China chumming up with Vietnam? You seem to be hopelessly lost. It was Russia that supported Vietnamese nationalists, not China. On the contrary, China and Vietnam have had strained relations and went to war in 1979 when China invaded Vietnam - and China lost as invaders so often do. The Vietnamese were not kind to ethnically Chinese after the American war and the border was shut for a long time. Relations continue to be quite frosty. There is no love lost between China and Vietnam. The Chinese-led incursion in Korea was entirely different and was probably resisted by Koreans as well as a true mulitinational force with a very high US component. It was the US at its best, actually coming to the defense of a country that had been in effect invaded. I am not for or against a particular country - I am, generally speaking, against foreign invasion and foreign occupation. By the way, I am also against the illegal seizing and occupation of land by Israel. The US should not be allied with people who steal other peoples land.
