    I have done my homework. I know exactly why the USS Maddox was outside the territorial waters of North Vietnam.

    They even timed it to match Israeli reports of losses!

    Were you there?
    If not, then what evidence do you have that it was on a luxury cruise?

    That's your issue if you don't know why it was there.
    But were you there?

    You made the claim that it was in North Vietnam's territorial waters to attack North Vietnam. That is false. If you have information to substantiate that the USS Maddox was in North Vietnam's territorial waters and had orders to attack North Vietnam then let's see that evidence.

    Obviously it was there as part of the continual US attack during the American war against Vietnam, first to support the continuation of French colonialism after WW2, and then to support a corrupt police state controlled by a small elite in Saigon. And therefore it was a legitimate war target.

    There was no war in 1964.

    Total nonsense. The US was continually involved in the war against Vietnam and the Vietnamese after WW2 and the French Colonialists tried to regain control of their colonies.
    Since you know nothing about history, perhaps you should read "Embers of War" by Frederik Logevall.
    And you should read about Vice President Ky and his views about the American War against Vietnam and the Vietnamese, and how he returned and lived in Vietnam after his exile when Vietnam was reunited. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nguyễn_Cao_Kỳ

    No they weren’t.

    You know nothing at all about history and just keep repeating that false US propaganda.

    FYI Ky knew infinitely more than you know about the American War against Vietnam and the Vietnamese since he was the Vice President of South Vietnam when Vietnam was reunited in 1975, and his office was in the Presidential Palace in Saigon and he had a holiday villa in Vung Tau.

    He knew infinitely more than you do. Or are you claiming that he and President Thieu knew nothing at all about the America War against Vietnam, and were just puppets of the American Imperialists and their attempts to control South Vietnam.

    Why are you not capable of summarizing what Ky and the book "Embers of War" say about US involvement with South Vietnam against communist North Vietnam supported by the Soviet Union and Red China?

    If you're actually interested, why don't you do some homework since you obviously know absolutely nothing at all about the American War against Vietnam and the Vietnamese, and just keep repeating the same false US propaganda.

    And what is your evidence that Major General Ky amd General Thieu knew nothing about the American War against Vietnam and were just puppets of the American Imperialists?

    I have but it's now very obvious that you have not. Have you read the book you recommended? If so what are the top three points made about US involvement with South Vietnam against communist North Vietnam supported by the Soviet Union and Red China? What are the three main points that Ky makes about US involvement with South Vietnam against communist North Vietnam supported by the Soviet Union and Red China?

    Do your homework since you obviously know nothing at all about the American War against Vietnam, which was fully financed by the US after WW2.

    FYI Major General Ky said the war in Vietnam was "instigated by foreigners, it was brothers killing each other under the arrangements by foreign countries."

    And that's your issue if you don't believe what Vice President Ky said about the American War against Vietnam.

    You have nothing.
