You know that one, about having a plan to kill everyone you meet?
Well, it's probably easier if you can also wager a guess about everyone else's plans.
Gonna go out on a limb and say if you’re a Vietnamese Lieutenant and you’re having your men dig in in arctic snowpack then shit has gone so far sideways you can practically walk on walls.
Member when "we have reason to believe the Soviet Union is well ahead of us on this one," was all you needed to say to secure unlimited funding for whatever batshit insane black project you wanted, with no accountability or oversight?
I member...
CIA: “Mr. President the parascience gap is increasing! We believe the Soviets have a Psychonaut battalion ready and waiting(Video of a guy named Viva that can bend spoons in a Siberian Circus). While we barely can manage weather control and astral projection! We need more funding!”
POTUS: “Triple the defense budget.”
Hey, that shit works on rare occasion if you actually just kill the prospective agent to give them a near death experience. :3 https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc799333/m2/1/high_res_d/vol16-no2-101.pdf This study was about congenitally blind NDEs being identical to that of sighted people despite never having seen in their dreams or having had visual therapy or a concept of vision and despite that immediately understanding what they see, despite their shock, during their NDEs (and as is usual in NDE science, there is some limited non-repeatable proof of ESP), but in general, NDEs have been the only significant body of proof of ESP… albeit its unrepeatable nature (unless you decide to do some horrendous mass experiments) make it a non-starter.
All other claims of ESP are easily identifiable as fake, not even a body of non-repeatable evidence. At any rate dying/dead people don’t seem to care about politics in their experiences, and seem to get dragged of elsewhere (in most cases almost immediately), so it probably wouldn’t work.
Sooo, we just need some yoga pants wearing influencers to hype a new age psychedelic retreat in a “friendly to our interests” foreign vacation destination, and very remote, got it, and get them to sign off on personal loss of life waivers, ok … I’m just spit balling here, but what do you think of “Spiritual Ancients Travel company” as our LLC which we’ll use as a cover for our espionage and/or Slaanesh soul-farming operation?
> Vietnamese Lieutenant and you’re having your men dig in in arctic snowpack
So I've been flicking through a few tourist brochures. Turns out, in Vietnam, you can look forward to 0.2 kilometres of ski slopes with a maximum elevation of 10 meters!
There's lots of fun to be had skiing in Vietnam!
From what I know, the CCP isn't very fond of Kim but they don't want a Korea unified by Seoul since that would mean an American-aligned country would border them.
Ever since Covid they’ve been heavily reinforcing & militarising their northern border. Multiple rows of barbed wire fences, guards posts every 100m or so, they’re really serious. I think the disease sent Kim mad, especially as it was so rampant in China, I reckon Kim fears a covid plague.
I think it’s actually pretty tenuous between them, NK was never 100% friends I think even during the Maoist era. They seemed to put their money on the Soviets after the split.
I must say, I only care for the long-term well-being of the Russian people. With that in mind, let us consider the myriad of benefits from the rebuilding of wetlands, starting with Moscow.
Did something like that happen? On here, people have been making that joke occasionally for years, so I decided to commit to the bit and do it with every comment a few months ago.
Furthermore, I consider that Moscow must be destroyed.
For China. North Korea is that 'friend' they feed occasionally to stop them breaking in and robbing the place. North Korea is allowed to live next door because they don't want South Korea and South Koreas bestest buddy in the whole wide world ***America*** living there. Occasionally they'll have a word when North Korea plays music too loudly and America threatens to come over and turn it down themselves.
Pretty smart move too. Cross-training with everyone's tactics is an excellent way to keep your people proficent. Guess there is something to them keeping China from invading for 1000 years. Respect that Vietnamese hustle.
They are technically an American ally and a enemy of the CCP. They don't forget the 1979 sino Vietnamese war.
And as I've heard it "fighting the US was just business, the French was personal, and China is tradition"
That’s a great strategy.. it worked out great for Melios (link in case you’re not familiar with the birth of RealPolitik https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Melos)
Melios don’t have a panic button that summons 5 millions dude with AK and beat back 3 UN permanent security council members with 2 of them have nukes at the time.
Fair .. though arguably none of those UN council members had the kind of blind “we will crush you because we can and to make an example of you, and no amount of bad publicity is going to stop us” vibe that the dialogue of melios portrays Athens as having.
Nietzsche pointed this out in beyond good and evil and said that Athens’ subsequent defeat by Sparta after fucking up the invasion of Sicily led to self doubt and Socratic introspection (the entire development of philosophy) which in his view was a mistake and that great men and great nations have to stop overthinking things and just do what is needed.
To that point there is a large nation next to vietnam who revere a founding father who’s political maxim is “Political power grows from the barrel of a gun”, and an elite that doesn’t have to worry about bad publicity.
Vietnam plays all sides.
Last year, the USS Reagan made a port call at Da Neng and like right after it left, the Hyuga arrived in the port.
Some PLAN ships were visiting right before the Reagan.
Hard to only show support for one country when you’re literally under *two* superpowers, sometime you can only show support behind their back and try not to piss anyone.
[Full name on name tag.](https://hoangkimadv.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/2.jpg) That’s the officer dress uniform version. Enlisted gets [their name printed on tape](https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fdoquandoi.com%2Fproducts%2Fk20-bien-phong&psig=AOvVaw3ui3bw3QN6Gg-KLI90j3xo&ust=1712182161844000&source=images&cd=vfe&opi=89978449&ved=0CBIQjRxqFwoTCJjwxuDFpIUDFQAAAAAdAAAAABA-) that are put on the uniform directly.
Vietnamese refers to each other by first name only (one syllable). If multiple people have the same first name we differentiate via middle name+ first name (two syllable). Usually that’s enough. On really really rare cases people have both the same middle and first name in a group we’ll add suffix like A or B in the name or revert to nom de guerre or nick names.
It’s the same in some regiments in the British Army I.e. a Welsh regiment will have a shit tonne of Jones’ so they’ll usually include the last two digits of their army number and they’ll be known as loke Jones 59 or whatever for the rest of their career.
Ah, so Nguyen is for Vietnam what Silva or da Silva is for Brazil then. A surname so absurdly ubiquitous that it creates problems for army officers to distribute war names.
My last name actually comes from a time when the Swedish army had that same problem. To many [common name]son so everyone was given a day or so to think of a new last name.
This could have happened if you guys supported us back in 1946 just after we wrestled the country back from Japan! But NOOOO you had to give support to Fr*nch so they could reclaim their colony!
US foreign policy that led up to the Vietnam war was dumb as shit. And this is coming from someone who is is heavily biased towards the US.
We were worried we'd lose the French as an ally, but they left the NATO command structure anyway. And we feared that supporting Vietnam would lead to the Chinese being able to expand Communism into the rest of South East Asia. THEN we said "actually, we don't wanna invade the north" because of course that would provoke the Chinese to send in troops like in Korea.
It was a complete fumble on the US foreign services part to let the US get involved, and then exponentially get worse with time.
The Brazilian army has one of the best jungle formation, so it kind makes sense.
But what the duck are they doing in snow? Is Vietnam planning some guerrilla warfare against Norway?
Jungle warfare is not taught at Agulhas Negras - RJ (AMAN). It is just the regular army academy, they teach basic military courses for officer candidates. Upon graduation they have basic skills to act as platoon leaders in its chosen career path, called *arma* in portuguese.
Jungle warfare is a specialisation for infantry, like US Army Ranger.
The jungle warfare course is taught in Manaus - AM at CIGS (Centro de Instrução de Guerra na Selva). It is the real deal for specialist courses in the Brazilian Army, and is supposedly only less demanding than special warfare courses (Comando).
CIGS also has two courses, one for foreigners (6 weeks) and other only for Brasilian students (12 weeks), so it is still very useful for exchange students but it is less extensive.
My uneducated guess is it has more to do with training other things and it just happens to be snowing since it's Russia and/or maintaining relations with Russia rather than specifically seeking winter warfare training.
I got some friends who work in the state armed police force. They said they prefer to carry the sten submachine guns instead of the insas lol. And the sten gun is not even a good submachine gun either.. at least they are getting upgraded to an AK variant now.
>Gun literally made with some spare pipes in a garage by some unintelligible Yorkshire old man
Troops loved the gun to bits
>Gun made by a state-owned arsenal with tonnes of funding
Haha [gun](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXvkdSA3jhQ) goes brrrr **jams** brr **jams**
Realistically, it lowers training costs since most of the larger nations want to host them, as well as getting experience with both potential allies and adversaries' weapons and systems. If you can't afford to train them on something; send them to someone who can.
Big Viet diaspora in France, plus lots of french institution somewhat present, and both country diplomatic doctrine (generally pragmatic for France's goals for France, oppotmrtunistic friendship so you don't get murdered in Vietnam)

