Big bad Vietnam is ready for action! But why is Viet not in rank 30 of military firepower?

Submarine fleet in 6 years?! By that time China will have overpassed Russia in military firepower rankings. Vietnam why fight? You WILL lose. You can't beat them join them.
I see a Qin's terracottic soldier on your avatar but have you ever read Suntzu's "The Art of War". As it said: the matter of warfare was not the matter of military power.
We weren't even deserved to be ranked in the list of "military firepower" when we fought the French at Dien Bien Phu. Sir, should we join the French?
In the Vietnam war, under US army, naval and air firepower, our main weapon was AK-47. Sir, should we join the American?
In the Korean war, the PLA was nowhere in the rank of military firepower. Sir, should the Chinese join the American?
"You can't beat them join them": just simple, huh? If it was, there should be only one country left on the Earth today.
In a island as small as Singapore, it could be acceptable, but just keep it as your private secret, please don't tell others.
There is a word in English dictionary so called "Independence", you'd better have a look up to understand what people around the world feel.
Good luck!
P/S: But I still found your idea very interesting, and familiar too. Hey, whenever there is war, why we have to go to the battle filed and all the soldiers fight to the death. Why don't we just calculate how much firepower a country have and announce the victor later.
For example, before China and the US gonna fight each other, we just need to count how many airplane, battleship, aircraft carrier, artillery, bullet, bomb, artillery shell... each side have to determine the winner. Suppose China has more than the US, then the US would surrender, China would absorb the US and the PLA march in the Time Square.
Bravo! Genius! Right? No deaths, no bloodbath. LOL!
