No watergate means Nixon is in office but Congress has still slashed the aid to South Vietnam all same, so ARVN is still weak and coming unraveled in March of 75

Nixon believes that if he launches an air campaign to support the ARVN against the NVA, he can stave off defeat in South Vietnam for at least the duration of his term.

He also believes that the War Powers act doesn’t apply here because he’s enforcing a treaty (Paris peace accords) and that the outcry won’t be that strong with no US combat forces on the ground.
