It appears that Vietnam didn't make any concessions at all, only the US, i.e. Obama unilaterally lifted the embargo -- now we will sell weapons to Vietnam..

The arming of communists.

Obama has armed ISIS and other US enemies.

Um given that China is the real threat, I am not so sure that arming Vietnam is a bad thing. Enemy of my enemy and all that.

It was done to tweak China as Vietnam is one of the players in the South China sea controversy.

Used to be that things like “normalizing relations” came about via an act of Congress. Now it looks like a simple press conference is all it takes. It sure simplifies things!

Will Obie sell them weapons, or will he give them to them free, courtesy of the American taxpayers?

I doubt whether Vietnam can afford to buy an awful lot of anything.

Obama is hoping to replace the old Hanoi Jane on pinup calendars in Vietnam.

Surely, Obama is aware that he owes his Presidency to the Vietnamese Communists.

During the Vietnam War, the 1968 Tet Offensive resulted in the annihilation of Viet Cong units throughout South Vietnam and was a disaster for the Communist insurgency; it never recovered from its loses. This Tet Offensive was a coordinated “Do or Die” attack by every Viet Cong unit in South Vietnam on the night of January 30 and the morning of January 31, 1968 that simultaneously struck every South Vietnamese City, village, and military installation in an attempt to win the war in one country wide attack; they failed and they paid the price for their failure; they died.

The war was carried on after Tet 1968 by invading North Vietnamese, and North Vietnam could never move sufficient troops down the Ho Chi Minh Trail to ever hope to defeat the United States effort in South Vietnam, so they resorted to another Communist tactic; they lied.

1968 was a Presidential Election year in the United States, and the Communist Party USA attempted to use the Tet Offensive to influence the election by claiming it was a Communist victory and the war was lost. This American Communist Party organized an anti-war movement and assembled enough strength through this movement to seize control of the Democrat Party that summer during the 1968 Democrat Convention in Chicago.

These Communists attempted to nominate a Presidential candidate who would end the war and they failed, but the Communist Party USA still retained control of the Democrat Party, and this Party managed to elect enough Leftists to Congress to cut funding for the Vietnam War and the war was then lost, so in this way the 1968 Tet Offensive was indeed a Communist victory.

After using the Tet Offensive to gain control of the Democrat Party, the Communist Party USA never lost control of the Democrat Party, and when a few decades later they managed to elect an avowed Marxist Communist, Barack Hussein Obama, to the Presidency of the United States, it made the 1968 Tet Offensive the greatest Communist victory of all times.
