Yes. Vietnam had help.
The Soviet Union supplied surface-to-air missiles, MiG fighter jets, artillery, ammunition, technical advisors, and hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid annually at the peak of the war.
China supplied weapons, logistics support, engineering troops who helped maintain supply lines, and a security guarantee that prevented the United States from invading the North the way it had crossed into North Korea in 1950, a constraint that fundamentally shaped American strategic options for the entire war.
This is true. It is documented. It is important.
Now let's talk about what the other side had.
The United States entered Vietnam with the backing of the largest military-industrial complex in human history.
It had NATO.
It had Japan and Okinawa as major logistical hubs.
It had the Philippines.
It had Thailand, from which B-52s flew bombing missions.
It had Taiwan.
It had South Korea, which sent 320,000 troops to fight alongside American forces, the second largest foreign contingent in the war.
It had Australia, New Zealand, Thailand and the Philippines contributing forces.
It had the global dollar system funding everything.
It had the entirety of Western industrial capacity behind its weapons production.
Vietnam had allies.
America had a coalition, a global reserve currency, and decades of accumulated industrial supremacy.
The help was not equivalent.
The victory was.
@kirara_meigic He cried not because he made mistakes in land reform. Land reform has really made farmers have land. He cried because of a lot of pain caused by the abuse of land reform. The current splendor is not built from perfect history. But go up from mistakes and correct mistakes
@jbonhamjr@nxt888 Stupid, my country has a national day on September 2, 1945, who won it from? That Japanese word is stupid. Does the US Congress cut the aid for the south? So who signed the Paris agreement and withdrew in 1973. If the US does not lose, why sign an agreement and withdraw troops.
@KrepelkaJim@nxt888 Historical idiot or polpot's henchman. Vietnam occupied Laos and Cambodia?, it's so funny. The American Empire has only been formed for less than 300 years, from merchants, without culture, how can we know the national spirit?
@theRealKiyosaki Welcome to Việt Nam. “Vietnam was a war of Christians against Buddhists over oil.”Haha, I think you are so ignorant or politically naive. On this occasion, let's learn more about the history of the wửa.
🚨⚡️This is not Hiroshima in 1945.. No
Nor is it the remains of ruins from Earth's disasters.. No
It is Gaza, by the act of the Israeli army and American weapons.
@YinZP365 You are smart. Use it for your country. We are an independent country, living in peace with our neighbors and cooperating with all partners in the world. We also see your intentions. You should examine your nature when you want to criticize someone for being ungrateful.
Donald Trump won.
Don’t get too excited.
Wars will continue: on China, Iran, and Russia.
The U.S. is run by banks, military contractors, and corporate elites who select the politicians.
And Donald Trump is no outsider. No matter how much he irritates the insiders.
An open letter to the Jewish community around the world.
Israel ‘the Jewish state’ of ‘the chosen people’ has committed acts of well-documented injustice against the Palestinian people for decades. I won’t go into the details. October 7 didn’t happen in a vacuum and you know that. Israel had many opportunities to achieve a lasting peace with the Palestinians but failed to make an honest effort: https://t.co/eaEuhJrOnb
Around the world people are watching the non-stop massacre of children on social media and somehow these innocent kids are blamed for what Hamas did. Those of us with kids think ‘what would I do if these were my kids’. That’s why nobody is talking about October 7 anymore.
The damage that Netanyahu and his genocidal co-conspirators are doing to Jews around the world should not be underestimated. I see the Internet explode with Jew hatred. I find myself angry and perplexed about how little pushback I can register against Netanyahu by the Jewish community. It makes me sick that the forever-victims don’t show empathy for other victims.
Sure there are a handful of Jewish journalists and activist who speak out against the indiscriminate mass murder of Palestinians but they are a drop in the ocean. Where is the condemnation from the global Jewish community? If you don’t speak out you are seen as complicit. The Israeli President claimed that all Palestinians are Hamas. If you do nothing the same logic applies to you.
Just imagine the anger of the world if Netanyahu would use nuclear weapons against Iran. The danger is real. Iran has sophisticated hypersonic ballistic missiles that cannot be stopped by the Iron dome. If Israel strikes sensitive targets in Iran they can retaliate by destroying Israel’s energy infrastructure and water supply. What do you think Netanyahu would do?
Israel expects that the United States will join a war against Iran. But as soon as Russia and China get involved they have to back down or risk nuclear war. You may have noticed that the US Govt is only good at carpet bombing civilians in countries with weak armies. Since WW2 they have not fought against a peer opponent and even then Russia did most of the work.
Just look at the graveyard of US and NATO military hardware in Ukraine. Hundreds of billions of dollars and the combined effort of the West could not win the US proxy war against Russia.
What is the US military worth in a fight against Iran, Russia and China? Nothing. Self destruction is the only possible outcome. Counting on the US Govt to achieve victory is stupid. Just look at Ukraine. The only chance that Israel has is peace. It will become impossible to manage the Jew hatred around the world if the indiscriminate killing continues and expands. Not even attempting to stop Netanyahu is condemning the Jewish people to be hated and punished everywhere.
Don’t let this happen. Show the world that you care about other victims of injustice and genocide. Please get involved and stop this madness. You have the power to stop this and if you don’t you will come to regret it.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
You are a fake historian. In the spring of 1788 lunar year, King Quang Trung (Nguyen Hue) defeated 280,000 Qing troops commanded by Ton Si Nghi ( 敦时宜) and Sam Nghi Dong (三义东). It is natural that your history books do not dare to record it.
Vietnamese say that China has invaded Vietnam 23 times in history and all failed. As someone who is very familiar with Chinese history, I hardly remember any mention of the war to attack Vietnam in Chinese history books, I guess either because it was too small in scale or because some wars were simply launched by individual border generals, and the central government did not even know about it.
The one I do remember was in 1788 AD, when a rebellion broke out in Vietnam. After the old king was overthrown, he went to China for help. At the request of the old king of Vietnam, China sent troops to Vietnam. Chinese troops won some battles at the beginning, but later was ambushed by the Vietnamese army on the day of the Spring Festival and finally failed.
The Chinese emperor was very angry and sent more troops and plan to launch the second war. The new king of Vietnam was very afraid and sent his son to Beijing as a hostage, killing some Vietnamese generals and troops who had killed the Chinese army in the last war. The new king himself also came to Beijing to request forgiveness from the Chinese emperor Qianlong. In the end, the Chinese emperor Qianlong forgave him and allowed him to continue as the king of Vietnam, no longer supporting the old king of Vietnam.
Is this a huge victory for the Vietnamese in resisting Chinese aggression?
@YinZP365 Your baseless statements are terrible. We, Vietnam, use the color revolution in Cambodia as the biggest anti-Vietnam force in Cambodia? How ridiculous. This only benefits one country. That is the United States. For them, this is killing two birds with one stone.
