US is getting a Vietnam victory after 48 years
Share on FacebookShare on X

In the pages of modern history, the Vietnam War stands as a misstep that the United States will always regret. The saga that unfolded on the battlefield was not one of triumphant conquest, but rather an embarrassing lesson for Washington D.C.

The United States, once a symbol of unstoppable might, found itself caught in a quagmire that ultimately revealed the fragility of its aspirations. The US was defeated humiliatingly in the Vietnam War which lasted 20 years.

For the US, Vietnam was a crown jewel it didn’t want to take a communist turn. The echoes of that turbulent era have resonated through time, etching scars on both the land and the collective memory. Since then, Vietnam, a land once marred by conflict has risen from the ashes like a phoenix, united by the spirit of defiance against foreign dominion. 

The war did more than shape a nation; it solidified a legacy of resistance that defied the odds. Yet, as the dust settled, a new chapter unfolded, one that saw adversaries evolve into unlikely partners. 

China, always ready to seize opportunities from the missteps of others, capitalized on Vietnam’s journey toward recovery. The memories of were Sino-Vietnam War were buried as China came forward to assist Vietnam’s recovery after 35 years of war. 

The China-Vietnam Rift

Diplomacy replaced conflict as both nations recognized the merits of cooperation. Economic ties flourished, with trade and investment booming like never before. But, as they say, the shadows of the past always come back to ghost the future.

Good relations often spiral in unexpected directions. And so, the dispute of the South China Sea has become a battleground of maritime tensions once more between Vietnam and China. 

In recent times, China flexed its muscle, and clashed with a Philippine vessel in the disputed waters, sparking diplomatic firestorms. Vietnam, a major player in this high-stakes drama, criticized China over the clash and asserted that very soon, Vietnam will take major diplomatic action.

Biden’s Hanoi Gamble 

Reportedly, Vietnam and US are all set to enter a major deal challenging China. According to media reports, US President Joe Biden is preparing to set foot in Hanoi. Vietnam is now poised to be a cornerstone in Biden’s vision for the Indo-Pacific. The tables have turned, as two adversaries are all set to come together. 

According to white house officials, Vietnam desires a partnership with the United States, including some good defense and co-operation deals, the first such in 48 years.

Vietnam is all set to drift close to the Western embrace, while also fostering a façade of friendly neighborliness. A war-torn nation that once bore the brunt of American hegemony is now vying to become a key player in reshaping the balance of power in the region. 

The battlegrounds of yesterday have become the negotiating tables of today. The Vietnam War’s legacy continues to evolve, a testament to the fluidity of history and the unyielding spirit of nations.

This is undoubtedly history in the making as Biden’s plane flies towards Vietnam; Vietnam is turning away from neutrality and welcoming the US with open arms. However, Vietnam must take care to avoid compromising on its goal of confronting China with all of its might. Vietnam must not get used as a pawn by the US; otherwise, it will merely turn into another Laos.