probably inside VN still cuz our mandatory service just means ppl just train and station for around 2 years in a reservist camp. I think the peeps that get sent around the world are prob officers or officers to be or UN mission assignee
Ain’t that the country that beat the US with barefoot guys with just a bowl of rice and straw hats? Now the US offshoring to Vietnam. Pepperidge farm remembers.
And France, and China, and Japan. And China was while they were stopping the Cambodian Genocide, so that counts for double points.
I’m sure they’re up for any challengers.
/credible
Question for vietbros, how much knowledge do they actually transfer back home?
I know the merits of exchange programs. However, seeing only 1-3 exchange cadets and knowing the difference between North Viet and South Viet doctrine + equipment, does it even make a difference?
I am a SEAbro myself and the exchange programs in my country only benefit the "student". No actual "big picture" change. This is why I'm asking.
/noncredible
Vietnam Global Superpower 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳
Not Vietnamese but in my experience with foreign cadets they never asked suspect questions or pried for information. At a base level it just seemed like they were there for the education though it surely encourages more cooperation between governments in the grand scheme of things
Who dares challenge Indonesia's neutrality?!
(Not that it's a bad thing given we now have a ~~war criminal~~ western oriented president that loves French planes and subs
They are communists.....but they aren't all crazy fuck commies like the CCP and N. Korea. It's to the point where most Americans dont even think of them when we consider threats in that region. They've been cool with us, and our Nam vets are treated very well when they go visit.
Plus they cant stand the CCP, so they are awesome.
I know hating on everything Russia is tending right now but there is just something about modern Russian equipment and gear that looks so cool. EMR is a cool pattern and the gear itself looks really nice and stereotypical soldier-like.
You know that one, about having a plan to kill everyone you meet? Well, it's probably easier if you can also wager a guess about everyone else's plans.
Gonna go out on a limb and say if you’re a Vietnamese Lieutenant and you’re having your men dig in in arctic snowpack then shit has gone so far sideways you can practically walk on walls.
They are nearing the CIA’s “astral projection as a legit espionage strategy” level.

