Vietnam is a miracle story of a country coming from dynasty wars to colonist oppression to full scale war and self reliance... all the suffering achieve what they've always wanted. Peace, unity, and prosperity for their people and friendship with other nations around the world.
Vietnam is a third world country tho

It’s good that the US and Vietnam has better relationship. As a Vietnamese, we have a saying: forgive but not forget. We look toward a better future but the efforts, deaths, bloods of previous generations cant be forgotten and must be honored. I think it should be the same for American veterans who joined the war. They fought for what they thought were right, and the government told them. They fought for their country. Regardless the sides, we should honor and respect those joined the Vietnam war.
Easy to say than done, and yes I do agreed with you. But the question is, will the white people in general think the same way? I mostly doubt it. White people love killing and wars from generations to generations they will never change and that’s the fact!

As an American I am deeply sorry for the unnecessary War in Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh and the Vietnamese people could have been great allies to America. All we would have had to do was tell the French to get out of Vietnam.
Communism is just a stepping stone for us to liberate our nation from colonialism, if only Mr. Truman understood that 😢😢😢
@@khoabuianh8101 Communism that isn't run by a group of tyrants can actually be quite functional. I think vietnam is a good example of that.
@@aleonyohan6745OH MY FREAKING LORD, I'M PROUD OF YOU AS A VIETNAMESE, YOU'RE AMONG THE MOST EDUCATED AMERICANS I EVER MET
And yea, most communist leaders in our timeline were tyrants, sadly. Which leads to public opinion on communism. We probanly won't have a chance to see a fully functioning communist system.
BRO IM SO PROUD OF YOU 🤧😭 WHAT LED YOU TO EDUCATE YOURSELF AND THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX UNLIKE MOST AMERICANS?!
Well said buddy. You actually have well knowledge

My trip to Vietnam in 2017, was an enlightening and soul refreshing journey...
The country was beautiful and the people were so amazing and accepting.... This journey was one I will always treasure. I hope to return soon 🙂

usa has so much blood on its hands
Ok, mr. silent majority...
I hope you are not questioning my sincerity... Jane Fonda??? I got yer Jane Fonda right here you moron!
I Joined the US Army in 1975 at the age of seventeen. I served my country faithfully for 22 Years and retired in 1997. I have had family members and friends that were wounded and killed in the war.... I served for many years with veterans of that conflict, who hold no ill will towards the people of Vietnam. Where have you served? how many countries and cultures have you been on the ground with? Don't let your your alligator mouth override your crocodile ass!
They like your money. That's all.
I love Vietnam, a beautiful country, i think people are so kind there, I felt the same way with the people from Philippines.
Japan, Germany, now Vietnam . . . the more former mortal enemies we establish firm diplomatic ties and close relations with, the better. Gives me hope for the future.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Britain, Philippines, arguably Mexico, Ukraine, Italy, Austria as well. Looks like Iraq is heading in the same direction.
People are super negative these days, but by and large, the US usually is better at making friends than enemies. Even Russia was becoming a friend after the cold war until a number of unfortunate events began to unfold. Heck, if Kim Jon Il and his successors left power, or there is another revolution in Iran, we would probably become friends with them as well.

My family fought against the Americans for the NVA. I lost my grandparents during Operation Linebacker in Haiphong. I lost uncles during the Tet Offensive. My parents still migrated to the US in the 80s. After visiting the motherland and living there for 3 years, I can safely say that the general public holds almost little to no resentment to the US for the war. Vietnam has a strong growth mindset that has propelled to the status they have now. I just wish Americans shared the same sentiment.
Atheistic Communism has brutally killed tens of millions of people around the world over the last 100 years.
I am sorry for your loss . I think Americans look at Vietnam very differently now . I think most Americans have a positive view of the people of Vietnam . But the truth is Vietnam ranks as one of the lowest for freedom . I wish the people of Vietnam were able to share the same freedoms we have .

