The article reflects on the 50th anniversary of Saigon's fall, drawing parallels between the Vietnam War and Ukraine's current situation against Russia. It emphasizes the risks faced by allies like Ukraine without strong military guarantees in peace negotiations, echoing concerns that concessions to Putin could lead to further aggression. It questions the adequacy of American support in altering the course of Ukraine's fight and how history should inform contemporary foreign policy decisions, especially regarding security assurances for Ukraine.
The grim anniversary is a reminder that those we support to the utmost can lose, as President Donald Trump works to prevent Kyiv from suffering a fate like Saigon's.
If peace doesn't include a military security guarantee... what will prevent it from turning out like the Paris Peace Accords that were supposed to have ended the Vietnam War in 1973?
