45 years ago China invaded Vietnam - Feb 17-Mar 16, 1979. I was invited to Hanoi roughly two weeks after China ended its attack. In 2024 the event was marked by Vietnam with published salutes to Vietnamese heroes. In Beijing the history is seldom talked about. After the short attack, talks on relations ensued but Vietnamese - Chinese ties broken off in 1979 were not restored until 1991. In the ...

越南人在1979年靠着苏联爹爹给他撑腰,想要吞并柬埔寨老挝,但是我们中国人打狗从来不看狗的主人是谁。只要敢惹到我们,虽远必诛,到时候剥了你的皮,拔了你的筋,喝干净敌人的血
去youtube频道“说真话的徐某人”就知道越南为何向柬埔寨派兵,你们这些无知的人。
China helped Vietnam resist France and the United States. However, Vietnam turned its back on people. In order to please the Soviet Union for its continuous harassment of China's border, it launched a counterattack against Vietnam. The most ironic thing is that when the PLA hit Laoshan, it found that Vietnamese people used food provided by the Chinese as shields in the trenches. This kind of petty behavior made the Chinese people angry

Looking at the footage inside of Malacanang Palace and Enrile I've seen that everyone is afraid of Marcos by looking at his Military
Madam Jiang just a simple woman and a wife of a top polititcian who had life-lang and boundless state power. She is not innocent but not the mastermind either. Therefore, the result of trial is not completely fair.

Marcos Sr. just got sick and lost control of the country to Imelda and Ver; whatever the successes of the early years, the later years were chaos and he had to be gotten rid of and the architects of martial law themselves, Enrile and Ramos, defected to Cory, who was of the old oligarchy, restored democracy, but defended, as expected, her family interests. America permitted the Marcos family to escape, to escape the just punishment for their misrule, just as it did with ex-Shah of Iran. This animus against Cory is just the old anti-Sinitism inherited from the old Spanish anti-Semitism. It is just a kind of self-hatred since so many of us have Chinese blood.
When you think about it.... 3 million people marched on that street for overthrowing a leader.... Do you think they represent the other 50 million people who did not came with them?!? Where's the democracy?!?!? Remove cory from the 500 peso bill!!!!

现在想起来在中越战争中分对错了,1979那会西德可满脑子都是苏联。
1979-1989是中国和西方国家“第一次蜜月期”,是以对越南的政治战争为开端,当时的中国从西德购买的雷达设备,美国给予中国的卫星地图,包括苏联军队在蒙古国境内的详细部署情况。 中国和越南的战争从来都不是主要重点,西方关心的是苏联。中国关心的是未来可能的中国苏联战争,关心的是中国和西方经济合作。 这场只有28天的战争的结果,就是苏联宁可打阿富汗,也没帮越南解围。 我在评论中没有看到任何对于越南正面的政治成果,刻意的避免讨论黎笋的政策,以及80年代后效果如何,仅仅停留在战争本身局部胜利上,并且意淫至今。

The truth of history is: in Vietnam's war against French colonial rule and for liberation, China, despite its own poverty, provided Vietnam with huge help, with a total amount of up to 20 billion US dollars! In the Vietnam War that broke out from 1961 to 1975, the North Vietnamese regime supported by the Soviet Union and China defeated the South Vietnamese regime supported by the United States, thus realizing the unification of Vietnam! After Vietnam achieved unification, it drove away the American invaders with its long-term war experience and experience! Vietnam began to boast that its military strength was the third in the world, and ambitiously began to set its sights on Southeast Asian countries such as Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand, intending to expand its territory militarily! At that time, the bilateral relations between the Soviet government and the Chinese government were very tense. In order to win the support and assistance of the Soviet authorities, the Vietnamese authorities began to constantly provoke and create bloodshed on the Vietnam-China border! And forcibly expelled overseas Chinese and Chinese! On January 1, 1979, China and the United States formally established diplomatic relations. On January 29, Deng Xiaoping, then China's top leader, paid a state visit to the United States at the invitation of US President Carter. During the talks, Deng Xiaoping stressed that the provocative actions of the Vietnamese authorities on the Sino-Vietnamese border must be severely responded to! On February 17, the Chinese army began a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam! During the battle, the Chinese army seized a large number of military supplies that China had previously provided to Vietnam! This is intolerable! Ungrateful, using Chinese guns to fight the Chinese army! From then on, the 10-year Sino-Vietnamese border war began!
Apparently he loved the space shuttle simulator so much that they had a hard time getting out! He just wouldn’t move

A tragic and avoidable conflict. China owes Vietnam a huge apology and reparations. As does the U.S., France, and Japan.
now we know what would happen if the people believe leftist alliance propaganda everyone is shtting on the Philippines and there's barely anything we can do Now that information is easy to access, the traitors(mainly DDSh|t) are finding it hard to gather support 😂 never again
Now everybody realize that Serbs fought against proto ISIS forces ANF Croatian nazis.

Di kailangan gumawa ng dahas para pakinggan. Pwde makiusap at parating hinaing sa maayos na paraan. para di kayo masaktan o maging maayos paabot ng hinaing nyo. safe kayo at nagagawa ng walang nasasaktan ok. Pero pag my nasasaktan normal lang pulis o militar ay deploy para maawat. Wag nyo na papalagan dahil sa gulo kaya lang papatigilin. Pero kung magiging kalmado at wala nasasaktan pwde nyo parating hinaing nyo
