"Nixon should be told that it is probably a goal of (Johnson’s Defense Secretary) Clifford to remove Thieu (South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu) before Nixon takes office. One should tell Nixon that if Thieu suffers the same fate as Diem, the nations of the world will learn that being America's enemy may be dangerous, but being America's friend is fatal.”

By the way, who says people who believes in that are anti-US propagandists. I would say from what I have read many were friends of the US who are disappointed as the US has mismanaged many things that caused problems for their friends. For example, the US faked the reasons for the invasion of Iraq, and subsequently the sanctions against Iran, Libya & Venezuela because they were all willing to trade oil in ANY currency, which could impact the US dollar hegemony & bring down the US economy. The Europeans, as US friends, were very compliant to those US sanctions, which left them with Russia as their sole source of energy. Now, with the US starting a war with Russia using Ukraine as their proxy, should Russia cut of those oil & gas this winter, the continent would freeze & their economies could collapse.
A similar situation is developing with the US goading for war with China as China, spooked by the way the US just prints money pegged to nothing of value to settle their debts & obligations, are also trying to de-dollarised their economy, as well as many others who are taking mitigating actions as the US has weaponized the USD too often, and they all don’t know when & who will next have to face the wrath of the US.
So there is no “propaganda” involved, only a natural human reaction to protect themselves against an unpredictable & tempramental “friend”, who has been less then competent in managing their financial affairs & their relationship with the world.
The propaganda & brain washing seems to be coming from the US side, as those who follow the international press, outside the reach of US & western media, as well as away from Russian & Chinese press sources, can see for themselves. As an American, you shoud know that your country had lied to you over the Gulf of Tonkin incident, as well as WMD’s in Iraq, both for reason of justifying a war. And I have no doubt that history will reveal that they are lying to you again over Ukraine.
