  1. You know I want to believe this meme but the fact is that China has dominated Vietnam for over a thousand years

  2. Vietnam has never been warm with China Vietnam has a past history of being dominated by China for a collective of over a thousand years Granted those 1,000 years were broken with interruptions and rebellions but China would always establish domination again the longest time that China had dominated over Vietnam was a period of about 500 years from 43AD to 544 China with then dominate Vietnam again for about 300 years from 602 to 905

  4. That is not true at all Ukraine never had the ability to utilize those nuclear weapons all they had was physical control they never had any launching capability the codes and the orders to do so were kept within the Kremlin and the Soviet Union and the inheritor nation russia Ukraine's government already realized this in the 1990s which is why they negotiated to have those returned to Russia because there was no way that the Ukrainian government could utilize them as a means of preventing any type of conventional invasion

  7.  @nativepinoyviands  don't get me wrong I'm not cheering on the Chinese in 600AD for conquering Vietnam I only said what I did to help illustrate why the Vietnamese hate the Chinese so much and to try and shed some light on the myth of vietnamese "invincibility" Because the collective 1000 years of Chinese dominance is very much still remembered by the Vietnamese people but foreigners who discuss Vietnam never seem to talk about it

  8.  @mykolakalnichenko530  that's correct, the Soviet Union never gave the Ukrainian government the means to independently launch those nuclear weapons All codes to commence a launch were kept within the capital Moscow and never given out to any of the Soviet satellite states Which again is the reason why the government ok Ukraine wanted to remove those missiles ASAP as soon as they got independence in 1991 and by 1994 it was done

  9.  @postit5725  but the Chinese conquered Vietnam 4 times

That is also not true Vietnam has been China's beeeotch for over a collective of a thousand years the longest time that Vietnam was under the Dominion of China uninterrupted was about 500 years and that was from 43AD–544 But later China would put down that uprising and resume domination over it for another 300 years from 602–905
