I’d love for you to explain how domestically produced vietnamese resistance to French, Japanese, and American imperialism is materially the same as western powers fighting a proxy war with Russia at the expense of Ukrainian lives.

Would also love to hear the political analysis that led you to believing Russia is distinctly fascist rather than capitalist.

So Vietnam wasn’t a proxy war?

Not in the way the war in Ukraine is

Please, by all means elaborate.

They were both proxy wars. But what were they fighting for? In the cold war, usa wanted vietnam to remain a colony to extract profits, but ussr wanted an ally in the region instead. nowadays usa want ukraine to become a vassal state to destabilize its geopolitical adversaries in the region, specifically russia. much like israel is used against many middle eastern nations. russia has no virtuous intention other than self preservation, and they are not a superpower anymore, so they used the tools they had which was a military operation to disarm ukraine and nato.

The USA, along with the rest of NATO, wants Ukraine to remain independent, and not fall into Russian hands.

Remember, the US is just one nation providing military aid to Ukraine. Even Australia and New Zealand are contributing.

The entire west is using Ukraine as a battering ram to damage geopolitical enemies, while harvesting it for rare Earths and resources, saddling it with debt and disrupting peace talks. The west has no virtuous intent here.

And you think Russia had virtuous intent helping Vietnam?

Yes the Soviets and Chinese of the time very much wanted Vietnam to be free of colonialism just like in Korea.

It’s so sweet that you think that.