I’ve spoken with fellow Americans who travelled to Vietnam and they said your country was a wonderful place to visit. I was initially surprised to hear that, honestly. Like alot of Americans, I assumed it was similar to N Korea.
Love to the Vietnamese from your fellow Americans! , and we apologize for the war. 🇻🇳🤝🇺🇸
As an American in Asia, it's good to see our country build relationships and be friends with other countries who we were at war with just a few generations ago. Japan and Philippines included.
well! I don't agreed. people in the white house just want to contain china.
The mentality in Asia is extraordinary, after everything Americans did in Vietnam, they never really hated Americans for all this, for them it was war, war is finished now let’s move on to a better future and don’t be stuck in the past without forgetting it. A lot of people should take example on those cultures. Seeking revenge or relive the past never brought a brighter future.
@@Sebby6666 Tbh we're a small country blessed (or cursed) with strategic significance and we recognize that if not America then another superpower is going to wage war here and try to control or even swallow us. We accept that fate and are open to being friend with anyone who helps.
War is coming
You're cute
My father fought against the Vietnamese in the war. To this day I cannot understand why. I believe in the general idea that we were against communism. Growing up however what I have seen in the US is alot of hubris that ultimately lead of a great misunderstanding and underestimation of the Vietnamese people. Living here in Houston I am throughly impressed by the hard work, teamwork, and kindness of these people. Instead of bickering along party lines, they decided to move forward as one people. I think the lesson I learned after I read about history and the more recent Chinese war with them is that they just want to be left alone so they can live productive peaceful lives. I choose not to dishonor our US veterans simply because they did mainly what was asked of their goverment, but I think we as Americans made a big mistake in having a war with the Vietnamese. I'm glad we're trying to work things out with them and I would love to visit Vietnam in peace someday.
Your father didn't fought against the Vietnamese, they fought against the Viet Congs. Remember that in the Vietnam War, it's North Vietnam vs. South Vietnam (that's why it's called the Vietnam War, it's not us vs. them, it's they vs. themselves, we're just the allies of one of them) and your father and the USA were allies to South Vietnam which fought against the Viet Congs who had communist control of North Vietnam.
The Vietnam of today is a successful communist country with a positive future.
Propaganda. Dehumanization of the enemy.
Exactly like what we’re doing to Muslims.
yeee Houston is poppin with a lot of viet restaurant/people
@@VOAN The United States attacked Viet Nam as a gateway to taking over Asian countries. The Yanks couldn't conquer the entire country, why there's a North Viet Nam. Americans are still angry at North Korea because they didn't let Americans take over their entire country. The war in Viet Nam forced Washington to remove the military draft, because the war created a new political term for Americans, war for profit.
My cousin is Vietnamese and he was part of a large baby “drop” after the war. He is over 50 and an executive on Wall Street. He is one of the best things that happened to our family. He brought us all closer together. 🤗😘🫶🏼🙏🏻
woopie doo
@froggyvet68 She said he was her cousin, not brother. Her uncle or aunt could have married a Vietnamese, and he was their kid or they could have adopted him.
'Baby Drop' most likely some newborn SOuth VN children brought to the STates to be adopted.@froggyvet68
He’s adopted! After the Vietnam war there were many Vietnamese children and babies that needed parents and a home. The USA had a program to put them for adoption in the USA.
I'm glad! Vietnam is such a beautiful country

Well done Mr. President. I will never understand why we don't deal with Cuba the same way we deal with Vietnam.
George Bush, as C.I.A. head, wanted to attack Cuba so the American gangsters could set up their casinos, drugs and prostitution again. President Kennedy made a deal with Texans to get their vote, being a Catholic when it was said no Catholic could ever become president. When Kennedy called back Bushs' army, they were in boats on their way to Cuba, now called The Bay of Pigs. That's why Texans assassinated Kennedy and his brother, so they could take over the presidency.
Joe didn't do this. China did.
The US gov't would lift the trade embargo against Cuba in a heartbeat if China was going to have a lot of trading and build a military base in Cuba.
@@biennui They do invest in Cuba. Our failed 60 year embargo which poisons our relationships throughout Latin America is frankly stupid at this point. It is against the best interests of the USA to pander to a minority in Miami- Dade county.
Obama tried. But it seems nobody wants to antagonize those old Cubans in Florida.
I have family in Vietnam and its basically impossible for them to come visit us in America not because of cost but because the visa process is very strict just for visitors. I hope soon if relations between the US and Vietnam gets better that they can have the opportunity to be able to visit.
Visit but please return.

