“Raising Tensions Between China and Vietnam”
It’s like Ali vs. Pee Wee Herman
Vietnam’s been kicking China ass for a thousand years. Has China ever won a war beside a civil war?
I have many young friends in Vietnam. They hate China and like the US. The next generation of Vietnamese will be very close to the US.
More natural gas found......liberals going insane!

Both were Ho’s allies. Both the USSR and PRC supplemented the DRVN’s military forces.
Before the Sino-Soviet split. China supported the Khmer Rouge, which did not get along with North Vietnam, it was the NVA that ultimately liberated Cambodia in '79, much to the consternation of Beijing.
Correct. After the Sino-Soviet split, things became a bit dicey for Viet Nam’s commies.
There was an article in the WSJ by James Mullvah, CEO of CONOCOPhillips, mostly about the future of natural gas in the world.
The comment section set off flurry of comments from professional coal lobbyists for the national coal council.
The Democrats and the Obama administration is trying hard to push coal as the energy source for the third world and doesn’t want to admit that the natural gas is so plentiful and much cleaner than coal.
The Obama administration wants green energy for the US, even to point of suppressing the use and drilling of natural gas in the US, while pushing coal.
....all about union votes.
I’m wondering what Exxon knows that we don’t about stability in areas like Iraq and the South China Sea... or what they may have underestimated?
They keep taking risks they have not taken in the past Libya, Iraq and the disputed zone of the South China Sea.
China and Vietnam fighting? Dreams do come true!
We need to front the Vietnamese some nifty (and untraceable) weapons, just to even things out a bit...
The Vietnamese? The people who killed 55,000 Americans who were there to help them? The people who killed millions of their own people to replace the money-grubbing industrialists with communist money-grubbing industrialists? The people who built a socialist paradise where young boys prostitute themselves out to American homosexuals so they can eat? Where you can grow rich working for the Chinese plant owner for $100 a month? I’ve got a weapon for them. It’s called The Immediate Grenade. You pull the pin and it goes off. I’ll sell them millions of them.
Sorry you feel that way. The Germans and Japanese killed more and they’re allies of a sort. Heck, the Brits killed a lot us and we’re best friends.
I would take a little solace in the hopes that they’d be used to kill Chicoms, who also killed Americans in Korea.
My money is on China, in a fight with Vietnam.
The vietnamese fought the chinese in the late 70’s after the US left viet nam. The chinese were badly bloodied and went away.

It’s 2011 and times have changed. My money is on the Chinese and their massive numbers of soldiers, technology, etc.
