Has anyone asked Jane Fonda for her thoughts on this?
Will we send them new anti-aircraft guns to replace the old ones?
Well Obama just announced todat that Vietnam is buying 100 Boeing 737 MAX airliners to be delivered over 4 years.
But the USSR is gone and Vietnam is Communist INO and is now a authoritarian socialist state with crony capitalists running amok. They seem to fit the profile of the perfect Obama ally since that our current politic.
But the boogey man is China so this must be a good thing, no? China is a threat to us but Vietnam is not. Vietnam would love to be a threat to China. This looks better than arming Shiites to fight ISIS doesn’t it? Or arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS to check Russia from keeping Assad in his dessert paradise.
it is shameful to see a smiling American president posing in front of a bust of Ho Chi Minh
China is about to unleash North Korea. This move by Obama is NOT good.Very sophomoric.
“I do wonder what communist Vietnam will have to offer in foreign exchange to buy all these new toys.”
Last year the U.S had a trade deficit of $31 billion with Vietnam. So, Vietnam has a lot of dollars with which to buy military goods from us.
President Ike is rolling over in his grave and is saying, “I warned you about the military/industrial complex! You never listen!”
Or in plain English, the Neocons never stop selling a new war and their weapons of war.
