@duongnguyenthai2989 Год назад

Shouldn't have gone to Vietnam in the first place. It was almost the same as Russia and Ukraine nowadays: They made up a government, trying to invade a country using "support" for that government as a claim. In the end they killed vietnamese and commited war crime on the vietnamese civilians, how os that justifiable? I am very anti war and I hate that people in power keep wasting country resources for meaningless conflict. Yet they never learn their lesson. Putin, Zelensky, Nixon, they are all the same.
