Vietnam needs to pursue a clear and independent policy and under no circumstance allow US bases in its soil. Learn from us Japanese --- never start a global war (something we still are paying for even some 70 years later) , never invite foreign forces into one's soils -- for us it was no choice of our own --- it was imposed on us as per the terms of unconditional surrender of the Japanese Empire.
Always read the fine lines with US agreements , their diplomats are shrewd and will exploit any weakness. To their favor.
Totally true. There are many forms of world domination; the traditional form was based on military power, occupation, etc. We can say that's the typical style in effect until WW2.
After WW2, a certain country changed the way to do it and has mastered the process.
Now control is done by controlling the international financial system and its institutions and by having their currency as the world reserve currency. Isn't it nice to just print money and buy anything you like with it?
Add to that cultural domination by virtue of movies, television, etc which bring the lifestyle and culture of that country to everybody in the planet, etc, etc, these are just a few examples.
Correct. I admit at least with these Chinese led institutions there will be representative say on the members. Even with the AIIB, there's nothing wrong with it. Did you see how Obama publicly rebuked the British government? You don't do that to a long time ally and partner especially when that said country is only following economic interest. It's not like as if the UK abandoned America, the UK is still a member of the IMF, WB, NATO. Even imposed sanctions on Russia as per US requests.
Still that is not enough ?
As for Japan, I don't know. Sometimes I'm infuriated how America has us by the balls and loves to squeeze it whenever she can to influence our policies. Pardon my French, amigo, but seriously, $hit!
Good, you can see that, now, what happens when a country opposes that system?
All those elements of control get used against that country, their economy can get recked by those financial instruments, speculation against their currency, oh so many ways, color revolutions, etc, etc. The mainstream press is a corporate unit that follows the official line, otherwise its bad for business.
Do you see where I'm going? Translation, Ukraine, proxy war to weaken the rising power that dares to defy the hegemon power. Just open your mind and check the possibilities and you'll find a lot of things that will make you think a lot.
