Yeah, kind of cowardice for China to do this. Even IF VNese fisherman ACTUALLY violate Chinese sea, then arrest them, put them to trial like Indonesia did, with proper evidences and defences. At least VN will acknowledge our mistake. However this is no way our faults for fishing in OUR SEA.
3 countries had too much bad blood in the past (and recent too). An alliance is not practical. I imagine one side rising up and conquering (by economical means or by force) the other two is more possible.
The main problem that limits armored suit right now is power source. It takes a lot of juices to move those metal around, and the way the move is not really efficient in term of power (legs compare to wheels or tracks).
Also it's not like walkers are invincible against infantry. A squad...
This spider-like tractor have a long way to go. As for what is like to be applied IRL, I think power armor and exoskeleton have the higher chance than mecha. Maybe a mecha-power armor hybrid is the answer.
Different countries, different policies, different mottos. You know what VN's motto is: "Independence - Freedom - Happiness". See the way it's arranged: independence comes first, even before freedom and happiness of the people. History, culture and other factors contribute to this mindset of...
It is hard, I tell you. Many people believe this conception: "If you aren't with us, you are against us". Even if you do not take side, you are actually taking the side of those who remains "neutral". And I serious doubt their neutrality will stay the same, if things change.
You watch Pacific Rim right? You know how mecha look pretty clumsy around water. For the island we have these bad boys
I bet Japan have the same force too?
Not literally "crushing" them :D. Imagine a 3 meter tall steel giant blasting huge noise while walking toward a crowd. With each step the ground shakes and soon the panic spreads among the crowd. I bet few would dare to continue their "little" protest.
Remember, we could say that tanks came from cars, bombers came from fighters. If mecha becomes popular, I see nothing will stop people from developing a more robust, more heavily armed mecha.
True, the image of a steel giant is certainly for frightening than an iron box. It might have something...
Seriously I don't care about democracy, socialism or communism. There are always those in power, regardless of the regime. Some might fall, but most stay. I am not talking about the people appear on TV, but those controlling from the shadow. So whatever works for VN, I am all for it. However, if...
And we did not beat the US alone, we beat the puppet consisted of half the power of VN. The US did not fight alone, they fight together with VNese who were armed with US weapons, using US tatics. I know communist govts have the habit of downplaying civil wars, but it doesn't mean history didn't...
See you in 6 months, in your dream. I have been waiting for 1000 years.
Hello, you must be new around here. VN is playing the balance game walking a thin line, with US, China on both side. The greatest thing VN can achieve is not gaining something, but to not lose everything. Isn't that pro...
Thanks for your invitation. I think such personal and sensitive information should not be shared, especially over the internet. I'm afraid tt'll soon become a d!ck measuring contest. You shouldn't share yours either, or else some VNese mems will pick on you even if you have good intention.
Uhm, Tran and Nguyen are the 2 most popular family names in VN, but they are not VN exclusive. I believe there are people with that name all around East Asia. Saying "my last name is Tran" instantly equal to "I'm VNese" is a bit racist, like the case with Hans-Germany or Smith-America.
I never denied the support support from Soviet and China during VN war contributed a lot to the final victory against France and US, yet admitting it does not mean I agree with erasing out the human factor in the war. Yes, there were Chinese and Soviet specialists and troops worked and fought in...
Any anti-China mems are automatically given a VNese citizenship? Any pro-China person get a free pass to settle in China? Is that how it works, the Chinese way?
Also stop derailing the topic, this is the second time already.
