Mate, you're the one that was denigrating ethnic minorities - including the descendants of Chinese immigrants - who were happy to join the US military.

I know it makes you feel better believing the US is so racist hardly anyone from a minority group would choose to join military if they had other options, but that doesn't make you right.

Look, you can believe whatever you like in your head, just park your prejudice when we're talking about people who put their lives on the line for their country, ok?

That is why all the higher officers are minorities... lol. numbers do not lie, poor people join army to earn bread rich people become officers. this is norm and exceptions does not mean any thing. there are many Hispanics, blacks at private level, you will see only a handful at west point. Yes, US establishment is racists.

That doesn't change a bit about the obvious made up narrative of Vietnam being a threat. We are talking about that China here that tried to invade Vietnam for purely geopolitical (read imperialistic) goals in SEA.
You should ask Cambodia how they feel about Vietnamese imperialism. Stop being angry that Vietnam can't be imperialistic towards China because they're too weak.

Lol your response is beyond disappointing. I thought you're capable of dispensing nuance analysis beside the usual clap trap we often hear from the actual imperialists and neo-colonialists powers.

There's no further need to have a discussion on this topic since there's no avenue of agreement.

China's Nine-dash lines has no standing and is imperialistic in nature. So in reality any actions taken by Vietnam and other countries in the region is 'responding accordingly'.
The way you are trying to frame Vietnam just shows how easy is it to fabricate a situation where you are just 'responding accordingly'.
Interesting how you act like Vietnam is the victim when they were the initial aggressor and they have less 'right' over their claims than China.

The person doesn't even realize that as soon as China collapses and democratize i.e. vassalized the next on the chopping block is COMMUNIST VIETNAM. Which goes to show how Brain dead western subservients mentality and propagandists are when it comes to the reality of geopolitics.

The former Australian prime minister

has accused Liz Truss of making “demented” comments about Chinese military aggression and urged the British foreign secretary to hurry “back to her collapsing, disreputable government”.

Keating, in a

The former Labor leader, who served as prime minister from 1991 to 1996, has long pushed for “engagement” with

but now finds himself increasingly at odds with the bipartisan consensus in Canberra to take a stronger line against Beijing.

Keating took aim at Truss, who

last week, after a report said she had warned that China could use a Russian invasion of Ukraine as an opportunity to launch aggression of its own in the Indo-Pacific.

“I don’t think we can rule that out,” Truss

during an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.

“Russia is working more closely with China than it ever has. Aggressors are working in concert and I think it’s incumbent on countries like ours to work together.”

Keating, who has previously said Australia should not come to Taiwan’s aid in the event Beijing launches an attempt to invade the self-governed island, criticised Truss’s comments.

“Remarks by the British foreign secretary Liz Truss that China could engage in military aggression in the Pacific, encouraged by Russia’s contingent moves against Ukraine, are nothing short of demented,” Keating said in

.

“Not simply irrational, demented.”

Keating also said the reality was that Britain “does not add up to a row of beans when it comes to east Asia”.

“Britain took its main battle fleet out of east Asia in 1904 and finally packed it in with its ‘East of Suez’ policy in the 1970s. And it has never been back,” Keating said in comments that gained prominence

I wouldnt count him out just yet, when The time comes, he will shine once more. Rome didn’t fall in a day and when the USA goes, expect Australia to follow shortly after and only those that can treat China as equals will remain.
I am just entertained at seeing just how many things the USA has gotten wrong just recently
