What is now Ho Chi Minh City was then Saigon, the capital of U.S.-backed South Vietnam.
Thus, bombing it would not have “won the Vietnam War in a week” — except perhaps for the VietCong.
Trump:
I could have won the Vietnam War in a week.
They kept bombing forests for years instead of going after Ho Chi Minh City.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Ho Chi Minh City was called Saigon during the Vietnam War and was the capital of US-allied South Vietnam; North Vietnam's capital was Hanoi.

Completely unhinged. The WSJ editorial board is calling for U.S. sanctions against the International Court of Justice and its judges.
All over the nonsensical idea that the Court "is poised to lower the threshold for proving genocide" in Gambia v. Myanmar.
1/3
Warning the International Court of Justice: ICJ judge Yuji Iwasawa’s jaunt to New York belies the danger he’s courting.

ATTENTION VOTERS: The president is NOT on the ballot. We are receiving many calls asking why that race is missing. Also, we can't tabulate voters' hair combs, gift cards, honey-do lists, tax bills or anything besides a Yavapai County Ballot. Happy Voting!

We have a loved one scheduled to be on this flight. He will be killed if he’s returned to the Taliban. He supported the US mission in Afghanistan. He has broken no laws. He came here legally. Seeking asylum should not be a death sentence.
Breaking News: The Trump administration has detained dozens of Afghan immigrants in Louisiana — including relatives of those who helped the U.S. military — and plans to deport them to Afghanistan, according to U.S. officials. nyti.ms/4jPVvrw

- Segundo a CNN Brasil, órgãos que investigam a saída de Flávio Bolsonaro concluíram que ela foi planejada antes da eleição e chamada internamente de "operação Alba".
- De acordo com a reportagem, ele cruzou a fronteira de van, acompanhado de um ex-agente do Mossad, e a PF avalia pedir ao STF o bloqueio de seus bens.
• Duas vans: Flávio cruzaram a Ponte da Amizade na terça (27) numa van, e a esposa e as filhas foram em outra. As placas foram identificadas por câmeras. Segundo a CNN, os motoristas são um ex-vereador de Foz do Iguaçu e o filho dele.
•Ex-agente do Mossad: um ex-agente israelense, naturalizado americano, teria chegado ao Brasil em 19/10, acompanhado Flávio de Brasília até a Argentina e estado na van com ele na fronteira. A reportagem não diz o nome dele.
•Argentina e EUA: fontes do governo dizem que houve ajuda de integrantes do governo Milei e chamam o caso de "exfiltração", com apoio da Argentina e dos EUA. Sobre o jato, a CNN repete o que o NYT já tinha publicado: teria sido providenciado por Jason Miller.
•Pistas falsas: segundo as fontes, informações desencontradas foram espalhadas de propósito para desviar a atenção para outro local.
•Planejamento: a conclusão dos órgãos é que a fuga não foi de última hora. O plano teria até nome interno, "operação Alba".
•O mais novo: a PF avalia pedir ao STF o bloqueio de bens e contas de Flávio, e o Ministério da Justiça espera o relatório da PF para decidir sobre cooperação internacional.

Oregon’s Secretary of State responding with this letter, which says at the end: “… my name is spelled R-E-A-D, as in ‘read the Constitution’… thank you for your attention to this matter”

Planning to attend? Is that a sort of thought crime?
Anyone planning to attend a demonstration in support of Palestine Action in the vicinity of the US Embassy on Saturday, 31 October will face arrest as part of a robust policing operation.
Expressing support for the group is an offence under the Terrorism Act following its proscription in June 2025, a decision upheld by the Court of Appeal in June 2026.

Secunder Kermani is inside the village of Umm Al-Khair in the occupied West Bank as Israeli bulldozers demolish Palestinian houses. Families can do nothing but watch as Israeli authorities destroy their property.
Meanwhile, children in the village have lost the freedom to walk to school as settlers block their routes with razor wire.
Violent attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank have risen dramatically over the past two years, while Israel's government has approved a record number of new settlements

The rubble of Gaza is now a tomb.
Since the Hamas-led attacks in Israel on October 7, tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip, many of them women and children.
And more than 1,400 Gazans have been killed since the ceasefire last October.
The bodies of many of the victims have still not yet been recovered with the remains covered under thousands of tons of rubble.
Israel still doesn't allow journalists in, so working with a Gazan filmmaker Channel 4 News has followed efforts to retrieve the of bodies trapped there.
Warning: this report contains distressing images including human remains.

💰NEW: Manchester United director Edward Glazer has donated $200,000 to Trump’s Republican Party ahead of the midterms, @CityAM can reveal.
Owners at Palace, Villa, Bournemouth and Ipswich (as well as Boehly) have given cash ahead of Tuesday’s vote, too.

Is the river actually 1.5m wide at the proposed site ? Or does that include both banks and any necessarily additional infrastructure (that will not be built has the full thing is pie in the sky)
#BreakingNews | The preferred location for the world's largest tidal power scheme has been revealed.
A 1.5-mile stretch of the River Mersey has been identified as the preferred zone to develop a barrage between Wirral and Liverpool, which would create thousands of jobs, generate clean energy for over 120 years and protect businesses and homes from flooding caused by rising sea levels.
Mayor Steve Rotheram said: “At a time when events around the world can send energy prices soaring, we need to make better use of the resources we have on our own doorstep. We should be generating more of our own energy, strengthening our energy security and creating good jobs here at home.
"And with the potential to protect homes and businesses from rising sea levels too, this could be an investment in our region's future that our children, grandchildren and generations beyond them could still be benefiting from a century from now."

Hopefully @MetroMayorSteve can explain why his figures are showing high costs of £60m odd for the Baltic station, previously reported it was going to be £100m and the echo reporting yesterday its going to £160m.
Which figure is correct?
Ps probably £200m+ once completed
