After Trump has threatened Greenland, Canada, etc shouldn’t every country be preparing for a possible American war?

>due to the U.S.’s belligerent nature we need to be vigilant to prevent the U.S. and its allies from ‘creating a pretext’ to launch an invasion
Pretty reasonable take but this is going to be used as the pretext

“The 2nd U.S. Invasion Plan provides one of the most clear-eyed insights yet into Vietnam’s foreign policy,” Swanton wrote in his analysis. “It shows that far from viewing the U.S. as a strategic partner, Hanoi sees Washington as an existential threat and has no intention of joining its anti-China alliance. ”

Preparing for all kinds of war is what all militaries do all the time.

I’m confused as how these journalist got to know about this document that’s supposed to be secret? Living in Vietnam and I havent even heard about this kind of stuff. The closet thing we talk a lots recently is a plan for a trade war

They beat the US before so it only makes sense to be ready again.

Let’s be honest – everybody’s planning for a potential war with the United States as it has become the number one threat to the world.

All modern militaries should have war game plans against all potential adversaries. Even more so when a hot headed criminal is in power of TWO world superpowers.

Since my university day, the army instructors always taught young students that Vietnamese military’s only mission is to prepare for an incoming war with the China or a war with the USA.

I mean it’s not crazy. Churchill had serious plans to invade Norway. In a world war, if you need cooperation but don’t get it, and it can decide the fate of the war… it can be effectively similar to being opposed.

Bold of anyone to assume that America will actually step in should China take Taiwan.

This is normal. Every military around the world has made plans against foreign militaries, especially ones with global reach like the US. Nothing new.

Vietnam is the only country currently holding permanent security agreements with the US, UK, France, China, Russia & North Korea. They earned this through “pragmatic diplomacy” – they know what they’re doing with this “leak” – pragmatic diplomacy. Softly sending a message to their other partners, never directly criticizing a partner & causing them to ‘lose face’ – this is the Vietnamese way. Other nations should follow their example – be humble in public while showing soft strength when required.

I’m an American, I DO NOT WANT A WAR. Fuck this administration and it’s bs. Fuck politics in general. I just want to live my life in peace and not mess with anybody elses. To everyone in the world, I am so sorry for my country and it’s actions. I promise you we don’t want this. A growing number are suspecting the election numbers were manipulated, and I sincerely hope in the midterms we can get enough people to impeach these fools before they cause a war

The US government is as corrupt as any government in the world. They are in every other countries business across the globe. No one likes or respects Americans. Hopefully, at some point the other world leaders will come together and form a pact against the US similar to NATO. Banning all trade, travel and imports and exports from the US if caught terrorizing any country within the pact. This would stop a lot of the nonsense and lies that are occurring with no regards for other countries sovereignty.
