DID YOU KNOW: America technically won the Vietnam war, even Vietnam admits it
>>
because we built a McDonald's there?
>>
Things Americans will say ITT:
1. We never really tried!
2. HCM wasn't even a communist!
3. We could have nuked them!
4. They were about to surrender!
5. We didn't lose! It was the Democrats stopping the funding!
6. We signed the Paris Peace treaty! That proves we won!
7. McDonald's in Hanoi = Victory
8. Muh Kill/Death ratio!
9. We stopped the spread of Communism!
10. Vietnamese people are pro-American so we won in the long-run!
>>
Technically in this case meaning not at all?

Vietnam war was to prevent spread of communism to Indochina? Well, communism successfully spread to Indochina so you lost. Chink bros in pajamas BTFO your cuck soldiers.

The Vietnamese communists succeeded (with significant help from USSR and China) to create enough military difficulty for the US to decide that in the social and political context saving Vietnamese from Communist dictatorship is not worth the price.
The Southern Koreans should thank the god of timing that their war was conducted by US's greatest generation and not by their children, the spoiled hippies.

Members of our nation invent all kind of innovative shit. This is inspected and than either approved or rejected by our society. Christianity and Gommunism is just 2 examples of rejected ideas. Those frustrated rejects than go and propogate it outside. Don't know why you goyim are so susceptible to shit tier ideologies we reject.

I wish OP would respond. I'm genuinely curious to see how American propaganda spins Vietnam as an American victory.

The Vietnam was was a military stalemate. That's a little different from a quagmire. It was also a conventional war, not a guerrilla war.

Nobody actually believes we succeeded, and there is no "American propaganda" on the subject to convince us otherwise.

>>59929055

How do you quantify scientific progress in order to put it on a chart?
>>
>>59929416
So, you admit that there's just geopolitics at play here and not any mythical feeling of eternal hatred against some rival chink-ethnicy.

They're pissed now because the PRC tried to invade and they're currently fighting over the Spratly and Paracel Islands
>>
>>59929493
If that's what you're getting at, sure. With such a broad definition though, you might as well categorize every inter-ethnic conflict as geopolitics.

Vietnam left behind its qualms with the US because they were just one opponent in a series of wars. China always sits to the north of Vietnam and is always a threat, so it just makes sense.

Butblusted religious fags denying that violently substituting discovery by observation with canonical interpretations of a book written for entirely different purposes and culture has held back science.
You seem bent on embracing the most fucked up ideas some of us throw around, take them to an extreme and then blaim us for the results when we are telling you quite openly to stop doing that.
First Christianity than Communism. Now Multiculturalism. Everey Israrli poster here tells you to stop that. You see our country not doing it and still you invite people that we rejected to preach it and then blaim us for the results when we specificly tell you to not do it both in text and by our own example.
You are truly to us what the nigers are to you.

M8 I'm an atheist, but that chart you posted is just stupid. In order to mathematically quantify something don't you have to be able to create some kind of unit of measurement for it? How do you measure scientific progress?

if losing is winning for USA, I can't even imagine how it will be when you lose. You faggots would probably deny reality altogether, probably mass suicide. Those fat blobs would implode not because of their mass but out of sheer mental bewilderment

It's not perfect but x axis is time and y axis is scientific discoveries so you have the car in 1374 ad for example by taking same rate of advancement. Such projections are done in comparative economic analysis all the time.

>>tried to invade?
>The Sino-Vietnamese War (Vietnamese: Chiến tranh biên giới Việt-Trung; simplified Chinese: 中越战争; traditional Chinese: 中越戰爭; pinyin: Zhōng-Yuè Zhànzhēng), also known as the Third Indochina War, was a brief border war fought between the People's Republic of China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in early 1979. China launched the offensive in response to Vietnam's invasion and occupation of Cambodia in 1978 (which ended the rule of the Chinese-backed Khmer Rouge).

Vietnamese consider it to be an attempted invasion, Chinese basically regard it as a police action. The Vietnamese were massively assmad about it for a while, and they're bringing it up again due to the island situation. I think the Chinese had to pull some workers out of Chinese factories in Vietnam because there were protests against them

It is nice to see that people always forget that the Khmer Rouge, pretty much communist ISIS, werent just supported by China, but also the USA because they were anti-soviet communists.

Kissinger even gave China his blessing when he was consulted by Deng Xiaoping before attempting that offensive in '79, and the US even gave China moral support in that war, because both of them were deeply in their honeymoon to contain Soviet influences in Southeast Asia (with Vietnam being an USSR-client), and the USSR and Vietnam just signed a military cooperation treaty aimed at China.
>>
>>59932163
That's not to say that I denounce the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia btw.
Khmer Rouge were shitheads and it is good that they are done away with.

But the Geopolitics of that Cold War period were interesting, to say the least. No matter if you are a genociding communist terror regime - you only have to be against the Soviets, and you'll have Murrica's support.

For China, it is more a traditional thing, as the Cambodian royal house that came before, were always deeply rooted with China.
>>
>>59932163
>>59932447
I didn't mention our support of the Khmer Rouge because I didn't think it was relevant to the current tensions between Vietnam and China
