45:35 These particular individuals are *ideologically* responsible for crimes against humanity during the Vietnam War, the result of applying Merchant-class accounting principles to matters of warfare. They measured military success in terms of the number of enemy killed, to achieve victory within a certain timeframe, and minimise the resources consumed. This was *supposed* to avoid the repercussions of a long drawn-out conflict, and thereby secure their own political futures. But as with *any ideology that is fundamentally corrupt the end result is always the extreme opposite of that intended* - millions of civilian deaths, a long drawn-out conflict, and then ultimately losing that war. As outlined in this scene, the only other history they achieved was *(perhaps unintentionally)* establishing the basis for transferring millions of jobs, from - countries with a certain degree of labour freedom, to - a Country where labour is completely controlled by the government. Because their Working-class had already been *somewhat* uplifted through that labour freedom - it is *ironic* that these countries have *damaged* that Working-class in order to increase Merchant profits. By allowing their jobs to be transferred to a Country whose mass-murdering anti-spiritual ideology has also killed millions - *supposedly* to uplift the Working-class, but *ultimately* to just increase those profits. Which is also the *extreme opposite* of the result intended. But such ideological failures *does not* mean all who fought in these conflicts are automatically guilty of crimes and deserve contempt. Because they may *actually* have fought in a dignified way under the extreme circumstances of warfare - kzread.info/dash/bejne/oopo26OlpauydZs.html. Even if they did not and are guilty of crimes the only acceptable response for them is *Compassion.* Either for the suffering they are *already* experiencing as a result of that, or the suffering they will *have* to experience in subsequent lives if they fail to achieve a Genuine Spiritual Transformation. So too for those whose corrupted ideas result in these crimes being committed. Especially if they do not understand the *terrible* consequences of their evil ways. The Vietnam War is yet another conflict rooted in the divisive policies of the corrupt foreigners who occupied that land some 20 years earlier. That was the vesting of military-political power in a religious-minority government that subsequently persecuted the majority. Which particular religions is irrelevant because history proves you’ll find the best of the best and the worst of the worst in any of them. What is relevant is the presence of corrupted beings on either side of these conflicts, with the harmless People caught in the middle, suffering at the hands of either or both. *This is why you should never be allied with corrupt forces to battle against other corrupt forces.* You should find another way to achieve your goals. Ultimately, the only way to win ideological wars is to avoid using extreme destructive force that will harm the harmless *or* impede their lives in a way that feeds that ideology. Because that will increase the power of its military-political base to recruit new fighters. For example, if that ideology is religious extremism their places of worship should not be bombed, if it is uplifting the Working-class their crops should not be destroyed. Instead their military power should be *accurately* reduced to zero all the way up to their political leadership. Whilst removing the ideological basis for them fighting by protecting those places of worship, helping improve crop-yields etc. Also, it is critically important to avoid engaging in any action that may *combine opposing identity factors,* which has the potential to expand a conflict to no end. For example - if an individual will fight for an ideology that supposedly uplifts their social-class, care must be taken not to attack their religion also because that gives them another reason to fight. Realising that, their military-political base will successfully expand their method of recruiting others to fight for their ideology on the basis of religion also, *even if* that ideology is fundamentally anti-spiritual. Other major identity factors include ethnicity & nationality. All of the above was far easier to manage in ancient times when it was just armies and their ideological leaders meeting on open battlefields.

It is infinitesimally more simple than that.. The reason the Vietnam War strategy was carried out the way it was, was simply in direct result of the aftermath of the Korean War years prior. The American people and those in government did not wanted to endure the prospects of another Chinese invasion and ultimate conflict escalation. It is for that very reason that the they used the (understandably very flawed in hindsight) approach of not moving North of the 17th parallel, and instead fought a protracted defensive ground-war and offensive air-war, in which incursions of the NVA past the southern-point of the 17th parallel and NLF/Vietcong infiltration of the South were to be fought within specified bounds. Which of course, ultimately failed because fighting a war where one belligerent is denied the capability of pursuing its enemy is a failing strategy. But the reasoning for it really is that simple. The American people would not accept an escalation akin to the war in Korea so the US fought with one hand tied behind its back.

British embassy staff was even beaten and killed.

Fun Fact: Among the half a million Chinese killed in the Korean War was Mao's eldest son: An-ying. He was 28 and served as a Russian translator for the Chinese general Peng De-huai, but got killed in a bombing raid in November 1950 - just a month after he joined in the war. Mao's reaction was one of... carelessness. A year before, An-ying got married to a beautiful woman and this made Mao furiously jealous for he was sexually attracted to her. So when his death came, Mao used it as an opportunity to be with the lady as much as possible, comforting her as though she was his wife, but he held the truth from her about her husband. Mao even coldly went as far as joking that An-ying was still alive. It was until after the war, 2 and a half years later, that she learned the truth.

I like how most media at that time shamelessly presented facts : “the gate to friendly contact” - I see the hand of advisers behind literally handing a script. Not a conspiracy theorist myself but there was no friendship between China and US at that time. Only 2 rivals teaming up against the USSR .. Soviet Media were even worst of course. And although I find today’s media mostly pathetic, at the very least we can hear different opinion with indie ones. We just have to find them and make them live.

I call it the great backwards flip instead

Khrushchev’s timely decision after Stalin’s death to Destalinize The old USSR from Stalins influence even after his passing was the true turning point in Sino-Soviet relations years later imo. In Mao’s view this action by Khrushchev weakened Communist world unity and solidarity and It’s likely that Mao feared/respected Khrushchev less than he did Stalin and gradually thought less of him with the succeeding years. In addition, Mao quite possibly hinted that the Soviets wanted to control China they way they controlled Eastern European members of Warsaw pact and refused to partake in aiding to strengthen Soviet Geopolitics at the time and went in another direction which years later led to the opening of U.S.-Chinese relations with Kissinger and Nixon.
