Vietnam is making plans for another potential US war on the country, according to an internal document.

The Vietnamese government fears intervention and/or a US-backed "color revolution" (ie, regime-change operation) to try to overthrow the communist party.

Vietnam's Ministry of Defense noted that the US is pressuring countries in Asia to “form a front against China”, which Hanoi refuses to do.

Vietnam is expected to surpass Thailand to become Southeast Asia's second largest economy this year.

Vietnam going from poor to developed, is an absolute triumph of the Marxist central planning model.

Ninh Bình province, Vietnam.

Photo of a curved walkway of weathered wooden planks, snaking over a wide lake as it recedes into the distance. The lake is still, with the stalks of aquatic plants breaking the surface and green leaves floating on the water. Tiny figures of people can be seen walking along the path at the far end. Hilly limestone formations covered in green foliage rise beyond the walkway, reflected in the lake’s surface. The sky above is overcast with glimmers of sunlight breaking through.
