Firstly, you are not in position to threaten others, and should not even if you have ability.
The second, we faced China thousand times from ancient with the China greatest emperors until now ... so don't day dream .. for an easy war to us. China has never been poor for all the time for thousand years ...
In 1979, we are in position not afraid to make a full-scale counter attack to China mainland, and many experts think that would cause more Chinese bleed !! But that's not what we intend ... Don't know how your govt lied to your soldiers for the reason of the China invasion ... ( 1 of the funny reason : save the President Ho Chi Minh - who died 10 years before )
The third, the big difference now Vietnam is the member of most of big organization, including UNSC, .. we're not alone as in Sino-Vietnam conflict 1979
Didn't threat nobody, we are having a discussion, and I didn't say war, I just presented facts. I didn't say let's go to war, I just said what would happen if war.
Why do you keep bring up 1979, you know what, you guys were nowhere near even Kunming, your government evacuated Hanoi. Deng was sitting pretty in Beijing. We burned North Vietnam on our way back. Finland defeated the Soviets, Ethiopia resisted the Italians, but you know what happened the second time around?
The situation was different, then we were poorly equipped and trained, today we are not. Then Vietnam was the cream of the crop from the Vietnam war, but those Generals and soldiers all died or retired.
Americans would barely defend Japan, and Russians didn't even defend you then, much less now. That leaves ASEAN, nobody there is going all in for Vietnam.
If you got no valid argument do you automatically go 1979, what's the point of posting if that's all you are going to say, use arguments relevant to today.

You can buy whatever you want, but it's crazy expensive, just check out the Indian deal for Rafales. It's a couple of years budget for Vietnam for just one deal. It's a lot more if it's the Americans.
