"Avrei potuto vincere la guerra del Vietnam in una settimana. Hanno continuato a bombardare le foreste per anni invece di puntare su Ho Chi Minh City".
Ho Chi Minh City (allora Saigon) era la capitale del Vietnam del Sud, alleato degli USA nella guerra.
SMH offered me the chance to watch Trump's final campaign speech Iive this morning. No thanks, I've heard enough of his gibberish. I'd just as soon listen to the garbage truck at that hour.
