@KhangXVu Western audiences feel hard to comprehend reality. Most of basic reader prefer black-and-white concepts, who is communists, who is the "bad guy" . And the articles are for them.

As I explain here, there is an analytical obsession with analyzing Vietnamese politics in terms of pro-US and pro-China figures. This obsession is however empirically and methodologically unsupported by primary sources. thediplomat.com/2023/03/the-an…

This report made a huge mistake. It claims that there are "China-friendly" officials in the Vietnamese leadership without naming who they are. "Now, Vietnam is ‌leaning more openly toward Beijing, as China-friendly security figures rise in Hanoi." reuters.com/world/china/ch…

@CardanoMm @stats_feed Dont have to act like a bigot my dear. Is idiom repeat itself every time Vietnam was mentioned. Don't you think it's a bit too much? Don't you have any thing to say?

@stats_feed Hoang sa truong sa belong to viet nam

🇻🇳 The true size of Vietnam

@bill_hayton 350km/h is room for upgrading. Operating speed will be 200-250km/h. You don't have to be skeptical, just 2 years and you will see how it works.

Looks like a strange choice for a high speed line, the train will barely get up to speed before it has to slow down for the next station. Is this just another boondoggle for VinGroup? Siemens should talk to BMW about how VinGroup hacked its systems to try to access the technology

@Ascensionenglsh @SecRubio Oh time does fly my dear... 😅

@SecRubio First you took the L in Iran and now you are celebrating your ex L aka the descendants of Vietcong. What a ‘l’egendary night. 🤣👍

Congratulations to President To Lam and Prime Minister Le Minh Hung of Vietnam. We value our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, built on more than 30 years of cooperation, and look forward to advancing peace, stability, and prosperity together in a free and open Indo-Pacific.

@AnnQuann Jes, the 3rd one have have smoke screen function set at always on. 😂

@Shad0wPatriot @Arrogance_0024 Correct. Iran is desperately seeking for a morale victory. The Americans can't afford it at any cost.

@Arrogance_0024 Your entire premise is flawed. Our enemy, Iran, would have captured, tortured, executed, and paraded these airmen all over town, on TV, and all over social media. The damage that would have been created at home and abroad would be far greater than the loss of these planes.

The "leave no man behind" doctrine is actually a strategic weakness disguised as a virtue. Name one other military on earth that destroys 6 aircraft and fights a ground battle inside a sovereign nation to recover one pilot. You can't. Because no other military confuses tactical sentimentality with strategic logic. Soldiers serve the mission. The mission doesn't serve the soldier. The US has now established that Iran can shoot down an F-15, then watch America spend $300M and expose Delta Force trying to prove it didn't happen. That's not military doctrine. That's politics with weapons. A military that cannot accept the risk of loss cannot win wars. The US hasn't won one since 1945.

@RLee19783678 @Arrogance_0024 Same question, how many Iranian killed & wounded in this extraction. Must be a lot.

@Arrogance_0024 Imagine Caring more about military equipment than the pilots. How French of you. If we are counting though, there are videos of a few dozen dead Iranians on that mountain that US forces engaged and defeated.

Lose all this to rescue 1 pilot and call it your greatest military success of all time.

@EchoOfTruthVN Lần sau nhờ AI nó viết cho uyển chuyển nhé. Văn này khó ngửi quá.

Xót Xa Cho Dân Ta??? Dân Việt Nam cùng nhau trường kỳ kháng chiến, sát cánh cùng tập đoàn khủng bố Iran nghen??? Odin nghe Người Ta nói: "Tụi công an với quân đội chắc đang xót xa kinh khủng lắm. Xót kiểu ngồi trong biệt thự bốn mặt tiền, hồ bơi vô cực lấp lánh ánh đèn LED đổi màu, điều hòa mát rượi 18 độ, rồi thở dài thườn thượt: “Trời ơi, dân mình khổ quá, chắc đang co ro ngoài kia vì giá điện, giá xăng.” Xót tiếp bằng cách nâng ly Macallan 18 năm, gắp miếng cua hoàng đế Alaska to đùng, chấm muối ớt xanh cay xè; vừa nhai vừa lắc đầu thương cảm: “Ăn thế này chắc dân nhìn mà khiếp vía, tội nghiệp chúng nó quá đi mất.” Xót xa kiểu gara để nguyên dãy siêu xe: Lamborghini Aventador, Rolls-Royce Phantom, Bentley Continental GT xếp hàng như xếp mô hình, rồi tự nhủ: “Phải tiết kiệm chứ, mai giảm tải, chỉ chạy mỗi con Maybach với con Porsche thôi, để dân đỡ ghen tị với ‘đảng viên gương mẫu’.” Xót đến mức tối về nằm trên giường king-size Tempur-Pedic nhập khẩu, đắp chăn lông vịt Canada, lẩm bẩm: “Chủ nghĩa xã hội mà, phải sống giản dị; mai họp chi bộ phải tự phê bình vì… giàu quá mức cần thiết.” Thương dân đến rưng rưng, nhưng nước mắt rơi xuống… ly Hennessy XO, rồi lại cụng ly oai hùng: “Vì dân giàu, vì nước mạnh, vì tương lai tươi sáng của chủ nghĩa xã hội khoa học – cạn ly nào, các đồng chí!” Đúng là xót xa theo phong cách cách mạng thời 4.0: xót trong nhung lụa, thương giữa bàn tiệc sơn hào hải vị, đau lòng giữa đống tiền tỉ. Mà thôi, xót thêm tí nữa chắc no quá; phải gọi thêm con tôm hùm Alaska nướng bơ tỏi với đĩa bào ngư sốt trứng muối để… nguôi ngoai nỗi đau mất thôi." #EchoOfTruthVn #Vietnamhelp

