Top of the list, announced at the final rehearsal for the April 30 military parade, are Vietnam’s biggest friends — Laos, Cambodia, Cuba and China.
What a fun list of friends. Bet there’s gonna be some fuckjng great food there
On April 30, 1975, North Vietnamese troops stormed the Independence Palace in central Saigon — now known as Ho Chi Minh City — ending the almost 20-year war that caused great losses to both North and South Vietnam, as well as the South’s ally the United States.

USA has been salty about Vietnam and Cuba for decades.
The salt levels over Cuba are a tiny speck next to Vietnam. Most Americans have memory holed the Bay of Pigs and all the failed assassination attempts. Vietnam on the other hand, the catalyst for the modern Amerikkkan chud mindset comes from the neurosis over losing that war. That’s why there this constant overcompensating and self-congratulatory puffery, it’s the shame and anxiety about losing to the communists in such a humiliating way.
I had the displeasure of passing by a shitty cope-heavy meme that claims the U.S. lost Vietnam by killing so many Vietnamese they got bored and left.
This is why I avoid meme channels.
Ah yes the old bragging about your k/d ratio despite losing the match cope.
I didn’t know so many Vietnam vets played LoL. That explains so much. Always funny when someone with a score of 30/5/26 complains about losing. I always pour salt on it with my 0/17/42 score by saying:
I like to mix it up depending on my mood.