The lesson of the Vietnam War for Americans like me, is that we shouldn't let fear control our actions. We invaded Vietnam out of the fear of what communism could do. We had more in common with the Vietnamese people than we knew. Our war was for nothing.
🇺🇲❤️🇻🇳
And now they are not even communist. I mean its just the name. They function like a capitalist state.

Thank you to the Vietnamese people and Vietnam for accepting us. I know we will never be truly forgiven, but hopefully the US can make steps toward rebuilding that trust. We are so sorry for all the pain and suffering our country has caused you. Long Live Vietnam.
My Vietnamese friends told me that they forgive but don't forget, they'll try to be a good friend but they'll also watch their back around the US. I didn't know how to feel about that, but I would probably hurt a lot of a friend of mine said that to me.
They apparently forgot what it is like to be a friend with America
lamo,south vietnamese loves and thankful to american intervention,vietnam war was absolutely a just war
@@arsenalofdemocracy9985 SV was corrupt, I am a pretty sure the south vietnamese who were bombed and agent ornage victims would have disagreed, it was a pointless war.
Vietnamese people forgive but never forget. With a long history full of wars, Vietnamese people are always wary of all super powers, not just US or China.
Vietnamese people always remember that Vietnam is built by Vietnamese ancestors’ blood and tears.
i miss Vietnam already I hope that someday I can go back
The Vietnamese are a lovely people. Our countries should be natural allies.
America had chance for that in 1945, yet they screwed it up by helping France.
China also fears Vietnam. Their soldiers don't even compared to the Vietnamese.
It was stupid how we went to war with them even though it was the French problem.
Selina Wang is an excellent journalist. Vietnam is a gorgeous country too. You should travel there. It’s worth it.
I’m so happy to see the US working with the Vietnamese. When the people’s of our world work together anything is possible. I hope this relationship is mutually beneficial and it stands the test of time.
Shows how pointless the war was.
@@Riley095If won it wouldn’t have been pointless bet SV would of been like SK a powerful and rich ally. Though they lost and the whole country was starving right after the war. Not only that SV would of been a great strategic point for the US.
@psychospartan3007 south Vietnam would not have been like sk or Japan both got rich off of us wars right next to them Japan off korea korea off Vietnam no other governments in the area would have received massive support where economic booms are possible for the allies nearby.
@@Riley095 YA LEFT OUT THE FACTS - - -
Decades back, in late 1972, South Vietnam and the United States were winning the Vietnam War decisively by every conceivable measure. That's not just my view. That was the view of our enemy, the North Vietnamese government officials. Victory was apparent when President Nixon ordered the U.S. Air Force to bomb industrial and military targets in Hanoi, North Viet Nam's capital city, and in Haiphong, its major port city, and we would stop the bombing if the North Vietnamese would attend the Paris Peace Talks that they had left earlier. The North Vietnamese did go back to the Paris Peace talks, and we did stop the bombing as promised.
On January the 23rd, 1973, President Nixon gave a speech to the nation on primetime television announcing that the Paris Peace Accords had been initialed by the United States, South Vietnam, North Vietnam, the Viet Cong, and the Accords would be signed on the 27th. What the United States and South Vietnam received in those accords was victory. At the White House, it was called "VV Day," "Victory in Vietnam Day."
