The ultimate irony would be the US helping Vietnam against China. It could happen 😑

@Krasnoye158 maybe. Although I suspect the US is primarily interested in keeping shipping lanes open and other concerns that would effect it economically. But then look at Ukraine - there isn't any economic interest there and Ukraine has US support. I would bet that if China attacked Vietnam the US might be motivated to help just because Vietnam is a sovereign country defending itself from a much bigger aggressor. Everybody thinks the US is such a bad guy but there are a lot of people in the US that just don't like to see the less powerful nations get pushed around by the big ones. I know we've done bad things too but it's not as simple as some people like to think.

@rejvaik00 good! I hope the US is supporting all the small countries in the region threatened by China

@Krasnoye158 if the US started getting involved where they weren't invited I can assure you that a whole lot of us would be complaining to our representatives. It never turns well for us and all we get out of it is more people that don't like us.

@Krasnoye158 I would hope the US would stay out of it completely. It's a no-win situation with so many countries claiming the same areas. Taking sides would be foolish.

The best outcome for the US would be for the various countries resolved competing claims and unite with the US to resist Chinese expansion. Probably won't happen but I think the goal is fairly straightforward.
