Anything is possible. However, it was not probable for peace in Vietnam, due to the ongoing cold war. The Vietnam War was not TOTALLY a war against North Vietnam and the communists in South Vietnam; North Vietnam was a surrogate for the Communist Superpowers. North Vietnam's air defence systems were not manufactured in Hanoi...they were manufactured in Red China (MIG-19/J-6 versions jet fighter planes) & the USSR (MIG-17 & MIG-21 jet fighter planes & SAM missiles/Surface to Air Missiles). Included in that support were: AK-47 assault rifles, SKS semiautomatic carbines, K-54 pistols, artillery, mortars, 122mm rockets, Type 63/PT-76 Amphibious light tanks, T-59/T-54/T-55 medium tanks, trucks, and CHICOM hand-grenades & ammo for all of the above listed weapons. (CHICOM=Chinese Communist). Note-CHICOM hand grenades were stick grenades (looked like WW2 German potato masher grenades).