The U.S. backed up that victory with a simple pledge within the Paris Peace Accords saying: should the South require any military hardware to defend itself against any North Vietnam aggression we would provide replacement aid to the South on a piece-by-piece, one-to-one replacement, meaning a bullet for a bullet; a helicopter for a helicopter, for all things lost -- replacement. The advance of communist tyranny had been halted by those accords.
Then it all came apart. And It happened this way: In August of the following year, 1974, President Nixon resigned his office as a result of what became known as "Watergate." Three months after his resignation came the November congressional elections and within them the DEMOCRATS won a landslide victory for the new Congress and many of the members used their new majority to de-fund the military aid the U.S. had promised, piece for piece, breaking the commitment that we made to the South Vietnamese in Paris to provide whatever military hardware the South Vietnamese needed in case of aggression from the North. Put simply and accurately, a majority of Democrats of the 94th Congress did not keep the word of the United States.
On April the 10th of 1975, President Gerald Ford appealed directly to those DEMOCRAT members of the congress in an evening Joint Session, televised to the nation. In that speech he literally begged the Congress to keep the word of the United States. But as President Ford delivered his speech, many of the members of the Congress walked out of the chamber. Many of them had an investment in America's failure in Vietnam. They had participated in demonstrations against the war for many years. They wouldn't give the aid.
@@Riley095 Flashback: Jerry Brown, Biden and other Dems refused to accept Vietnamese refugees
by WorldTribune Staff, January 30, 2017
Some liberal Democrats are fighting back tears when discussing President Donald Trump’s travel ban on Muslims from seven nations.
But in 1975, leftist Dems went to great lengths to keep Vietnamese refugees (even orphans) out of the United States.
During his first stint as governor, Jerry Brown fought to stop Vietnamese refugees from being delivered to California. /AP
Trump issued the order, the White House said, so that a better system to vet refugees coming from those nations can be put into place.
The DEMOCRAT complaints in 1975 appeared to center on the fact that the refugees were escaping communism, an ideology, analysts say, liberals did not find that objectionable.
Leading the effort to ban the Vietnamese refugees was California’s Gov. Jerry Brown. Other prominent DEMOCRATS calling for the ban were Delaware’s Sen. DEMOCRAT JOE BIDEN, former presidential “peace candidate” George McGovern, and New York Congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman. National Public Radio host Debbie Elliott retraced Brown’s refusal to accept any refugees in a January 2007 interview with Taft. According to a transcript, which was aired on its flagship program, “All Things Considered,” Taft said, “our biggest problem came from California due to Brown.” She called his rejection of Vietnamese refugees “a moral blow.”
Taft recalled another reason liberals opposed the refugees: “They said they had too many Hispanics, too many people on welfare, they didn’t want these people.” Then-Sen. JOE BIDEN tried to slow down the refugee bill in the Senate, complaining that he needed more details about the quickly unfolding refugee problem before he would support it. He said the White House “had not informed Congress adequately about the number of refugees,” according to the Library of Congress history of the legislation.
As an American we were in the wrong when we invaded Vietnam its truly a wonderful country.
Invaded? US never invaded VN. The NVA was one invaded the south.

