Man, this was hard to watch. At first it was really fun watching her dunk on Vaush but then she segues into talking about Vietnam and Agent Orange and damn, it's hard stuff.

    Yeah she went off on that too - Western leftists/liberals (+ media) will constantly talk about how various Socialist countries (like Vietnam) failed or aren't socialist or whatever, without actually ever talking about why things are the way they are - they'll mention Vietnam allowing Western capital into the country and using that to condemn socialism/communism. But they'll never mention the IMF, the World Bank, the US sanctions etc that led them to that point.

      If V*ush was consistent with his beliefs, he would love Vietnam because they go to great lengths to encourage cooperatives, which is basically his short-term prescription for the US.
