Sooner or later Hanoi would have had to fight its own battles.... The Americans stopped supporting the South before the Russians stopped supporting the North thus the north won.
Everything the North lost was replaced - this was not he same with the south even if there had not been corruption. The Case-Church amendment prohibited US Military involvement and congress slashed the level of support - which had already effectively been cut due to the October 1973 Oil price rises.
If anybody can claim to have been sold out its the South.....
And that claim ultimately is bullshit because South Korea can and did fight its own battles. Saigon, put to the same test, still needed the USA to hold its hands. No dice.
