US is going to start equipment in Vietnam and Cambodia as well as other Asian nations in the coming years. While most of the equipment in Vietnam and Cambodia is going to be non lethal, it paves the way for American military presence in Vietnam, something which has not been seen since the end of the Second Indochina war. In addition to that, there is the possibility of spillover effect into other nations bordering the South China sea and the possibility of increased military cooperation between Vietnam and the United States (as well as its allies).

Looks like the US is set to make amends with an old foe. And Vietnam has shown that while the past is not forgotten, the present dangers to its security means it has to make new friends.

The US fucked up in Vietnam but did the right thing and pulled out. The US is currently seen positively in the region, though it dipped during Bush Jr tenure. ASEAN countries has woken up and arming themselves against China. My own country, Malaysia is belatedly constructing 6 more stealth frigates based on the extended French Gowind platform, with proper anti ship capabilities after China repeated came to potato distance of our shores.

Singapore is buying F35s while Indonesia, Vietnam and even poor Phillipines are also buying modern frigates. Slowly, but surely, ASEAN will eventually become a political-military alliance against China if China keep to provocating us. Old rivalries will be put on hold when facing an implacable enemy. The US knows this and is trying to capitalise politically. And frankly, we welcome it.

Vietnamese have been fighting the Chinese as long as people remember. Only times they haven't fought the Vietnamese was either because they were fighting the Americans, the french or were fighting each other (they only have a few years where their country has been in complete peace in all of its existence).

Every Vietnamese guy I talked to when I was there saw a war against China in the future and had an unholy hatred for the Chinese. Hell, the hatred for the Chinese takes it to the next level to the point where they even hate the Chinese people.

They see the French as a pest which at the end of the day helped build infrastructure (French sunk a lot of money to set up the foundation for the industrialization of Vietnam) and the Americans who helped hone in their fighting skills against a more formidable foe and to build up their armed forces (which was later used against the Chinese in the Sino-Vietnamese war).

Tanks wouldn't be very useful for the Filipino military due to the rather shitty infrastructure and prevalence of islands. They're better off buying ATGMs and other anti-tank weaponry. The move to buy the FA-50s was a good one, but 12 jets doesn't make a modern air force. They really should be looking into more advanced multirole fighters like the F-18. Also the navy needs an overhaul something fierce, they can hardly defend their ocean boundaries as is. This all hinges on whether or not the Filipino high brass can get their corrupt heads out of their asses and wake up to the reality of an expanding China.

Why would we side with China if they take over our EEZ and park missile boats right on our borders? China is playing with fire and bluffing its way. No more proddings.

There is talk of dumping our stupid soviet Mig 29 fighters and buying Super Hornets. We are getting Paladins too from the US.

because no orders of substantial proportions have come in yet.

US just lifted the arms embargo on Vietnam (i believe it was last year) and since then the Vietnamese have looked to upgrade their arsenals, with what looks like a trend where they will buy less and less from the Russians, and more from the US and other western nations (this will take time though as Russia still gives the Vietnamese a good deal on their equipment).

This.

Every Vietnamese city has streets named after ancient generals who beat the Chinese (and some that died valiantly afterwards).

They're greatest legend is about a pair of sisters who raised and led an army in a revolution to avenge an executed husband and maybe a rape, they took over a bunch of forts and held them for a few years before being beaten back and then they drowned themselves in a river to avoid more rape.

Well, that's the story anyway. But every city has a Hai Ba Trung st which is Two Sisters Trung.

Because the latest wave of repression in China is driving the wealthy to put their money in Singapore.

And now that China is beginning to clean up Hong Kong's tax shelters, those people are moving their money to Singapore too.

Paki-US relations have been pretty cold since the Bin Laden raid and congress just barely approved a sale of F16's to Pakistan because the US wants to increase (and is increasing) military cooperation with India.

Doesn't matter.

The only country India has ever had a formal military treaty with has been the USSR.

That too only because they didn't have any credible nuclear deterrence at that time in a high aggression environment. When US sent the fully armed 7th fleet to attack India in the 1971 War, they were stopped by Soviet Nuclear submarines. Something they aren't likely to forget anytime in the near future.

A China deterrence will have to be Japan-US-Philippines at best. Maybe throw in Vietnam as well.

