The South Vietnamese didn't have quite the heroic view of North Vietnam that you do. Vietnam was a dirty little war because both sides were dirty.

@theoneaboveall1455 The United States and Vietnam have signed a mutual defense aid treaty. Plus the United States has helped with environmental clean up connected with the war. The past is not the direction Vietnam wants to go,

@xueueux Many people of South Vietnam wanted nothing to do with Communism or what North Vietnam was offering. The war was a dirty little war like most wars are but the fatal flaw was the United States should have done what was done in World War 2 with Germany and Japan. Just level the place. By not doing this, it allowed the war to go on and on. When Richard Nixon started carpet bombing North Vietnam, the country started showing real interest in peace talks. Unfortunately the bombings were stopped and that allowed North Vietnam to just play peace talks.

@xueueux "So which "vietnam" do you mean US have signed the "mutual defense aid" with?" I was speaking of post war. That should be pretty evident since I used the word "Vietnam".

Cuba is where it is because it has nothing to sell. It is a welfare state and at one time Russia's welfare state until Russia had enough of them.

But Communism was sold as for the good of the people. And they killed people who said Communism doesn't seem to be so good after all.

Hahahaha... I think that guy said something that made people like you realize maybe you're not such great people after all. Compared to many parts of the world Europe can be a garden. And people like you wish your countries were more like Europe.

@victorweiss427 When the United States was formed, every other place was a colony of another country. Not to mention the United States was the only country that has America in it's name.

@Africanchild825 There have been a variety of activities going on between the United States and Vietnam over the past several years. New generations have set aside the past. Many Vietnamese that have come to the United States have done well in America and no doubt use their influence to help develop relations between the 2 countries.

"and then sucks all the resources out, like in Syria, Iraq" Really? What resources? List them.

The famines in the Soviet Union were in reality executions controlled by Stalin, The last great Chinese famine was orchestrated by Mao. Executions by the left total around 100 million people world wide. The scholarly authors of this paper ignore India had famines just like China and famines did not end just because he British dropped by and said hello. I think the numbers might be a bit dubious and these numbers are pulled out of thin air. Both Hickel and Sullivan appear to be the usual Left wingers that suggest you live too good and praise the downward mobility movement.