@Kyra_Mohsin @FurkanGozukara @grok Feel unfair right? Build your own data center, your own social media and your own AI. If you can't, then don't be salty.

@FurkanGozukara @grok It turns out even the AI has double standards here. Trump and Israel's attack on bridge against Iran aren't considered terrorist acts, but if Iran retaliates, it’s called a terrorist act. Even AI isn't trustworthy here.

Hey @grok is bombing civilian bridge a terrorist act or not?

@BarnCat296656 @KevinCastley A typical view. Trust me bro, I live here.

@KevinCastley Vietnam is much more than a city. Show me the countryside.

Vietnam in American propaganda: jungle, huts, poor Vietnam in reality:

@RealBababanaras Iran said it's used only 5% of missile arsenal in ongoing war because the rest (95%) has been destroyed by the US and Israel 😋

BREAKING : State Media of Iran is claiming that Iran is going to fire large numbers of hypersonic missiles towards Israel and U.S. and its allies security installations in Middle East- Calling it Punishment of Allah. Iran said it's used only 5% of missile arsenal in ongoing war.

@RWApodcast The Russians have lost equipment equivalent to the entire armed forces of several nations combined over the last four years. Now, they cheer when the US loses a single aircraft. How pathetic.

@AdameMedia Nah, doesn't matter, it hurts a bit, but I'm happy because I know some other scums suffer more 😃

The world is burning. We are on the brink of financial ruin. And the clown is dancing.

@AnnQuann The drone won't hover and wait that long. We need something have rapid deployment features. Think of a monopod.

"Aim assist" A member of Vietnam Border Guard revealing his anti-UAV stand designed for STV-215 carbine (7.62x39mm). Supposedly, the stand helps border guards take out drones that illegally breach the border airspace such as those used in criminal activities.

@DavidBarbelo @AlBuffalo2nite Wow, the bomb can only penetrate 20 meters, my bunker is 21 meters deep. There 2 billion dollars weapon is obsolete. How smart I'm I.

Relax. The most powerful bomb in the American military arsenal—the GBU-57A/B—can penetrate less than 20 meters against hi-tech reinforced underground bunkers! Iran’s defenses are hundreds of meters down. Remember: the average Iranian IQ is considerably higher than that of the average American!

🚨 Americans need to understand what it means when the B‑2 Spirit shows up in a war. This aircraft is not used for routine battlefield strikes. It is the aircraft reserved for the most hardened military targets on earth. Underground missile facilities. Strategic command bunkers. Air-defense control networks. Leadership headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. A single B-2 can fly halfway around the planet… slip through advanced radar networks… and deliver bunker-destroying precision weapons capable of collapsing fortified command centers and missile infrastructure. That is why the B-2 exists. Not for spectacle. For the targets that nothing else can reach. So when reports begin circulating that B-2 bombers are striking IRGC infrastructure in Tehran, the message is clear… The focus is not random destruction. The focus is dismantling the command structures and military systems responsible for launching missiles, drones, and proxy attacks across the Middle East. The B-2 is not a blunt instrument. It is a strategic scalpel. And when it appears in a conflict, it means the most important targets on the battlefield are now in the crosshairs. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

@realMaalouf If they go to a Buddhist temple and praise Buddha, no one will bat an eye. We have no tolerance for something we're afraid of.

European school children should not be forced to take trips to mosques and praise Allah! This is abuse!

@MarioNawfal You mean we don't have to use vpn to access BBC and VOA anymore?

Typhoon Yagi aftermath in Hanoi. Haiphong and Quang Ninh were more affected I think. 8 dead. Thankfully it’s over Photos from friends’ Facebook

@jeffreyjamestv Hanoian never take typhoon seriously, except this one 😆, the strongest we've experienced in 30 years.

@AKamyshin Didn't know UA have a prime minister this cool!

534 days ago I was appointed as the Minister. My task was clear: to restart the ministry’s operations according to wartime realities. Today I am stepping down. In 2023, production tripled, and by September 2024, it doubled again. 🧵