While I do think we should've backed Ho, I think you're being a bit over-idealistic here. Ho did like us, but he was a committed communist ever since the early 20's (he helped found the French communist party). I'm aware that he drafted a declaration of independence similar to ours, but his version of freedom wasn't going to be the same as ours and there would've been some friction because of that. I think the best we could've gotten was a Yugoslavia of sorts in Asia in terms of a 3rd player, which would've been a massive improvement over what happened. Also I think if Ho had lived to see the end of the war, things may have turned out differently in the immediate postwar era when the Vietnamese politburo went full retard and crashed their economy.
>>
>>29303676
Ho was dying for US help. He was petitioning us as far back as the 20s. The French essentially used Vietnam as blackmail to keep them in NATO. We were financing their ops there as early as the 50s. The sad truth is yes, Ho wouldn't necessarily have been as agreeable as a puppet, but he would have very likely worked with us. Especially for trade benefits. Vietnam is/was communisty because colonialism isn't exactly fun for the oppressed masses. They are an interesting country to say the least. Ho also managed to balance Chinese and Soviet influence throughout the entire war (until he died) and this allowed Vietnam their unique spot that helped keep their country functional to this very day.
>>
>>29303742
Oh I'm well aware he was petitioning us for help for decades before the war, and he may have gotten it if FDR and Kennedy had lived. I understand why Ho turned to communism, but I also think that he was a bit naïve in regards as to how to implement, and this sort of carried on into the Vietnamese Communist Party. He was however open to change over time, hence why I assume that had we opened up to him things may have turned out radically different. He and the other higher ups actually admitted that the North Vietnamese land reforms of the late 1950's had been a disaster.

Overall I see the US and Vietnam getting back together, partly out of necessity and partly because this is kind of how it was supposed to be. Ho sought the favor of the other communist nations, but as you said he never wanted to be wholly reliant on one or the other. I remember reading somewhere that his appraisals of Mao and Stalin were of two giants that he wanted to get on the good side of, but never trust. In China's case that proved somewhat prophetic since they ended up invading. In the Soviet case, they grew somewhat close but when they became basically reliant on the USSR and some of the PACT countries for all of their foreign trade and aid, they learned there was limits on the hospitality. I believe one rumor during the late cold war was that the Vietnamese politburo sent a memo to their Soviet counterpart asking for more food and aid, to which the Soviets merely responded "tighten your belts". The Vietnamese response was "send more belts". Eventually Soviet aid dwindled as the USSR began to fall apart, and in the late 90's Vietnam decided to reinvent its international image by starting to open itself up to foreign trade and commerce and open up relations to formerly hostile countries, us included. Leading to where we are today, with the Vietnamese wanting to buy weapons from us once again for the first time in decades. History has an interesting way of repeating itself.

>just barely approved

Last I heard it's not.

Also, India is not going to pick sides or join an alliance in the near future. They're sole concern is South Asia.
Any war with China is unlikely because of nuclear weapons and the recent border dispute settlement they made.

Also, Pakistan is still a key US partner. As long as we are in Afghanistan, we are with Pakistan over India.

Very unlikely. Most Indians are politically against such a thing.

If any party ever gets the votes to support that, they'll likely get kicked out of power.
>>
>>29304477
>any of those nations actually actively helping the US in a war against China

Unlikely. Only Japan may take part, and that requires us to be attacked first.
>>
>>29304579
You're wrong.

We tried to conquer all of Korea, and got our shit pushed back past Seoul.

We tried to defeat North Vietnam, and got knocked out in a war that nearly tore our country apart.

The Chinese will fight. Doubting their ability because of "social media" is bullshit. There's a reason for all their censorship.

Vietnamese history goes back as far as 258BC (recorded history), and from 111BC to 938 AD the Chinese dominated Vietnam, and the entire time the Vietnamese fought them, then they had about a hundred years of peace then civil war and then in 1407 the Chinese invaded again and then they kicked em out, fought each other and then had the Chinese invade again.

This happened up until 1778 when the French conquered Indochina little by little until they controlled the entire country.

Plus the Chinese nationalists occupied northern Vietnam in the aftermath of WW2 and only left after pissing the Vietnamese off even more.

>>29304771
First "Vietnam war" was French vs Viet Mihn. Wouldn't make sense that there were two Vietnam wars (also the war included Cambodia and Laos, which were both part of Indochina)

>>29304811
it survived the Senate, not congress, but it still speaks volumes as to the US wanting to get India on its side.

This of course is all speculation, but the notion is that narendra modi is looking for options as to how to deal with China and its increased aggression.

Granted Pakistan is still a US partner, but they're increasingly aligning themselves with the Chinese and have cooperated with China in building an arm of the New Silk Road project that goes to Karachi (or was it Islamabad).

>>29304852
Vietnam is gonna start helping soon. As for ROK, if the Chinese continue helping DPKR and worsen relations because of the deployment of THAAD to the peninsula, ROK might start aligning more with the US. Though it won't push its weight around regionally as its own security takes precedence and they aren't threatened by China. At most they can stop the spread of Chinese influence and help other countries financially, but I don't see them getting involved with countries like Vietnam or the Philippines

>>29304811

Holy fuck you could not be more ass backwards.
>>
>>29304881
only after DPRK invaded ROK.

the second indochina war couldn't be won if we didn't invade PRVN or had the French granted Vietnam independence while at the same time fighting the commies (like Britain did in Maylay)

If you wanna see strange bedfellows read up on the Afghan civil war.

People switched sides so often, you had anti communists fighting alongside communists because either the pashtuns or the Uzbeks became too powerful (as an example)

Are you forgetting the part where we pushed back to the 38th parallel?
>>29304727
There were border skirmishes going well into the '90s after the initial attack.

Damn. Kinda reminds me of the stuff I used to read about concerning the Spanish civil war.
