The "repression" In Việt Nam is a hell of a lot less than in Cuba. It is not as if the Communists were Communist in anything but name and organization. They much more resemble in Việt Nam a less than heavy handed Latino rule by Junta. They also respond to American pressure to ease the repression that there is. The current problem is that Obama hates Việt Nam and Vietnamese and prefers the country to be more traditionally Communist. Clinton and Bush achieved much in the way of easing the weight on the Viets with constant pressure. Hà Nội backslid a bit in the Obama years. Trump has not yet turned his attention to that situation but he will. The Carrier is a bright portent.

The only way to read this change is to admit we were wrong to fight the war in the first place - and I don’t agree with that.