Brings a tear to my eye
In Vietnam is called the American war. It’s interesting that the reporter doesn’t know that.
She's just a News reporter, not a historian
As an American, whether you’re left or right, this is absolutely a net positive
Vietnam has 4 levels or tiers of cooperation with countries abroad. The number 1 tier is that of special recognition, and applies to Cuba and Laos. The US has been elevated to the second tier, which Russia and China also hold.
The fact their highest international partnership is with Cuba illustrates why the US wanted to fight for Vietnam… doesn’t excuse the failures of those wars but highlights the reason it made sense to do something.
During the CIA’s covert war in Laos, the US dropped over 2 million tons of munitions, making Laos the most bombed country in the world. The bombing campaign ran from 1964-1973 and equates to a plane load of bombs every 8 minutes, 24 hours per day, for 9 years…..The CIA overthrew the S Vietnamese government on Nov 2, 1963.
We Vietnamese regularly call ourselves Eastern Laotians just so we can share our Laotian brothers burden. That, along with many other aids.@@kevinjenner9502

"I love Vietnam and I love the United States of America, after the war end, I wish two countries will become friends and co-operate closely." A famous Vietnamese spy Pham Xuan An said and many many people who left their body here also wish the same. God bless 2 countries 🇻🇳🇺🇲
Wow, such an amazing segment. To truly have all that perspective after all that endured suffering is truly remarkable. Contrast that with elsewhere in the world. Truly remarkable and truly inspiring. No wonder the veterans ended up respecting that country.
My grandfather died in the Tay Ninh battlefield (near Saigon) in 1972 serving in the North Vietnamese army. To this day, his body has not been found. This is the biggest pain for our family. .Currently, my grandmother has passed away. The house only has certificates of merit from the Provisional Government of the Republic of South Vietnam and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam awarded to him for his resistance against the Americans to liberate the South. , unifying the Fatherland. For our young generation born after the war, we have heard bad things about the United States 20 years ago but now things are much better. In our eyes, United States and Vietnam are currently countries with good relations, comprehensive cooperation in the fields of economics, politics and society. I also like the United States very much and hope to visit one day. This beautiful country. Closing the past and looking forward to the future.
In the Army when I was stationed in Camp Kasey South Korea, we had a beautiful Vietnamese soldier in our company, she was so gorgeous and extremely smart and classy but she was taken by a good man from a previous unit and was rock solid devoted to him but man I'll never forget her. I'd love to go to Vietnam and try my luck there one day now that I'm a civilian again.

@@Tearakiss dude, don't act like a pimp.
My former father-in-law fought for the NVA before being captured by the Americans. My dad was stationed near Long Binh during the war. Father in law now living in US near his granddaughter (my daughter). Being married to a North Vietnamese helped to expand my perspective on that war. My point? Idk. Figured I'd just share this.
This underscores a problem facing the anti-Western powers. The population of a modern state tends to chafe under a totalitarian regime. As these countries attain first world quality of life, individuals generally want to control their own possibilities.
As a Vietnamese, I can say 100% all Vietnamese people don't hold a grudge against American. We all know US is the land of many opportunities and lawful. Whereas in Vietnam, you have to buy your way into a good job. E.g you have to pay someone inside 20K usd to work as a Customs and Border officer. And when driving, you don't know when you are going to get pull over for a bs violation. You have to pay the traffic officer on the spot for them to let you go. They don't know it, but corruption is what bring the country down.
Vietnam so seriously about Corruption problem,that's why no corruption much in Vietnam liKe the us
Excellent job Prez. I 💗the Vietnamese people.
Cảm ơn bạn . Chúa sẽ yêu thương và phù hộ cho bạn và gia đình bạn
Your words are inspiring
If I was Joe Biden, I probably wouldn’t apologize either the reason I say that is because even if you say that we are sorry for what pain and heartbreak we have caused you that doesn’t mean anything really the damage is already done. You can’t say sorry as if you can take it back. You can make it right without saying sorry I have caused you so much pain America’s cost you so much pain.
But by your actions, and how you go forward is what makes an apology less worth saying because like when I have a bad day or and I am being inappropriate I often don’t apologize because I can’t take it back. It just makes me feel terrible whenever I apologize because I already feel bad so I don’t feel an apology can really fix what happened you know
But actions and the fact that you recognize that, and you are kind and caring afterwards. Actions speak louder than words sometimes and.
But at any moment, if the international relation changes, the US always has the ball to throw any country into the trash bin even its own allies. The action truly shows how the US is.
How many countries can say they’ve been visited 6-7 times by US presidents .
Vietnamese people are cool! 😊
Their big Chinese and Russian brothers are still watching on their comrades in Hanoi, that's the reason why the Vietnamese CP is not able to distinguish between the country's future and their surviving
Well said
becuz we don’t want to be the next ukraine
Chinese brothers? The Chinese attacked Vietnam right after the US did.
The problem is, Vietnam knows that and uses USA to counter their aggression, so that they wouldn't do anything stupid. China and Russia needs Vietnsm.
Anybody for a moment thought it was Trump in the thumbnail?

