This, I agree, US attack countries like Iraq and Iran based on false accusation is so disgusting.

What the hell does that have to do with what we were just discussing?
.
I said I agreed with you that of a country wants to go nuclear. That's their business. No need to drag anything else up just to agitate

Why US doesn't allow Iraq and Iran to have nuclear weapons? it's their own business isn't it?

Nothing wrong in teaching nasty ones a lesson in humility.

Don't ask me.. I have no power and I can't speak for my government.

I just said I agreed with you didn't I? Those countries should go nuclear for all I care

I have no power over what my country does. Just like you don't. We're just here on a forum chatting.

Right now I am eating sour gummy bears

I didn't blame you, I agree with you and say the US government is so disgusting trying to other countries to develop nuclear weapons.

Asian continent should all help each other.

That’s fantasy only happens in la la land.
Human is not animal. Animal never kills other animal for fun.
The only thing that matters is building a strong economy, strong army.
Otherwise hooligans and rapists coming.

Which is the reason why Vietnam should be armed to the teeth to fend off sny aggressors.

Which is the reason why Vietnam should be armed to the teeth to fend off sny aggressors.

While that sounds good from a far away perspective that would only lead to the whole region becoming armed to the teeth. Traditional enemies of Vietnam will all boost up their militaries like cambodia and thailand etc. Just last year fighting broke out in south east asia and we prefer peace in asia rather than war.

Deadly armed clashes erupted along the Thailand-Cambodia border following a major escalation in July 2025 and a renewed wave of fighting in December 2025. [1, 2]
The conflict involves artillery, rocket fire, landmines, and Thai airstrikes in disputed frontier areas, forcing tens of thousands of civilians to evacuate. [1, 2, 3]

Background and Causes

• • Territory Disputes: A century-old disagreement over overlapping claims near historical sites like the Preah Vihear temple and border demarcations left over from French colonial mapping. [1, 2]
  • Failed Ceasefires: Brief, internationally brokered ceasefires—including an agreement involving Malaysia and the United States—broke down after landmine explosions and renewed military accusations from both sides. [1, 2]
  • Escalation Points: Fighting has spread across multiple border provinces, with both Bangkok and Phnom Penh blaming each other for initiating artillery and drone attacks. [1, 2, 3]

Regional Impact

• • Humanitarian Toll: Tens of thousands of villagers on both sides of the border have fled to temporary evacuation shelters.
  • ASEAN Strain: The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) faces severe diplomatic pressure to mediate, though both nations have often favored direct bilateral postures over external interference. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Some interesting points I agree. However, Vietnam is a sovereign Nation. Has every right to defend itself as you well know. If they wish to arm themselves more than that's up to them.

Of course, every country should strive for independence and freedom and not become a vassal to another.

Vietnam traditionally bought Russian weapons, they refuse to buy American as they know when you buy American weapons, you can only use those weapons against American enemies not your own aka making you into a vassal.

Furthermore Vietnam can not buy all chinese weapons because China, although on friendly terms, may not always have great relations and having full reliance on Chinese tech is not suitable for independence.

Therefore Vietnam is in a tough spot because Russia can not deliver high tech weapons, vietnam can't trust America or China so they have to develop themselves or buy from Europeans if they are willing to sell to a communist state.

Yes, but actually no amount of weapons can protect us, Vietnam’s best defense is neutrality and best relationship to both China and USA.

I understand, Vietnam is walking at delicate balance. It's easy All the way here in the United States to say what I think...

Nonetheless, I wish all the best of Vietnam and hope the USA can help Vietnam in any way possible
