You seriously suggest, that Russian tankers using Cam Rahn bay airbase, is sufficient provocation that we bomb the airfield in Vietnam?

Is that the world standard now? Should Russia feel justified to bomb anywhere a US tanker launches from?/

It’s an international airport now. Bombing it would not be advisable.

US officials say Russian bomber planes have increased their number of flights in the region and even conducted what the Pentagon called “provocative flights” around Guam, a US territory in the Pacific that is home to a large military base.

We built that air base. We have helped make Viet Nam a viable economy-we buy a lot of stuff from them, not the Russians.

We should have some say about it, if there is a threat to one of our military installations.

US military tankers do not take off from regular airports to my knowledge, at least they are not fueled at one. If the Russians wish to bomb a US airfield, then they can expect an appropriate military response.

The point is, thanks to the knuckleheads in the White House now, no one respects us or fears us.

Is it too much to ask a trading partner like Viet Nam to stop co-operating with a country that is provoking us at one of our military installations?

My view is we built that airport,with a lot of American blood, and we can take it out.

Your mileage may vary.
