Interesting to observe reaction in #Vietnam to developments in #Myanmar . While official media stick to a neutral position calling for peace and stability, social media are largely supportive of anti-coup protesters.

Just as we near the time of the Christmas bombing, let me remind you that it was Henry Kissinger who advised President Richard Nixon to bomb Hanoi in 1972 to make the North Vietnamese "negotiate seriously". 2,400 Vietnamese lost their lives then.

Today marks 50 years since Ho Chi Minh passed away. Here’s an interesting photo of him playing pool. 2/9 is also #Vietnam ’s National Day. Not may people know but as of 20 Oct it will be the longest serving #communist regime in the world, surpassing the Soviet Union (27,076 days).
