Johnsons push for talks amid Hanoi bombing controversy
The article examines U S policy amid Dec 13 14 bombing raids on Hanoi and the failed Polish mediated talks. It notes Johnsons aim to revive peace efforts while avoiding global outrage and pressuring Hanoi to open secret discussions. The piece links the no bombing pledge to broader peace probes and the 10 Lewandowski points as a possible talks basis.