For a more authentic experience, I recommend checking out places other than the main cities like Hanoi and Saigon.
Thank you China for creating new allies among former enemies.
And thank you Russia for making NATO stronger than it ever was 🙏
Good relationships are priceless in building a better future
It’s good that the US and Vietnam has better relationship. As a Vietnamese, we have a saying: forgive but not forget. We look toward a better future but the efforts, deaths, bloods of previous generations cant be forgotten and must be honored. I think it should be the same for American veterans who joined the war. They fought for what they thought were right, and the government told them. They fought for their country. Regardless the sides, we should honor and respect those joined the Vietnam war. Thanks DUC DUNI for your post. You are so very intelligent and move forward looking at the good future for Vietnam.
"I love Vietnam, a beautiful country, i think people are so kind there, I felt the same way with the people from Philippines". I fully agreed with rzor1911. Thanks for your complements and very beautiful thought about Viet Nam, My country.
This is wonderful, this is how humanity moves forward. Yes, bad things happed in the past. Many people lost their lives on both sides. It's okay to acknowledge it and remember it but the only way to make progress is to move forward. The U.S. and Japan did it and together helped build each other up through peace. Countries like North Korea, China, Russia, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, are stuck in the past and only deal in division and destruction. At some point the older communist generation will wither away and the younger with kinder eyes will take over. This is by far the best thing Biden has done.
US-Vietnam will always be the example that we should point to whenever someone says there's no peaceful solution. There always is, you just need to have the determination to pursue it, using force is the easy and lazy way that never works.
Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and now Palestine seem to disagree with your rosy view of America.
Idiot
Its the US who always gets involved in wars or start a war. No such thing as perfect govt. Not any govt is closed to perfection. If there are no killings in streets, classrooms, no muggings then they have huge plus points to perfection. US never had this.

Thats crazy.
ho chi minh said he was tired of his country being run and colonized by other countries (france, japan, and usa). So he created vietnamese unity and form the communist party to fend out Western ideals. He wanted the Vietnamese to run their own country. He doesnt want foreigners running vietnam for him.
It's Vietnamese Commie propaganda and deception that many naive Westerners bought line and sinker. Commie Chinese puppet Hu Kwan aka Ho Quang aka Ho Chi Minh was first and foremost a Communist, not nationalist. That's why he was active in French Communist Party during his time in France in 1920's, and later active in Russian/Soviet Communist Party in 1920's and 1930's, and active member of Chinese Communist Party in 1940's, long before he first contacted Truman in 1946. Not to mention Ho was an impostor assumed by multiple subversive Communist revolutionaries from Commie nations, one Nguyen Ai Quoc died in Hong Kong prison in 1932, another (Ho Quang) later revealed as Commie Chinese Intelligence officer (even later confirmed by Commie China), etc. Truman likely deemed the risk to trust Commie Ho was too high, and Ho's multiple personalities were probably too much of a clown show for Truman to take. At the end of the day though, it was Ho who became Commie China's puppet and sold Vietnam to Commie China by taking Commie China's blood flag (current red flag with central yellow star) from Fújiàn province to his Pac Bo cave in 1941 and eventually replace the national flag of Vietnam of 4000 years (yellow flag with 3 horizontal red stripes) with it, while his traitorous minion Pham Van Dong played his part in selling Vietnam's islands and maritime areas to Commie China in his 1958 covenant to Zou Enlai. All true. Do your research.

