There Was No "Gulf of Tonkin". Period
“For all I know, our Navy was shooting at whales out there.” -LBJ
(Yes, they lie us into war, ALL THE TIME. Just ask Colin Powell)
We ended up losing 58,000 troops in Vietnam because no one in the White House had the guts to tell President Johnson in 1964 (or President Richard Nixon later) the war was a losing proposition.
"I am 65 and have lived a full life. I wonder how the bulk of the 58,000 Americans killed in action in Vietnam would have lived their lives had they been told the truth about those North Vietnamese PT boats.
One of the Navy pilots flying overhead that night was squadron commander James Stockdale, who later gained fame as a POW and then as Ross Perot’s vice presidential running mate. “I had the best seat in the house to watch that event,” Stockdale said years later.
“Our destroyers were just shooting at phantom targets — there were no PT boats. There was nothing there but black water and American firepower,” Stockdale added.
If Stockdale’s claim wasn’t damning enough, here’s what President Johnson said in 1965:
“For all I know, our Navy was shooting at whales out there.”
The Military Industrial Complex will claw to its profits and power no matter how many Ukrainians, Vietnamese, or Americans have to be sacrificed in its meatgrinder.
They own the propaganda machines and the ultimate weapons to create the fear needed to make tax payers huddle up and comply, gratefully and “patriotically”. They fund both sides of the conflict. Even when using obsolete equipment, it simply clears up inventory for a new trillion dollar funding cycle from anxious Senators, many of who have a hand in the cookie jar or represent States with large MIC economic exposure.
NO MATTER WHO DIES OR WHO LOSES, THEY ALWAYS WIN.
False flag “incidents”, enabling an occasional Oklahoma City, Operation Northwoods, or 9/11. It's all fair game and the cost of doing business.
Even a rogue President standing in their way can be “neutralized” without much ado.
How many times must we go down this road?
Will we EVER learn?
When?
And why the hell isn't Biden talking about missing US journalist Lira, last abducted by Ukrainian nazi-worshipping Azov stormtroopers?

February 16, 2016.
“That’s the day Donald Trump made a blood enemy of the largest and most powerful organization in human history, which would be the federal government,” Carlson said.
On that day, nearly nine months before the 2016 election, the Republican Party held a primary debate in South Carolina, during which then-candidate Trump said: “We should have never been in Iraq. We have destabilized the Middle East. They lied. They said there were weapons of mass destruction, there weren’t none, and they knew there were none.”

"..Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”
