    Why are you talking about actual history when you want me to ask something of a dead person?

      Fine. Don’t ask Jonas Savimbi. Ask the entirety of Vietnam - or do you have a problem verifying the histories of countries, too?

        The entirety of Vietnam? Do you mean their entire population? Because I assume they have a range of viewpoints like humans everywhere else on Earth and are not some sort of homogeneous hived-mind entity. Is that what you believe?

          The entirety of Vietnam?

          Yes, the entirety of Vietnam - unless you think that there are plenty of Vietnamese who don’t know or don’t believe that Vietnam was invaded by China during the Cold War… twice.

            And because they were invaded by China during the Cold War, they all agree that China isn’t going to substantially aid Russia in their invasion of Ukraine?

            All 98 million of them? Even the babies?

              Does being ridiculous come naturally to you?

              Or does it only show up when your white liberalism-derived hysteria is threatened by reality?

              Here.

              Ask Vietnamese people how quickly China can turn on it’s “allies.” I’m sure they will be glad to tell you.

                Why yes, I worked professionally in comedy for many years.

                your white liberalism-derived hysteria

                I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about.

                Ask Vietnamese people how quickly China can turn on it’s “allies.” I’m sure they will be glad to tell you.

                You once again are telling me that all Vietnamese people think exactly the same thing including the babies. Which is pretty bigoted. Are you sure that is the stance you are taking here?

                  You once again are telling me that all Vietnamese people think

                  Are USians a monolith because most USians can find the US on a map? Are Africans a monolith because most of them know the sky is blue?

                  Do you think most Vietnamese live in a whole bunch of alternative universes with different basic historical facts?

                  Is there something wrong with you?

                    That is the second time you have violated the civility rule. I would not suggest doing it a third time.
