the "temporary" partition of Vietnam became "permanent", but that's included in Overthrow: America's Century Of Regime Change, by Stephen Kinzer. Pretty good book, very factual up until about the Regan Administration where he starts reporting propaganda lies as straight fact; it goes downhill from there. There's this little thing about how, for instance, the Bush clan tends to kill authors who blacken the family name. At minimum, factual reporting on the actions of presently living war criminals would put a serious kink in one's professional prospects.
