      its what happens when you have a media bias in any direction. TBH, Vietnam just plays the middle man card and tries not to get on anyones bad side, because its often the winning option when you arent near the frontrunner.

      Americans seem to be under the impression that Vietnamese people worship them. They like Americans because they keep pandering to the natives more than the diaspora (much to the anger of the economic elite gusanos in the US who do genuinely worship them), and they’re generally “nice” and have a shared dislike of China.

      They’re not stupid enough to believe the US will be a reliable ally in any conflict nor are they interested in being a bulwark. People aren’t oblivious of these neoliberals and their boners for austerity, servitude, condescension, and imperialism
