That much is true...hi,guy, without the support from Soviet, Vietnamese would not have had any resource to suuport its mission in Cambodia...
And you lost that proxy...Vietnamese was just a proxy of Soviet against China.
China didn't do a single thing to make CCCP collapse. Yankees were the ones propping it up by buying our oil and sending us grain. What killed it was a grain famine and a collapse of the price of oil. If Gorby had saved a reserve fund like Putin did and not let everyone say what they wanted under the aegis of perestroika, the CCCP would still exist. On a personal note, I am glad it is gone.China indeed failed to make Vietnamese retreat from Cambodia in 1979.
But Chinese indeed as well as Yankees made Soviet collapse in 1992.
Have you looked at Vietnam recently? Their economy is booming and I don't see them buying Chinese weapons. I do see them buying Russian. :thank_you2:After losing the support from Soviet, Vietnam became one poor doll at the disposal of China.:icon_salut:
