Pompeo - DPRK: Vietnam is friends with the United States and thriving, and you? ..

US Foreign Minister Mike Pompeo, who is visiting Hanoi, commented on the US-DPRK relationship. According to Pompeo, Pyongyang is on the verge of making an important decision.

US Secretary of State:

The Vietnamese experience should help the North Korean authorities to make such a decision. Vietnam turned the page storieswhich was a conflict with the United States, and now this country has come to prosperity. North Korea has that chance. They need to use.

Pointing indirectly to the DPRK leader Kim Jong Ynu, Pompeo said that he should "seize the moment."

Recall that the main goal of US foreign policy towards Pyongyang is to ensure that the DPRK abandons nuclear weapons. Pyongyang has already taken quite a few steps, including an important step towards the elimination of nuclear test sites. weapons. However, last weekend, the North Korean authorities threatened to halt the process of denuclearization due to the fact that the United States, for its part, does not always comply with the guarantees.

Also in the DPRK, it is noted that the United States unilaterally decided to withdraw from the so-called Iranian nuclear deal, although Tehran strictly complied with all the written requirements by opening the facilities for the IAEA mission.

For reference: relations between the US and Vietnam began to improve economically, but the US clearly does not leave attempts to change the ideological foundations of this state that professes socialist principles in Vietnam.

So Vietnam has a lot of experience communicating with the United States .... You will not wish the enemy ...

Pompeo - DPRK: Vietnam is friends with the United States and thriving, and you? ..

North Korea also "was friends" with the United States, even before Vietnam began to "be friends" ...

The United States understands friendship in its own way, slavery is this, not friendship.

Vietnam lived as it was without them, while not mentioning the countries that they gouged, where they are in the category of unsuccessful experiences?))

Hello Victor.
Regarding the belief in the "friendliness" of America, American Paul Roberts spoke well (neither add nor turn down):

Perhaps, in order to strengthen friendly relations, now the DPRK and Vietnam should bomb the territory of the USA, spray "oranges", spray with napalm, burn hundreds of villages and towns (a couple with residents)?

[siberalt]

Millions of “prosperous” Vietnamese are forced to earn a living in exile around the world and in the United States. Does Pompeo really know no such well-known facts?

I wonder who is behind the cancellation of debts, preferably with a list of all comrades

[Sarmat Sanych]

Firstly, what we paid is a couple of orders less than what we wrote off, and secondly, you do not quite understand the issue. For example, write-offs to Iraq and Syria, only part of the debt was written off, and part was invested in projects of Russian companies in these countries, namely Russian Railways, Lukoil, Gazprom, Tatneft, etc. A similar situation is with Mongolia and Cuba.

[Imobile]

I specifically searched for the information that you indicated. I didn’t find anything, moreover, from the markets that you indicated “shoved us out”, and some of you really started to sell (the nuclear industry) and you won’t believe it, again on credit and already written off part! And it’s better not to talk about the part, because when 99% is debited, 1% can no longer be part. Cuba immediately after writing off from the United States began to embrace, Vietnam, too. By the way, we quarreled over Vietnam over China.

[Mountain shooter]

Stripes think Vietnam forgot? In vain they think so . These guys remember a thousand year history. And US aggression - they generally have it "yesterday" ... It’s just that the Americans completely do not understand the eastern mentality. And ostentatious politeness is mistaken for love! Naive

[svp67]

Pompeo - DPRK: Vietnam is friends with the United States and thriving, and you? ..

Here's how to wishful thinking. Vietnam was friends with the United States and paid for by civil war, military defeat and mass emigration. And present-day Vietnam is simply COOPERATING with the USA.

[meandr51]

It is precisely because of this that it cooperates because before that it threw out the arrogant, stupid, but cunning Yankees from its territory. Probably Korea should do this. And only then - to cooperate.
After all, the United States does not surround Vietnam with its troops: they have a thin gut against Vietnam. While Korea suffers them, it will remain a "hot spot".

[parusnik]

Vietnam turned the page of history on which there was a conflict with the USA, and now this country has come to prosperity.

.... Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, identity turned the page of history, but prosperity is not visible ... And well done Americans, Vietnam attributed the successes to themselves ..

[polpot]

Vietnam needs “Friendship” from USA; “Love” with China no more

Yes, he knows everything, he knows about the millions of “prosperous” Mexicans near the USA ...

Mexico's GDP is not much less than Russian (15 and 6 places in the world, respectively)
And in the USA they run because it’s better there.

[taiga2018]

Quote: Normal ok

And in the USA they run because it’s better there.

so I’m talking about the same thing, it should be a shame when you have such a poor country near you that is very friendly to the USA, although according to Pompeo’s logic it should seem to flourish so that people don’t run to where it’s better ...

[AlexanderVP]

The DPRK immediately made a mistake with a friend, if they had chosen correctly, they would have lived like South Korea, and would not have been impoverished on the sidelines of history.

[Strashila]

"The DPRK immediately made a mistake with a friend, they would have chosen correctly - they would have lived like South Korea" ... no ... cannot live, who does not exist.

[meandr51]

If they hadn’t “made a mistake,” they would have died in the war with China in the 50s. Americans would throw all Koreans and Japanese to China. Only the division of the country and a good blow to the nose of the American "peacekeepers" helped maintain a precarious peace in the area.

[Kostadinov]

Vietnam flourishes because the US was defeated there and could no longer shit. Pompeo, a modest person, does not want to show how the states where the USA has triumphed are Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya.

