Dennis Prager as an outstanding editorial on who really lost Việt Nam for the Vietnamese. He suggests the Communists did, and his rationale is correct.

But he takes his argument an interesting step further and compares how the American left was 180° wrong about the war: that pretty much everything they accused America of doing was actually being done by Ho Chi Minh and friends.

He does an excellent job of explaining the tragic irony there, and his shocking realization that what the unsubstantiated claims the communist propaganda machine farts out in Việt Nam even today is identical to what most American universities teach in their history classes…but that the belief is exactly backwards.

A sad but necessary read, if only for the very last sentence in his essay.

The Czar of Muscovy

Божію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.
