Suuure.. Just like those boats in the Tonkin bay leading to the Vietnam war
This won't mean anything more than possible additional support for Ukraine, which the Biden administration (and the majority of Americans) want anyway.
The Vietnam War started long before that.
The French-Vietnamese part of the war did. The justification for heavy American involvement was the Gulf of Tonkin false flag.
That was when the war went public, but the US was pretty involved prior to it.
Okay, but not with massive amounts of troops on the ground doing frontline fighting. The justification for that came from Tonkin.
That was the public war, yes.
If you have a source for there being a large-scale frontline american involvement, or anything beyond advisors or the air force before Tonkin, then I'm all ears.
There wasn't a large scale, it was just secret operations.
Okay... but that's not the start of the American Vietnam War. That was America covertly aiding the French in their war.
