Yes, there probably would have been some deaths and imprisonments in any case, but without US support, it would have been over pretty quickly and nowhere near the amount of killing that took place over the ext 25-30 years The USSR was good at producing "nationalist" candidates, but once in, they stayed in and marched to Moscow's orders...or else. I put it to you that the track record of the communist regime in Vietnam does not bode well in terms of how many would have wound up in the gulag, how many would have died. Perhaps not so many as in the long war, but is it better to march tamely into the gulags or to resist their creation? Lots of Koreans supported Kim Il Sung too. Look what they got.
