Russian expert: In Asia, only Vietnam can trust

Russia is on a decline and there is nothing they can do about it.Their population is declining and the sanctions are literally gonna **** them more.

They need a far bigger and stronger ally than vietnam,no disrespect to vietnam here
 
It is so funny, the so called Russian expert praising the Viets when the Russian under pinch, but at other hand their government shake their hands with the Chinese over the gas deals and keep silent over China-Viet disputes let alone giving the Viets moral support.

Russian and Indonesia can play in neutral position in this dispute, it is normal. Important is that Russian provide for us weapons (and we pay fairly).
 
I can tell these Vietnamese are very happy that someone considers them a friend. Typical of inferiority complex mindset. LOL
 
Don't expect good word for Chinese from vietnamese mouth, I don't care, let them bark, that's only thing they can do, HEHE!

Eastsea is right, you are barking again.

I can tell these Vietnamese are very happy that someone considers them a friend. Typical of inferiority complex mindset. LOL

but these are not chinese, ha ha,

What is chinese is typical mentality, ? arrogant and stupid.

Vietnam was always the Soviet's gateway to South East Asia.

Unfortunately, I don't think Russia will be of any serious help to Vietnam against China. If superpower USSR wouldn't help Vietnam in 1979, why would non-superpower Russia help Vietnam now?

Russia values good relations with China far more than Vietnam due to China's attractive economy.
 
Mr. Leonid Gusev - Institute of International Studies (MGIMO University) said that most Asian countries will not participate "punish Russia" but Moscow still need to be vigilant, except for Vietnam.

In the war against Russia by the sanctions, the U.S. has tried to mobilize Asian countries support sanctions against Russia. Especially the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was appointed United States ambassador to the country in the Asia-Pacific region to campaign.

According to information in The Wall Street Journal quoted a senior official of the U.S. State Department, that the U.S. has been implementing a series of meetings with the representatives of the government as well as business corporations State-owned and privately in Korea, Singapore and even China.

In a commentary published in the National News Service, Wednesday 1/8, Leonid Gusev experts from the Institute of International Studies, MGIMO University of Russia, said that most countries in the Asia - Pacific region there are positive links with the United States and the European Union. But most countries have to cooperate with Russia in economic terms, they will not be ready to support sanctions, Russia and the United States, but Moscow still be wary.

"Many Asian countries are having relationship close cooperation with the United States., For example, Japan and South Korea where the U.S. military bases. Singaporean too, they are always the same way with the Western economic and political, but the country was once a colony of Britain as China everything is very vague and unpredictable ", Leonid Gusev expert commentary.

"China is bound by ties closer economic cooperation with the United States should publicly oppose U.S. sanctions against Russia and the West is not possible, despite the fact that Russia there is a relationship very close economic cooperation with their "expert Leonid Gusev said.

For Laos and Cambodia, before they were allies of the Soviet Union, but now they were under the strong influence from the West. Although the relationship with Russia is still good, but they can not be allies.


Expert says Leonid Gusev, Russia in relations with North Korea is nothing new. Because North Korea is still a country so dependent on China, and Korea is more a country so poor.

For India, they are constantly developing relationships with both Russia and the West. Of course, today they have and are building a more independent relationship.

Although since the early 90's, Vietnam and the United States to strengthen cooperation in various fields and this relationship has not stopped. But "more or less, then Russia can also rely on Vietnam. They have a good relationship in many aspects such as economic, military ... two countries have both an oil and gas joint venture. Additionally, Russia will build a nuclear power plant in Ninh Thuan Vietnam ", Leonid Gusev experts said.

-------------------------------- China - Russia alliance if there is, only to deter U.S. If there is no U.S., Japan factor in SCS, Vietnam - Russia alliance to contain China is possible.
You have to be vocally sweet with others when you are in search of new market or say when you want to furture milk away that market and increase your % share in the market (defence). Mounted by the pressure of sanctions from the west ,russian are indeed trying to concentrate ''more'' on the Asian market and looks like Vietnam is next on its radar.

China single handedly can provide much more than what Vietnam and Indian together could offer. Look at the $400 billion oil deal. Yes, China-Russia relation is good for both, but situation is different from last century, it's Russia who ask China for help. Russia is rapidly losing her edge to China, with the less reliance on Russia's weapon, Russia has less leverage when doing business with China, which means China has more initiative power.

So I think Russia is overrated. People have too much hope on Russia. Even when USSR reached her peak in cold war era, the economy size is only half of the US (USSR $2.2 trillion vs US $4.3 trillion). They also have serious structural problem. Today's Russia even can't handle her own problem against the west, while Vietnam still have unrealistic hopes for Russia, to exert a balanced influence in Asia. No one can save Vietnam...

BRICS is Russia's hope.
 
Vietnam seems to be a confused nation still struggling to figure out which Nations are its friends and which ones are enemies.
