US Warship to visit Vietnam

news.bbc.co.uk...


The war finally seems to be over.
If Vietnam is allowed to start using it's economic potential all signs point to it becoming a major force in the Far East.

It will be interesting to view China's reaction to this visit. China is not a close ally to Vietnam and with the US cosying up, it will open a major strategic door in the region.

""The Vietnamese now feel comfortable enough to share their strategic concerns with the United States - that means China," Nayan Chanda, editor of Yaleglobal Online Magazine, told BBC News Online.
China is now a regional superpower and an old rival of Vietnam, so Hanoi's relationship with the United States gives it a potential ally in the region to offset Chinese influence."

The world is going to hell, and Im not even driving the Bus!

WE bomb them into oblivion. They kill 58 k of our guys. We kill a few million of thiers. Now were shaking hands? What the mother # is wrong with this picture?

What about the POW MIA still lost to us over there?

Good move whitehouse.

Keep those Chinese in your sights and don't turn your back on them.

My dad fought in 'Nam and is perfectly comfortable with making friends with them and getting on with life. I whole heartedly support this. No good can come from holding a grudge......besides they are the ones who were invaded by the US.

I dont agree with the Vietnamese are rivals of China
their has been tension at times but .
A good friend of mine was Merc Cia in Laos and Cambodia. He documented Chinese troops sent to Vietnam to fight as Vietnamese . But if the general public knew it could have caused a regional escalation .
We should have never been Sucked into that war in the first place Thanks France !
