Vietnam had the mis fortune of defeating the US in a WAR .! All of our former adversarys prospered after we defeated them.!
The Vietnamese are Great fighters ,very resourceful and natural enemys of China.China has coveted Vietnam for centurys ,as its the RICE BOWL of Asia .Its climate low land s and rivers are ideal for growing rice.They have always exported Rice. That very small country has fended off China for years ,just imagine if they were well armed and financed what they could do to China.
I knew a long time ago why the Americans were there ..The oil companies discovered oil off the Cast of vietnam years before Vietnam war…thats why WE were there ! Now the Chinese want to exploit it claiming territorial rights for off their traditional previous borders. Vietnam is a Natural Friend of the US ….make use of it ! What friend is better than a former enemy ,,they really understand each other. I hired many Vietnamese when I was in business and I’m happy to say I benefitted from industrius hard working and very honest people .All my employees handeled my money every day and in 25 years I can tell you I never worried about honesty with them.They were a blessing to me during an era when help was hard to get .I became friends with some and they told me amazing stories about that WAR. WE should be friends with Vietnam….