the best comment so far
He was actually a China and Russia's dog. A mass murderer. The worst criminal in Vietnam's history.
Vietnam and Americans should be friends. There's been enough war between us, let's make peace.
I assure you this is just the opinion of one man. Most of Vietnam are not looking for an apology for what happened. We are not victims and we never will have that mentality.
2:17 Việt Nam luôn muốn làm bạn với tất cả quốc gia trên thế giới. Không phải đi lập liên minh với Mỹ để chống lại mối đe dọa của Trung Quốc nhé
It's an advantage for both. I hope their relationship will be stronger.
3:55 "I love movies" :3
what about the 58000 soldiers who never got back home?
amen
what about 3000000 Vietnamese who died in the war?
*Biden's smile @**2:05** so sneaky 🤭*
what’s sneaky about it ?
he’s not planning a coup like our last president did at least
Biden is that one creepy uncle at every family event.
Joe didn't do this. China did.
I was part of a diplomatic operation to send an American War Plane to Vietnem...this year. It was done to strengthen our ties. It put joy in my heart to know I could aid in this effort. I see it as my own gift of trust to Vietnam and theirs to me allowing us to do it. 4 A-10C's to Vietnam, with love.
American skating right before the Lenin statue, what a scene.
LOL
Just hope this doesn’t mean jobs go abroad like it does so often. Friendship is a good thing. Continuously eroding our industrial base is just plain stupid. Covid showed us why we need to control certain aspects of our supply chain.
Vietnam will mostly be taking the manufacturing jobs from China. The US has been a service economy for decades now, other than things built for the US government. AI and automation will more likely replace the jobs within the US.
@@ap774 Not completely accurate. America is experiencing a huge return of factory jobs. Hopefully it will continue. It was stupid not to protect them in the first place.
if anything, it's the opposite, Vietnamese VinFast opened factories on US soil and hire Americans. Spread the knowledge and support them!
@@user-wh6dn9sx3n I think that's great. But I know how things go. Companies don't want to pay. That's why they are touting a new cooperative effort with India. It's always about cheap labor and relaxed work rules. I'm not blaming foreign countries, I'm blaming politicians and greedy corporations that want to sell it back home in America. If we aren't worthy of a living wage then keep your products.
Or many the rust belt states need to diversify and come up with other ideas then the steel industry that has withered that part of the country.
I want to visit ❤
God bless the eternal paradise of Vietnam. We love you forever. Peace Love Bliss Nirvana Forever

