Yes, a lot of the areas are post European colonialism. Most of the world is post European colonialism, including the Americas. Vietnam wasn't fought for the French though. The French were expelled in the first Indochina war and the North and South Vietnamese had independence. The French lost and went home. The US never tried to re-establish French rule.
You might argue that the US fought in Vietnam for the South Vietnamese, to maintain their independence from the North. However I think we all know that the US fought in Vietnam to block Russia and China getting more influence in the area. It was a choice the US made for it's own reasons to do with the cold war.
Now, the US might feel that because nobody else had the military might to stand against "communism" they had no option but to get involved. They did it to protect their own interests though.

I wish somebody in the military had the spine needed to arrest this particular threat to our nation.

I'm admittedly not a genius when it comes to foreign exchange/international currency dynamics, but unless the Yuan became the reserve currency I think it would be a positive change for most of the world.

I think you might have misunderstood the lesson that we're taught about the Holocaust. It wasn't important who Nazi Germany gurt, it's what the Nazi's did. Regardless of who they did it to. The Nazis threw away their own humanity to achieve their goals, that is always wrong. Everything else after that is just details. That's what people are afraid of with Trump's deportation mandate, that to actually achieve it migrants will need to be treated subhuman. To deport them as quickly as Trump wants America and American's will have to throw away some more of their humanity. It's not the same as Nazi Germany in that there aren't death camps, but Trump and his allies want America to walk down that path a bit. It's wrong.

I think Lapar made a mistake. With a brief search, I found an article from 2019.
[https://www.reuters.com/article/world/china-strikes-back-at-us-with-new-tariffs-on-75-billion-in-goods-idUSKCN1VD1BG/](China strikes back with tariffs on 75 billion in goods.)