[Strashila]

Yugoslavia add ... the most significant.

[Imobile]

Yugoslavia is impossible, after the overthrow of Milosevic there was such a jump in welfare that it would spoil any statistics for “urapatriots”.

Until 1997, Serbia’s GDP went up quite confidently under Milosevic, then the conflict, the war with NATO — what a well-being.

[Imobile]

Where did it go? In the middle, it’s just Milosevic. And this is in the first part of GDP with military equipment, that is, the personal wealth of each Serb has grown even steeper

[AlexanderVP]

Quote: Imobile

Where did it go?

From 1993 to 1996. Isn’t it visible?
1996 is the year of the beginning of the armed conflict with Kosovo.

[Imobile]

On July 15, 1997, Slobodan Milosevic was elected president of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY).
With any attempt to explain, the graph is “trampling” “urapatriots”

[AlexanderVP]

Quote: Imobile

July 15, 1997 Slobodan Milosevic was elected President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY)

Yeah, only now he was the President of Serbia from 1991 to 1997

[Imobile]

Yeah, the schedule is noticeable.

[AlexanderVP]

Quote: Imobile

Yeah, the schedule is noticeable.

Noticeable if not to be stubborn. From 93 to 96 good growth. In 96, the conflict in Kosovo begins and before 2000 there is a war. So, the reason is in the war, not Milosevic.

[Imobile]

And why did it fall to 93 so rapidly? And with him, growth was on the verge of stomping on the spot, with growth being due to increased defense spending, the welfare of the people was falling. In any case, your answer does not explain the rapid growth after the overthrow.

[rotmistr60]

Vietnam turned the page of history on which there was a conflict with the USA, and now this country has come to prosperity. North Korea has a chance

Usas out of habit try to banally buy loyalty and obedience. But Vietnam is still not thriving, and loyalty to the United States is based on a younger and not remembering the war leadership and the desire to use the Americans in their interests. And Kim Jong-un already realized that the Americans are trying to drag him into their trap, so, according to media reports, he began to shoot.

[AlexanderVP]

The United States clearly does not abandon attempts to change the ideological foundations of this state professing socialist principles in Vietnam.

Can you give an example?
In fact, the United States does not care about any ideological principles, while the country makes a fuss with them. Just a business, nothing personal.
Just the opposite situation is observed, after the collapse of the USSR, the entire former social. the camp gave the tear towards capitalism and the West, only the heels sparkle.

[meandr51]

Well, except for the priority of profit and political dictatorship as ideology, then of course. The United States acts as the leader of a gang in which there is a personal guard, an intellectual center and working "torpedoes". They live a little better than others. (And far from all. For example, Mexico, India, Pakistan, Argentina never conflict with the United States and cooperated with their economic advisers. This did not help them much.) The rest of the US world is not going to accept its gang. Who then rob? So the analogy with the underworld is complete.
For the USA, Russia is like a bone in the throat by its very existence. Therefore, the period of “love and friendship” with her in the 90s they used only for her collapse. Want one more time? Oh well...

[Ros 56]

And how much Russia helped Vietnam, Pompeo forgot, we still have a lot of them, a whole Vietnamese market, they themselves are hiring Russian sellers. Striped believe, doom yourself to poverty and dependence.

[AlexanderVP]

Quote: Ros 56

And how much Russia helped Vietnam Pompeo forgot

What are you talking about? This is geopolitics. The USA helped South Korea and now we can’t be "friends" with it? You have strange thoughts.

[Ivan Ivanov]

In South Korea, the working day until recently was 10-12 hours, the cult of the perfect person (in the summary growth indicates trash), rose due to the political will of the United States and the dictatorship that drove the local business into a state stall.

[Imobile]

At the expense of Russia, the Vietnamese rose

[Altona]

Quote: Vard

So Vietnam has a lot of experience with the United States ...

-----------------------------
Vietnam and China lulu thrust, so that he has two active superpowers, and one by one. Only the Americans dumped, the Chinese pinned down in 1979.

[meandr51]

That's why no one else climbs on it, does not surround bases and aircraft carriers. Not practical. Perhaps geography is on his side.

[Kostadinov]

Quote: Imobile

Yugoslavia is impossible, after the overthrow of Milosevic there was such a jump in welfare that it would spoil any statistics for “urapatriots”.

Yugoslavia can also be added because the US military victory did not work there. Milosevic managed to be removed after the war, but the dominance of US puppets there did not beat for long. And that’s all because the war against Yugoslavia could not be beaten by just bombing.

[NF68]

Has Vietnam really forgotten what “friendship” with the USA can turn into?

[AlexanderVP]

Imobile,
But it’s hard to guess why, after the collapse of Yugoslavia, there was a fall?
And the rest is your wet fantasies.

[Chever]

Vietnam turned the page of history on which there was a conflict with the USA, and now this country has come to prosperity

It smells like a captain. Vietnam does not have nuclear programs. And if they had, then the fate of the DPRK would be waiting for him

[meandr51]

And you smell of perfume from the CIA. If the United States constantly concentrated troops in Thailand and Cambodia, drove AS with nuclear weapons to its shores, and conducted large-scale "exercises" at its borders (as with the DPRK), then Vietnam would have long had both nuclear weapons and missiles. If you didn’t do it yourself, you would buy it. And the United States would expect another shameful defeat.
