Maybe he’ll find a lovely villa there along with low-cost diaper changes performed by young sniffer-type gals and decide that’s the place for him. He’d certain be amongst “birds of a like feather” there.

Well, it’s not like Biden was ever there when there was a war going on. He got five draft deferments then a medical exemption for asthma. This from the guy who claimed to be a college football player.

Can they put him in the same prison cell his buddy McLame was in as a POW?

I have been going back and forth to Việt Nam for 20 years now and will be returning there again next month. I was paying close attention from 86 when I converted to Catholicism and joined a Vietnamese language parish. It is my observation that the only good that came out of the Clinton administration was the extending of the hand of friendship to Việt Nam. Clinton and GBush ll maintained good relations with VN and both leaned consistently on the Vietnamese government to lighten up its control of the economy and the people and rewarded them when they did. The Vietnamese Communists responded slowly but surely and even the old revolutionaries understood that China was much more dangerous to Việt Nam than America ever was or ever would be. In 2003 I found myself discussing politics and relative systems with educated and intelligent Vietnamese, young and old. They were not concerned that their discussions might get them jailed or killed. When the old revolutionaries died off finally before the end of the Bush administration the country took off economically. Steps had been taken to loosen the economy back in the eighties because the rulers were facing tight food on their own tables and the people were emaciated. The bureaucrats took a long time to begin to get with the program and by 2008 I could see the blossoming of small businesses everywhere and the country was taking in a lot of money as the then nr
.2 rice exporter and nr.2 of coffee. Then Mr. Obama became President and as a Democrat he despised Việt Nam because VN was determined to be friends with America and at that point would have accepted a protectorate arrangement. Obama had nothing good to say about VN and encouraged the Chinese to put VN under their thumb. The opening up started closing down again as the Vietnamese government was looking nervously over its shoulder at China. Open conversation stayed within family inside walls. Then came Donald Trump. He was much friendlier to VN and again applied gentle but consistent pressure to open up and VN responded. VN’s new young breed in the Party and the government understood economics and encouraged foreign companies to come aboard and encouraged small businesses. Cars started appearing in people’s yards. Much new construction, commercial and housing was going on all over at least the southern half of the country. People did not bother to register their travels any more and no one cared. The people became mobile and all prospered relatively. Beggars became rare. And then came Biden and the Democrats again who still hate countries that want to be friends with America. It has been downhill since 2020. Emails from my friends are much less likely to commenting on the political scene there or here. I pray for Trump to return as President.

As Communists the Vietnamese government is much more like an enlightened Mafia operation.

“It reflects the leading role that Vietnam will play in our growing network of partnerships in the Indo-Pacific,” Sullivan said.

So our boys sacrificed and died for nothing!

I recently purchased a good quality office chair and I was pleased to find that it was made in Vietnam and not China. The instructions for assembly were CLEAR and in proper English with the outcome of assembly was perfect
So good to see Vietnam competing with the PRC on this level.
