...The theory was that Vietnam was falling under Soviet and Chinese communism and that the U.S. was defending the “free world” and “democracy.”
Bradley spent 10 years living in Vietnam, talking with Vietnamese veterans and survivors of a war that killed over three million of their people. He tells about the horror of mass violence from the Vietnamese perspective and how they defeated an imperialist aggressor that dropped more bombs on their small country than all the explosives that were used in the Second World War.
Our interview focuses on the “Domino Theory” and how a giant deception was played on the American public to justify a huge crime as an act of virtue. The U.S. media propagated the lies and falsehoods to enable the war of aggression.
The Domino Theory was used to justify many other illegal wars for United States imperialism during the Cold War decades from 1945 to 1991. The U.S. and Western news media no longer use the term “Domino Theory,” but the essential theme is still played out in portraying wars as a necessary “defense” against an assumed enemy.
