Why would Viet Nam attack China?

[Star Traveler]

We should be helping Vietnam, India, Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines ... for whatever they need to go AGAINST CHINA!

But it's commie doctrine: there can never be war between communist countries. That was one of the selling points: when the whole world is communist, there will be no more war.

One more lie. What difference does it make?

Klub.. Sizzler??

Who names these things? Geesh.

Zinger. Kaabamster.

The multinational arms trade has some ways to go as they work the PR angle.

Vietnam Buys Deadly New Missiles Capable of Hitting China

Since Vietnam and China border each other, wouldn't a missile capable of hitting China require a range of say about ten feet?

(yes, I know they are naval missile. I just thought the range statement was funny)

And, speaking of Vietnam reminded me that today is April 30, 2015 and is the 40th anniversary of the surrender of South Vietnam to Communist North Vietnam on April 30, 1975.

Thanks to Hillary! peace is breaking out all over.

In the late 70s China invaded Vietnam just to kick their rear end. Vietnam would love to get revenge.

“Deadly missile?” Versus the non-lethal type of missile?

[Teacher317]

Since VietNam and China share a border, I could throw a (smaller) missile across the river and hit China. This is not a major technological achievement.

[The_Reader_David]

The headline writer is none too swift. “Capable of hitting China,” is a rather weak claim. It basically means functional, seeing that the two countries have a common border.
