20230817 Cong Dong Tham Luan Chuyen Di Dem P30c

Cuộc đàm phán giửa Kissinger và phái đoàn ngoại giao Việt-Nam Cộng-Hòa (lưu ý: phái đoàn không cần thông dịch viên) vẩn quanh quẩn trong việc Hoa Kỳ buộc Việt-Nam Cộng-Hòa phải chấp thuận sự thương lượng giửa Hoa Kỳ và cộng sản giặc Hồ.

Trong trường hợp Việt-Nam Cộng-Hòa không khoan nhượng Hoa Kỳ sẽ không thực thi những lời hứa có phản ứng mạnh với cộng sản giặc Hồ khi họ vi phạm thỏa thuận và miền Nam tự bảo vệ lấy.

“Kissinger: if Saigon is the only roadblock for reaching agreement on this basis they will personally lead the fight when the new Congress reconvenes on January 3 to cut off all military and economic assistance to Saigon. My evaluation is that the date of the cut-off would be February 1. They further believe that under such circumstances we have no choice but to go it alone and to make a separate deal with North Vietnam for the return of our POWs and for our withdrawal.” …

“You must tell Thieu that I feel we have now reached the crossroads. Whether [Either] he trusts me and signs what I have determined is the best agreement we can get or we have to go it alone and end our own involvement in the war on the best terms we can get. ….

…. “Nixon: “Tell Thieu that I cannot keep the lid on his strong supporters in the House and Senate much longer. They are terribly disturbed by what they read and hear out of Saigon. It is time for us to decide to go forward together or to go our separate ways. If we go separate ways, all that we fought for, for so many years, will be lost. If, on the other hand, he will join us in going forward together on the course I have laid out we can, over the long pull, win a very significant victory.

“The third option of our trying to continue to go forward together on the basis of continuing the war is simply not open. The door has been slammed shut hard and fast by the longtime supporters of the hard line in Vietnam in the House and Senate who control the purse strings.”

strategic hamlets, a South Vietnamese Government program to counter Viet Cong control in the countryside. The government relocated farmers into fortified hamlets to provide defense, economic aid, and political assistance to residents. The hope was that protection from Viet Cong raids and taxation would bind the rural populace to the government and gain their loyalty. The program started in 1962, but was fatally undermined by over expansion and poor execution. By 1964 it had clearly failed.
