    Seriously. Traveling to Vietnam was eye-opening. We did nothing good to that country and then they did nothing to help themselves afterwards, probably because of all the good ol’ American Corruption that came after we firebombed it back to the stone age.

      Wtf are you on about? I’ve been to Vietnam several times and the progress they have achieved in such a short period of time is incredible. They have built megacities on the ground where the yanks firebombed. Have you been to Da Nang? Walked around HCMC? Spoken to the people? They are evidently working against the corruption, as we can see in this article, whereas where I live everyone knows the govt sends cash to their buddies and no one can do anything about it?

        Sounds like they have made a lot of progress despite being a corrupt shithole.

          Frankly man I find this very insulting and pretty racist. You don’t have a good word to say about them eh?

            Is it racist to call a latrine a shithole? What if the entire country was a poorly managed, poorly constructed, poorly infrastructured, poorly supported, and poorly developed piece of land going to be called? I call it a shithole. Harsh? Sure. Racist? No.

        Lol no they aren’t, they are all making bank by fucking those below them over. I’ve lived there for years, it’s endemic and sickening; people are left stranded to die because they divert money and aid to their own pockets rather than to the people. Corruption is head to toe in government agencies and banks.