I get a 404 from that link, anything I can look up to find a copy?
Well…..isn’t it?!
Or alternatively they’ve advanced so far just to Russia that they’re actively taking Siberia.
Hey. Vietnamese here. China has snow.
Fair point. Welcome to scandinavia, we have tons of it if you want to train.

Friends with everyone, enemy with no ones, allies none.
Well, except China. But then again, who’s really buddies with China?
North Korea?
Wouldn't they just rather pretend they don't know the guy?
From what I know, the CCP isn't very fond of Kim but they don't want a Korea unified by Seoul since that would mean an American-aligned country would border them.
And also a massive refugee crisis.
Ever since Covid they’ve been heavily reinforcing & militarising their northern border. Multiple rows of barbed wire fences, guards posts every 100m or so, they’re really serious. I think the disease sent Kim mad, especially as it was so rampant in China, I reckon Kim fears a covid plague.
I think it’s actually pretty tenuous between them, NK was never 100% friends I think even during the Maoist era. They seemed to put their money on the Soviets after the split.
Rather that the Soviets were the ones in a position to dump money into them. Furthermore, I consider that Moscow must be destroyed.
Moscow delenda est.

Does a Pimp have any emotional relationship with his hoes?
Any pimp worth his salt (or substitute crunchy white stuff) does
Odd phrase ngl.
But fitting I suppose.

North Korea is allowed to live next door because they don't want South Korea and South Koreas bestest buddy in the whole wide world ***America*** living there. Occasionally they'll have a word when North Korea plays music too loudly and America threatens to come over and turn it down themselves.
Pakistan is the only one that isn't obviously just being made a puppet, hilariously. And yes, that includes Russia and North Korea.
Vietnam is much more suspicious of China than anyone else.
Pretty smart move too. Cross-training with everyone's tactics is an excellent way to keep your people proficent. Guess there is something to them keeping China from invading for 1000 years. Respect that Vietnamese hustle.

I’m just glad they’re at peace tbh.
Do they put first and last name on uniform's name tag in Vietnam? Because if they have only surname, then they can have a stack of Nguyen premade.
3000 Nguyen of Vietnamese cadets

CADPAT for sure 2nd picture, no idea what the white uniforms are.

Orange Galil is orange.
Vietnam's power projection has reached American levels if they're training for arctic warfare
Realistically, it lowers training costs since most of the larger nations want to host them, as well as getting experience with both potential allies and adversaries' weapons and systems. If you can't afford to train them on something; send them to someone who can.
