In a series of remarks, President Joe Biden expressed his hope that his legacy would be defined by his commitment to keeping his word, particularly in terms of reducing the likelihood of war, which he linked to his motivations stemming from the Vietnam conflict. "I hope, I hope the legacy is that I kept my word," Biden said, emphasizing that his presidential run was aimed at changing the lives of ordinary people and minimizing the prospects of war, a stance he directly associated with the historical context of Vietnam. These comments have sparked discussions and interpretations, with some pointing out Biden's use of Vietnam as a reference point for his broader foreign policy goals and others highlighting the historical inaccuracy of linking his presidency to Vietnam-related war prospects.

The Biden admin wants us to believe that one of the deadliest, most destructive, asymmetric wars in recent history—where one side is a nuclear-armed occupying state & the other is an occupied people with no state—isn’t genocidal. Destroying a whole society is just self-defense.
