Not to the "nation" (country) of the US. But the North was attacking the South...and the US was determined to stop them.

In the Vietnam war was north Vietnam a threat to the U.S.?

Not a direct threat like physically harming the United States, such as Japanese Submarines did to Brookings Oregon and Santa Barbara California in 1942. Or the German subs that attacked US shipping off the east coast during the war. North Vietnam was a threat, only, as a representative of the Communist powers during the cold war, N. Vietnam was acting as an agent for the USSR & Red China. North Vietnam, has sometimes, been referred to as a "Surrogate" for the USSR & Red China during the war...or someone might say, Vietnam was a "Surrogate War." In that way, yes, N. Vietnam was a threat. If the question is meant to mean, "...was N. Vietnam a threat to US forces in theater (in Vietnam)?" Yes, always. NVAF helicopters may have destroyed a US Navy Swift Boat in 1968 (PCF-19). NVAF MiG-17 jets bombed the US Navy Light Cruiser USS Oklahoma City inflicting only light damage; but heavily damaging the US destroyer USS Higbee in 1972. North Viet shore batteries constantly duelled US warships operating off of Yankee Station (North Vietnamese coastline/Dixie Station was the Southern coastline).


What did john Kerry believed about the alleged threat that north Vietnam posed to the US?

John Kerry, a Vietnam War veteran and later a prominent political figure, believed that the alleged threat posed by North Vietnam to the United States was overstated. During his testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971, he argued that the war was based on a false premise, asserting that North Vietnam did not pose a direct threat to U.S. security. He emphasized the need for diplomatic solutions rather than military intervention, advocating for a reassessment of American foreign policy in the region.
