Lol, nice deflection, bro. "We don't have freedom of press, but at least we killed some people that one time!" Looks like the propaganda machine is working as intended. |
They attacked us first, this is self-defense.

And beat the terror regime of the Khmer Rouge. The main message: don't mess with the vietnamese people, regardless if you are a military power or a virus. |
We always choose peace, but won't forgive anyone try to invade us.

Vietnam was attacked in all these cases and defended their country. The french part is the most complicated, but France invaded Vietnam to try to reestablish their colony, after Vietnam declared independence following the loss of Japan (which had occupied the country) in World War II. I may not agree with the undemocratic regime in Vietnam, but that doesn't mean I need to depict the defense against imperial invasions as "killed some people that one time". And I think it is unfair to say this reaction is deflection, then the post from haxxiy that was answered here is actually a deflection, because haxxiy didn't want to accept that Vietnam did well (and much better than most western countries) in defeating coronavirus. Why don't you point out his deflection? |
Give it up, he believes everything from western is superior compared to eastern. Thank you anyway.

I did not get the first part of what haxxiy was responding to. I just found it hilarious that he tried to defend his country by saying something completely unrelated. That's textbook deflection. I should know, because I'm German and every other argument is ending with "But we beat you in WW2". What he said sounded the exact same. And it also sounds like what a propaganda machine would teach people to say if someone criticises their great country. Considering the limited freedom of speech and the seemingly quite successful propaganda I will be careful with accepting any COVID numbers coming from there, just like with China and the US. We should be really careful in praising any dictatorship for whatever reason, even if it was justified. |
You can check every morgue in Vietnam if you think we're lying.