And they say America lost😂. Few years later Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria will do the same. I noticed that America do not fight to win, they just show up to show American way of life and walk away 😂😂leaving those countries to figure out.
Vietnam figured out and now they know what America was fighting for.
You were defated in Vietnam just like you were defated and withdrawn from Afghanistan. This is the truth. Nobody wants to work for companies like capitalist America or dedicate their lives to companies.
Lol, interesting idea.
You are so right. The Vietnam of today is a successful communist country with a positive future.
We won't get the Middle East back again because they're idiots busy snagging goats
The “Afghanistan Papers” 20 years of public lies/20 years of private truths….The Us Invasion of Iraq was declared illegal by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan on Sept 15, 2004.::In violation of International Law and the UN Charter. Obama’s illegal CIA regime change, proxy war in Syria. (CIA Operation “Timber Sycamore” 2012-2017)
Cháu Xin chào bác HUỆ. Cháu cảm ơn bác HUÊ nhiều ạ
…and yet we have many Spanish people in US that’s been here many generations but refused to learn English. Go figures .
Vietnam numba One
...
Good job Joe this is some good news.
What ? He wants President Biden to say Sorry ? 😂
Look how weak we look with him representing us
but still, our Vietnam have always been in neutral. We DON'T choose side, we choose Justice and Moral
But we still don't have normal relations with Cuba. Stupid. Normalize relations and trade and regime change will occur.
*Cuba is not right next to China 🤭 and nothing to do with our goal of prevent Asian Century 🤭*
maybe we should start with lifting sanctions from Cuba? Americans are intolerant of the communist way of life
Vietnam wants good relations with the us. Cuba doesn’t.
That's what we thought China would do when we started trading with them..
Vietnamese are very nice people.
My grandfather came home after the war and lost most of his memories. Couldn't remember his own children's' name.
His younger brother sadly couldn't make it home. 8 years ago, our family found his body parts along side a river, ~1000 km away from home.
Another brother of him who fought and bravely scarified his life to protect the very same hill that every person in my hometown climes it everyday for exercise. I live on the street that was named after him.
It's unfortunate that both side has lost so much due to this nonsense war, and I do hope that we at least learn a thing or two from it.
Tet offensive massacre… was brutal. Tragic..
My Lai massacre was cruel and barbaric. Tragic!
@@angkhoanguyen6114 I get that. So was the Phong Nhị Massacre in Quảng Nam Province. As well. Korea has not made a formal apology yet.
According to a friend of mine who lived in Hanoi during the time the United States dropped bombs on Hanoi, these were the places where anti-aircraft missiles were placed to shoot down American planes, so American pilot looked out for them, see and return fire at ground targets .
The Vietnamese, both north and south, love the USA, so let’s leave the war behind us and move on.
Already moves on ages ago. That said, We forgive but will never forget
We lost the war but won the peace.
It sounds like capitalism and entrepreneurship creates change. A growing and educated middle class will eventually erode communism.
More like nationalism create stability mindset and yearn for prosperity. Vietnam existed as a nation and civilization 4000 years before communism.
This might not be food for the Vietnamese people, if america and Vietnam does more business, the Vietnamese communist party will get richer and stronger, it will be like china all over again. Once a country has more money to hire more police and soldiers, its citizens can never take it down since soldiers need to make money and they worked hard to get that position.
This report is not accurate. It’s a complex history between Vietnam and the USA. we can all agree that Vietnam has a deep respect for the usa sovereign and freedom and expect the return. Vietnam government and people like to work with the us to keep the region peace and developing a prosperous relationship for both country . Vietnam people only want peace and working heart to put food on the table for the children
That reporter looking like a hot bowl of pho!
The US was not at war with the country of Vietnam. The south Vietnam and their allies were fighting against the communist North Vietnamese and their allies. North Vietnam’s communist allies turned on them almost, as soon as, the US forces left.
Thế Mỹ sang Việt Nam để đi du lịch à 😏
Definitely didn’t go to stay.
Vietnam is a colony of France, the Battle of Dien Bien Phu ended, France withdrew, America brought troops to invade Vietnam with its allies! It must be said that America is the next evolution of France....
Communism helped us Vietnamese escape from the French colony and rule for decades. The battle of Dien Bien Phu in the air forced the French to retreat back to the country... America must be called the next development. According to France, America jumped in to invade and control South Vietnam, along with Vietnamese henchmen in the South established by France, wanting to turn our country of Vietnam into two parts, two different regimes.
The US were not trying to colonize Vietnam. That was likely propaganda. The US tried to get the world to abandon colonialism after WW2, but France was one of the countries that refused for some time.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I hope to visit Vietnam 🇻🇳 someday ❤.
very intelligent man that was interviewed.

Người Việt Nam luôn tôn trọng người Mỹ vì người Mỹ đã làm cho đất nước họ hùng cường. Và người dân chúng tôi luôn hướng tới điều tốt đẹp ở phía trước - đó là đức tính quí giá mà không phải dân tộc nào cũng có được.
Nói về cuộc chiến Việt - Mỹ: Chúng ta phải thừa nhận, mọi cuộc chiến đều xuất phát từ mục tiêu và quyền lợi của chính quyền gây chiến (tất nhiên có thể đúng hoặc sai....). Và giờ đây Việt - Mỹ xích lại gần nhau vì chúng ta có cùng chung kẻ thù và cùng chung mục đích. Đó là sợi dây thắt chặt quan hệ giữa 2 chúng ta! Vận mệnh chung của chúng ta phải bằng mọi cách làm cho dân tộc mình được sống trong hoà bình ấm no và hạnh phúc.
Người Việt Nam cũng làm cho Việt Nam của họ đất nước hùng cường
Trung Quốc cay cú khi Việt Nam với Mỹ ký đối tác chiến lược toàn diện
