"What is this alliance": Vietnam reacts negatively to words about the purpose of the appearance of a US Navy destroyer south of Ho Chi Minh City

73

On the eve of the "Military Review" reported how the American warship "John McCain" appeared in the waters south of Vietnamese Ho Chi Minh. At the same time, the American military command explained the maneuvers of the US Navy destroyer as follows: "These are steps to challenge the excessive Vietnamese claims to the water area south of the port of Ho Chi Minh." The US also added that it "provided security for civilian shipping," without specifying how Vietnam is interfering with this shipping today.

Meanwhile, such statements by US Navy officials and the very appearance of an American destroyer near the Con Dao Islands are being commented on in Vietnam itself. Words about "excessive Vietnamese claims to the waters south of Ho Chi Minh City" caused a negative reaction among the Vietnamese.



It is noted that "it is necessary to draw conclusions about the friends and enemies of Vietnam" against the backdrop of events near Con Dao. At the same time, the emphasis is placed on the following episode: at the moment when the American destroyer "took steps to challenge Vietnamese claims," ​​the Indian Navy ship "Kiltan" delivered tons of humanitarian aid to the Vietnamese port of Nha Rong (still in Ho Chi Minh City). This is humanitarian aid to the regions of Vietnam affected by the floods and pandemic.

Also ships of the naval fleet Vietnam conducted two-day maneuvers in the South China Sea together with the ships of the Indian Navy.

In Vietnam, Indian aid was appreciated:

The Indian Navy is delivering humanitarian aid to our people, and the US, calling itself our ally, is staging a demonstration of military might off our shores. What is this alliance ...

      There, the whole question is about money, the resort area of ​​Vietnam is in great demand among US citizens, brings Vietnam a good income and investments for its development. Ideologically, Vietnam and the United States, as they were opponents, remain so.
      It is also worth considering the rather difficult relationship between Vietnam and China, multiplied by territorial disputes, the last war between them was in 1979.
      From here it is not clear what the Mattress Makers really wanted to achieve? It is clear that they achieved nothing except "irritation".

        Natural reaction. Only 45 years have passed since the end of the war, and the memory has remained.



        Perhaps some forces in Vietnam itself wanted a different reaction from society, but the mass of still living veterans and victims of American aggression will not, at least for now, fulfill such desires.

        This EM URO was named after two other McCains - his grandfather and father, admirals, WWII participants (grandfather fought on aircraft carriers, father - on submarines). However, dad managed to be noted in the Vietnam War.

      Soldiers poke me in the back
      My life is hanging by a thread.

      "Who is the pilot who shot me down?" -
      One Vietnamese I asked
      Answered me that slant that he commanded the interrogation:
      "Our pilot Li Si Tsin shot you down"

      It is you, the Vietnamese, lying for nothing
      I clearly heard in the headset:
      "Kolya, press, and I'll cover!"
      "Vanya, hit, and I'll cover!"
      Russian ace Ivan hit me

      Somewhere far away in native Texas
      At home, my father and mother are waiting for me
      My "phantom" exploded quickly in the sky blue and clear
      I can't see you anymore

    They evaluate and react not to words, but to social facts: actions and their (possible) consequences.

    Ho Chi Minh City in a coffin no longer knows which side they are turning over, so it spins like a squirrel in a wheel in the name of Vietnamese-American friendship

    Slightly "against the grain", at once on the B-52 will fly ... It was already.

    Vietnam ... From 1965 to 1973 they were hollowed out, hollowed out. Thanks to the USSR and China, they didn't finish. But since 2017, the United States is again an ally and the foundation of defense cooperation is the coincidence of interests of the two countries. It's ridiculous that to screw up China, they conclude agreements with the shittest ally possible, and then they are surprised at the actions of the United States.
