97. North Vietnam would have sacrificed it's entire population?

The pitiful part is, your claim is actually believable. But does nothing for your position. That's precisely why the policy of containment was being pursued against Communism, which killed an indeterminate number of people, probably well over 100,000,000.

However, I believe you're wrong about the ability, if not the willingness of the North Vietnamese Communists to sacrifice the entire population of North Vietnam. Long before that happened, the country would have collapsed.
