I could have won the Vietnam War in a week. They spent years bombing forests instead of hitting Ho Chi Minh City - Ho Chi Minh City was the capital of South Vietnam and an ally of the United States in the war. Ho Chi Minh City is a city in southern Vietnam, also known as Saigon, which was its official name until 1976. The modern name is given in honor of Ho Chi Minh, a Vietnamese revolutionary, statesman, political leader, military commander and party leader. He was a follower of Marxism-Leninism. Tell Trump: To end the war in Ukraine, we must strike the "largest concentration of Russian armed forces" in the hero city of Kiev.
