You are not wrong, this is a one-party state.
But this is NOT China. In fact the Viets fought a war with China, after fighting the USA. Unlike China, Vietnam has very good relations with America.
In fact, we may have mishandled relations with Vietnam originally.
(Some think we did)
It is a very good place. This is NOT China. We have facebook, Twitter, you name it.
Just saying. Vietnam was concerned with uniting their country.
They did.
Now it is a nice place. Just saying…
Sorry no single party state is a ‘nice’ state. Who the hell do you think you are talking too?
Yes. Originally, right after WWII, we supported independence for many Asian colonies. We even gave the Philippines their independence in 1946. Like us, tomorrow is their Independence Day!
The problem was the French. Unless we supported them, they would not support us in NATO and Soviet containment. And losing China to Mao was a body blow to those who wanted us to support Asian independence. Korea further enhanced the domino theory blokes. After that, EVERYTHING was part of the Cold War struggle.
The ideals of the immediate post war crowd were over after the summer of 1950.
Agree with most of your comments but we cannot forget that the country is tightly controlled by the communist. They are suppressing the Montagnard people and the Catholic Church.
I'm considering getting out of the US.
