But Le Duan ignored the best practice of diplomacy. The whole Vietnam nation paid the price for his foolishness, just like Ukraine. Le Duan believed that Soviet will defend Vietnam, Soviet didn't. Instead, Soviet decided to invade Afghanistan. Vietnam was as naive as Ukraine today.

Side? What do you mean side? Did US donate hundreds of billions of weapons to China, just like China gave Vietnam for free? Did US give Taiwan back to China? Did US give Chinese food like China gave food to Vietnamese? Did US help China CCP to win the civil war like China helped North Vietnam...

Agree.

I am glad I am not the only one linked Russia-Ukraine war to China-Vietnam War. Echoes of history. My two cents: Before China-Vietnam War, Vietnam was invading Cambodia. China was a Vietnam ally long before North Vietnam independence. It was China helped Vietnamese the most to get their...

I am glad even Vietnamese in US is as confident as before. I thought Covid at least taught US a lesson or two. It seems that I overestimated you and some other members here. US is as formidable as before, those Iraq war, Afghanistan War, Vietnam War loss is nothing. Chinese are too realist, I...

Don't think scramjet version will be matured and deployed in the near future. DOD didn't reveal anything important, such as range, height, how many seconds the scramjet engine lasted. Please let me know if you have the statistic. I agree, scramjet version will be truly revolutionary if it's...

Biden says Putin may encircle Ukraine with tanks, but can't defeat the heart and souls of the Iranian people.

I don't think India leader think it's the right thing to oppose Russia, otherwise, India should oppose US, UK, EU, Japan first, they were much worse or the damn same in modern history. The British Empire had genocide more people than the rest imperialists combined.

As they said, not blue eyes, not blonde hairs, uncivilized. They don't see Kashmir, Palestine, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan people's suffering as humanitarian disaster, they created it.

Please see my attachment. I download it from somewhere 2 days ago.

@Joe Shearer, I found the book mentioned by @SIPRA India’s Envoy to China 1961–63 P K Banerjee’s China Days

The Galwan Valley effects, the QUAD, and the Covid. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Hey Guys, Almost 2 years has passed since 2020 Galwan Valley skirmish, and the world is gradually recovering from Covid. My 2 cents on India. The Good India was in relative good position before 2020: US was on...

Damn. I agree with you on your first half, but your second half sounds like western agenda. You think Putin is just silly? Let me put it this way. After the fall of British Empire, India has been TAKEN over by a group of extremely rich and corrupt oligarchs Their interests and the interests of...

Iran has the NEW JCPOA ready, a loose agreement which favors Iran. Let's review what Iran got in past decades. WW2 gave Iran the political space to get rid of imperialism. Cold War strengthened Iran's geopolitical position, the west threatened Soviet to retreat from the North, the Azerbaijani...

Smaller countries worried their own security and territorial integrity, that's natural and reasonable. US will steal your money, threaten you, instigate riots, color revolution, blackmail you, spy you, but they do have a basic principle that they don't take your country away, they don't want to...

WW2 gave Iran the political space to get rid of imperialism. Cold War strengthened Iran's geopolitical position, the west threatened Soviet to retreat from the North, the Azerbaijani area. Soviet dismantlement freed the South Caucasus, created a buffer zone between Russia and Iran. In post Cold...

True. But smaller countries worried their own security and territorial integrity, that's natural and reasonable. US will steal your money, threaten you, instigate riots, color revolution, blackmail you, spy you, but they do have a basic principle that they don't take your country away, they...

Putin is generous to be more specific. Billions of oil/gas money, feed Chechen. The money flow keeps Kadyrov ruling.

Quadrilateral Security Dialogue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrilateral_Security_Dialogue QUAD started in 2007, long before 2020 Galwan Valley skirmish. QUAD is not a military alliance back then. (Galwan Valley as a dispute was older for sure) I am sure Modi and Xi talked about QUAD for...
