You are wasting your time taking to some people. These people are incapable of accepting reality no matter how much you show it to them; they live in a fantasy world where corruption is getting better in Vietnam, the government is going to clean it up, everything is the fault of foreigners and...

But of course, foreigners living in Vietnam are not capable of understanding the problems, have agendas and also don't get input from the vietnamese people that are close to them, they are simply incapable of understanding because they are foreigners. Never mind that Vietnam is very often...

"In order to fix a problem, we have to admit that there is a problem." Very true. That's how 12 step programs work (to treat addictions such as alcohol, drugs, etc). First have to recognize and accept that you have a problem. Only then can work on fixing the problem. If you really love your...

Hey, never mind that the VCP head of Danang was just fired because he accepted "gifts" (2 houses and 1 car), from businesses. I guess those gifts are not lobbying for favors, right? By the way, why fired? He should be in jail. In western countries, many times politicians get fired and even...

That particular action in USA does not justify the corruption in VN or makes the corruption in VN any better. Lots of people that break the law in VN get away with no problems and everybody in VN knows that. You can cherry pick one particular action if you like, but it doesn't change the...

There is corruption everywhere but its one thing when it only happens at the upper levels and you don't feel it and its another thing like in VN where it happens at the upper levels where is virtually legalized because the whole system and everybody in it is corrupted (and many that complained...

Well, if someone is willing to pay 1.5 million for a post there, you can imagine that they are going to make a lot more than that once there and that tells you everything.

Yes, I know, the VCP secretary is getting rid of former PM Dung's allies.

What Vietnam needs is less corruption, everything is corrupted, including the military. Its a cancer. 1.5 million usd to buy a post at the national assembly. How about that? And when the news come out, the judge tries to hide it. So much for anti corruption campaign. Totally correct. They...

Ballistic missiles are not going to help defend the islands, Its a weapon of retaliation. Shaddock missiles and Su-22 can't penetrate a modern air defense system. Su-22s only carry short range missiles, Its a suicide mission. The S-1000 is not overpriced, Its actually very cost effective and a...

That's what I've been saying for the last few years. In case of war, Viet surface ships will have to stay in port or will not survive. Only subs can navigate mostly undetected and hit enemy vessels. Quite a few naval exercises have shown subs getting into firing position against US carriers...

I wrote this for another forum a couple of years ago, I believe is still valid: Vietnamese Spratly Islands multi layer defensive system (this analysis applies only to the bigger islands): First line of defense (up to 150 km range): EXTRA (long range guided rockets). Second line of defense...

You bet it does, it has a ton of missiles, particularly the type 55. The thing is, land artillery will push an attacking naval force to stay out of the range of the artillery unless they want to take that risk. Of course a very strong attacking naval force will have the means of destroying that...

Yes, but don't forget that most ships don't have sea to land missiles (usually destroyers have them such as AEGIS destroyers with their Tomahawk missiles), they have anti ship missiles, so their main weapon against land targets is their onboard gun and as such, those land artillery pieces which...
