Moscow’s Red Propaganda Ships Up The Viet Nam War
The Soviet Union’s new propaganda push against the United States is used by global forces to argue for abandoning South Vietnam to communism. U S military leaders remain calm, viewing Kosygin’s 5 percent budget boost as rhetorical or a shift in weapon variety, not an intent to escalate.
