Biden says Vietnam deal is about global stability, not containing China.

HANOI (AP) — President Joe Biden insisted Sunday that he is not trying to start a “cold war” with China as he made his first visit to Vietnam, saying his goal is to provide stability around the world by building U.S. ties with Vietnam and other Asian countries.

“We have an opportunity to strengthen alliances around the world to maintain stability. That’s what this trip is all about,” Biden said at a news conference. “It’s not about containing China. It’s about having a stable base.”

The U.S. president came to Hanoi as Vietnam is elevating the United States to its highest diplomatic status as a comprehensive strategic partner, evidence of how far the relationship has evolved from what Biden referred to as the “bitter past” of the Vietnam War.

Yup,his first visit to Vietnam. Funny how he was able to play college football but was unable to serve in the Armed Forces because of “childhood asthma”.

China is being dealt with even as our leaders claim no ill will towards China.

It was said in the past that by 2025 China would pull ahead of the USA.

The Uniparty Elites have been getting ready for this time when US global economic dominance would need to be defended.

Nixon said “we can’t run the world without China” when the friendliness to China for economic purposes began back around 1970.

Now in 2023 we have reached the point where:

“We can’t run the world with China being the most powerful economy in the world”

“...saying his goal is to provide stability around the world by building U.S. ties with Vietnam and other Asian countries.”

What? What/who would be the cause of the global instability he is seeking to avoid by building ties with VN, AP countries (except CN)? If he is even aware of what the words he is saying mean, then he is being untruthful here. A U.S. [R]esident doesn’t show up in CN’s backyard and spew such crap. If he is doing anything, I’ll give him this much credit ... the CN CCP must be scratching their heads wondering whether the Americans with this clown might be a trap for them to fall into with terrible consequences to their ambitions.

Maybe Biden will have more flexibility after his reelection.

As much as I despise Biden and his thugs, 24/7/365.

America becoming a trade ally with Vietnam is probably better/safer than being with Australia or NZ.

How is it that ‘asthma’ kept his sorry ass out of Nam when the bullets were flying but now his ‘asthma’ is OK to visit that country?

I think I gave a good objective analysis of the situation.

Nixon opened up China and Carter said Taiwan was part of China now the flip-flop and why?

Because our relations with China friendly or not so friendly are based on the US maintaining economic dominance of the world.

Based on the US leading a One World Globalist Economic System.

It’s up to the readers of my posts to decide if that’s what they want, support or believe in.

"Joe is bring home the money for john Kerry and his investors."

I remember reading not long after Obama "normalized" relations with Vietnam, that John Kerry's brother, Cameron Kerry headed to Vietnam to advance business deals there. He was General Counsel of the United States Department of Commerce from 2009 to 2013. Family business interests no doubt.

You keep spewing this illogical crap that I’ve been seeing from wu mao’s or useful globalist idiots on this — acknowledging CCP I’d bad but then talking about how US supported them and built them up.

Zero logic. Because the likes of Kissinger, Bush and Clinton sold out and propped up Chicoms we should support them or overlook their despotism.

Idiot logic that makes sense only to 支那共匪 like you.

It can be argued that Biden is merely following American, Korean and European companies who have already moved operations from China to Vietnam.

Biden is playing catchup and trying to take credit.

There was credible intelligence that there were POWs still alive in Vietnam.
McCain covered up that intelligence so the Kerry deal could go through
