Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Larry Summers said European leaders’ handling of the sovereign debt crisis evokes comparisons with U.S. strategy during the Vietnam War until helicopters pulled out of Saigon.
“An observer such as myself who wishes the project well, but is able to maintain some degree of detachment, sees in some of what has taken place a pattern all too reminiscent of U.S. decision making during the Vietnam War,” Summers said at the Institute of International and European Affairs in Dublin yesterday.
Citing research by military analyst Daniel Ellsberg, Summers said U.S. policy makers opted at each juncture of the war in Vietnam to do the “minimum” to avoid an imminent catastrophe “until it all collapsed around them and the helicopters left Saigon.”
