i ain't got no quarrel with them russians is the title of this and it clearly makes that point with much detail;
The entire anti-Russia brouhaha has reminded me of what Mohammad Ali
stated after receiving notice from his local draft board that he was
being forced to serve in the U.S. military during the Vietnam War. Ali
declared. “I ain’t got no quarrel with them Vietcong.”
Ali had a point. After all, what had the Vietcong done to
him or any other American? No Vietcong had ever come to the United States and
attacked civilians, soldiers, or CIA or NSA agents. No Viet Cong had ever
expressed any interest in invading and conquering the United States and taking
over the federal government and the nation’s public-school systems. All that
they were doing was trying to win a civil war that would put the entire country
under the rule of Ho Chi Minh, a declared communist.
What did that have to do with Mohamad Ali or any other
American? Oh, sure, the Viet Cong were killing U.S. soldiers but those soldiers
were over there. Operating on orders of the Pentagon, they had invaded a
foreign land thousands of miles away from the United States. They had embroiled
themselves in another nation’s civil war. They were killing people over there.
If they hadn’t invaded, no Vietcong would have come to get us despite the
Pentagon’s and CIA’s Cold War claim of a worldwide communist conspiracy that
was supposedly based in Moscow, Russia, whose aim was supposedly to start
knocking down countries like dominoes until they finally got the Big Domino,
which was the United States.
Moreover, the U.S. government never enacted any law making
the Viet Cong an official enemy of the United States. And the U.S. Congress
never declared war on the Viet Cong or North Vietnam, which the Constitution
requires as a prerequisite for sending troops into war........https://www.fff.org/2018/12/12/i-aint-got-no-quarrel-with-them-russians/
