Wretchard, you have to remember that people like the Hmong and the Montagnards were hated and despised by the lowlanders in their countries. At best they were treated like 2ns class citizens, at worst they were hunted.
So it’s not just a Communist thing.
Be that as it may, we owe those people and should do whatever we can to help them.
I think Vietnam has most favored nation status for their exports to the US.
There are lots of ways the US could pressure the Vietnamese and the Laotians to back off.
And we owe, just like we owe the Filipinos and New Guineans and others who helped us against the Japanese in WWII.
