From your pathetic performance so far, looks like you should take some of that Budweiser.
It doesn't help you much by having
your pathetic performance so far to lable on me like that, dear Gambit!
I know you have tried your best to outwit me, but failed ... again. hihihi...
Fine, then North Viet Nam was the Soviets' and China's puppet.
Wrong .. dude! North Vietnam used Soviet and China's assistances to unify Vietnam as a whole and they succeeded, not like the US's puppet (South Vietnam). The goal is completed that what made the difference - if you're still .... duh, about it. hehehehe...
Hey, buddy...The PRC was voted into the UN with only 2/3 of the membership. Why not all? The point here was that South Viet Nam's status as a sovereign state was incontestable and Prugh's pointing out the fact that a major global power, the US, and over eighty other sovereign nation-states, approved that status made it incontestable.
Who cares if 2/3 or 3/3 of the membership from UN? UN is just another puppet organization set up by the super power countries whom control it for their politcal purposes. If you are too naive not to know that then it is your problem.
However, face the fact Gambit, South Vietnam was nothing if without the assistance of the U.S. South Vietnam was never be able to control her (what you lied about)
sovereignty state once U.S. left Vietnam. Too much of what is called
sovereignty state huh, poor Gambit!
Therefore, whatever the US guy, Prugh's pointing out the fact that a major global power, the US, and over eighty other sovereign nation-states, approved that status made it
fabricated lie. That's all.
Facts dude, prove it!
Did anyone challenged China's status as a sovereignty despite NOT being a UN member and despite having two parties declaring themselves legitimate representative of China? No. Despite those two facts, NO ONE declared China a 'non-state'. Repeat -- NO ONE CHALLENGED CHINA'S STATUS AS A SOVEREIGNTY. So what make you think you have any credible arguments as to why South Viet Nam was not a sovereignty? Zilch, you have no credible arguments.
Did China care at the time? Do you think if the World or the United Nations care? Of course,
NO ONE CHALLENGED CHINA'S STATUS AS A SOVEREIGNTY because no one can strip off her sovereignty. As far as Taiwan is concerned, Taiwan is going to be just like South Vietnam back then. Without US assistance, sovereignty is
a laughing stock
Made up fact? Care to provide sources on that?
Dude, don't try to pass the buck when you are the one who quoted some US guy's data. You have the responsibilty to prove it man... "
as did some eighty-seven other nations" hehehe.
You LIE and AFRAID of the TRUTH, and now even try to CHEAT!? Sad, very sad ....
No, it was not an opinion. It was a fact that the Soviets vetoed South Viet Nam's UN membership. They cannot veto unless it was proposed in the first place. Does not matter who proposed it. Only that it was proposed.
No, it does matter for who has had proposed South Vietnam (have no sovereignty) to the UN's membership? If it was from US then the answer is clear ... a puppet government would get a veto from Soviet was appropriate ...
So BOTH North and South Viet Nams were proposed to be UN full members.
You still have not answer who proposed South Vietnam to be UN member, and yet stated your opinion such as
BOTH North and South Viet Nams were proposed huh, Gambit? Who proposed North Vietnam then?
The fact that they were vetoed does not negate the truth that they could have been UN members before the PRC was accepted as representative for China. So no, what I said was not an opinion. I did not say that South Viet Nam WAS a UN member. I said that South Viet Nam 'could have'. That is 'could have'. Do you understand what those words mean?
Dude, your LYING become a HABIT now ... or was it naturally!?
Read what you have said:
Gambit said:
South Viet Nam's status as a sovereign state before 1975 is not for dispute.
Was that an opinion or fact when South Vietnam was not even a UN member and will never be?
In fact, Vietnam as a whole became a UN member and recorded as of September 20th, 1977.
And you went on further to express your opinion as such that
Gambit said:
The last part of that sentence is significant because it was the Soviets who originally proposed that both Vietnams be admitted to the UN as full members.
Strange wasn't it!? It was the Soviets who originally proposed that both Vietnams be admitted to the UN as full members - and yet - Soviets vetoed South Vietnam according to Prugh's ???
Not only have successfully argued with you, I destroyed you with your own ignorance and incompetence.
Realities are not for you to judge. Members here are not blind, deaf or mute
However, if keep thinking like that makes you happier and to boost your self-esteem up; why not - keep thinking - so that you have the strength to keep the argument with me .... hehehehee...
- You tried to disqualify South Viet Nam as a sovereign state when the PRC itself was not even accepted as China's representative, therefore we could argue that the PRC's claim to the islands is questionable at best.
It is like this:
- You LIED about South Vietnam was not given the sovereignty of the two archipelgos (Paracels & Spratly); when South Vietnam was not even agree to the 1954 Geneva Accords.
- You LIED about South Viet Nam's status as a sovereign state before 1975 is not for dispute; fact - never was in controlled of South Vietnam without U.S. assistance as history has shown.
- You AFRAID to ACCEPT the TRUTH that two largest islands Phu Lam (Woody Is.) and Linh Con from Paracel archipelgo were taken and controlledby China already in 1956 up until the present day; yet, blah blah about China PRC's claim to the islands is questionable.
SAD! SAD! SAD!
- You did not know that South Viet Nam's status as a sovereignty was accepted and respected by over eighty nation-states REGARDLESS of the 1954 Geneva Accords.
You LIED and have not PROVEN who are those over eighty nation-states was accepted and respected sovereignty of South Vietnam according to Prugh's.
You also LIED about the Soviets who originally proposed that both Vietnams be admitted to the UN as full members - and yet - Soviets vetoed South Vietnam according to Prugh's ???
- You did not know that in 1973, North Viet Nam signed the Paris Peace Accords and that included a concession that South Viet Nam was a sovereign state.
- If South Vietnam was a sovereign state then why did it has two parties were fighting for it while awaiting for democratic general elections
under international supervision, according to 1973 Paris Peace Accords?
- You did not know that after 1973, North Viet Nam acknowledged that it was South Viet Nam's responsibility to defend the islands against Chinese intrusion.
You need to provide fact, not from ureliable websites or books. Fact like, the 1958 Letter of PM Pham Van Dong already acknowledged those islands were China's etc ... Logically, if South Vietnam want to fight with China for those islands then defend them if South Vietnam could.
- Not one -- NOT ONE -- Chinese have provided anything more substantive than that 1958 Phạm Văn Đồng letter that was so vague that it is being disputed today, whereas Viet Nam can prove beyond any reasonable doubt that there has been 300 years of recorded administrative presence by various Vietnamese regimes, independent and under colonial protection, upon the islands.
In history of the two archipelgos Paracel and Spratly:
* China had claimed those islands in the 19th and early 20th century
* Japan had claimed those islands during World War II
* In 1947, China produced map with 9 undefined dotted lines, and claimed all of the islands within those lines.
Had North or/and South Vietnam ever spoken up or protested against China? - Not one --
NOT ONE
* In 1956, two largest islands Phu Lam (Woody Is.) and Linh Con from Paracel archipelgo were taken and controlledby China already up until the present day
* In 1958 Declaration, China restated her claims of those islands
* In 1974, more chain of islands of the Paracels were controlled by China
* In 1988, Johnson South Reef Skirmish (Hải chiến Trường Sa 1988) belong to China along with other islets
So here is the final judgement of your debate, based upon your ignorance as outlined above, and of China's claim on the Hoàng Sa and Trường Sa islands...
Realities spoke for themselves, childish Gambit
