It’s way to soon to say this is Russia’s Vietnam. It may be Russia’s “Slovinia,” “Bosnia/Croatia,” and “Kosovo,” though.
Im saying that this is US Vietnam Nr 2.
South Vietnam(Ukraine) government that is imposed my military coup, and has en major support of people nor controls its territory is proclaimed by US authorities as “Ally” and us gives them support - while on the other hand Russia will just provide weapons and smuggle explosives and other stuff into South Vietnam (Ukraine) for the rebels...
Than we will have Gulf Of Tonkin incident (maybe attack on one of few US destroyers in Black Sea) and... after ten years...
