- Since Russia invaded Ukraine, Germany has joined other western governments in sending billions in military support to Ukraine. But as the war drags on, a growing number of Germans want their government to stop sending weapons and sit down with Russia to find a solution to the conflict.

i like how one of the protestors is asked would he want support from other countries if germany was invaded and like any good politician he avoided the question completly
Like the free world supported Iraq when it was invaded by the USA, right?
"In my point of view, they need to stop the war at once."
Well gosh, I didn't know we have such a geopolitics expert at this meeting...
They always do, they have no real argument, they should constrain their complaints to the web, we don't need their idiocy right now.
@@eksiarvamus Common sense is a rare perk these days. By wishing people can achieve anything it seems.
@@brutalistdude301 As someone from Germany, i can tell you that thankfully especially the young generation doesnt support far right parties, but i can tell you that this country has been dissapointing and that especially politics are dead.
It’s like they think that they can just ask Russia to stop.
👉👈 Um, will you please stop invading Ukraine?
"Dear Putin, please stop. Sincerely, a concerned person on TH-cam. Luv yu xx."
true, they are adults but with a kids mentality
Any negotiation that hinges on ceding Ukrainian territory to Russia is a non--starter. Georgia and Chechnya negotiated settlements with Russia to end war only to have Russia return later for more. Russia cannot be trusted.
I mean mate, they just want peace. The modern life made men weak. We got used being peaceful and we forgot that we have to fight at some point.
Love how the one dude at the start just 100% ignored the question about 'if this happened to Germany, wouldn't you want military aid?' 'I think everyone just needs to stop fighting.' God, people are so dense, naive, and in their little bubbles that they can't see how sometimes... the world just sucks ass, and some people are inherently evil and cannot be reasoned with. You'd think that the Germans of all people would know better.
Right, some people are too dense to get one simple thing - if they don't like one country's propaganda and it's bullshit, it doesn't mean that the other side is right. Do you remember the time when any propaganda was pain truth? So maybe them people should read some books on history and stop believing their government cares about them.

Shame they weren’t in that frame of mind in the 1930’s 😂😂
Don't need to go that far. In 1999 The NATO bombed a European Capital , i.E. Belgrade.

“They need to stop the war” from the author "just the homeless need to buy houses" and "people are starving? so let them eat cakes"
I didn’t know that in Germany rallies are allowed for crazy people, and they are not treated in hospitals
The Germans have always been Psychotic
In Germany we have freedom of speech, everyone can have a rally for whatever they want as long as they hurt or threaten no one.
@@timokohler6631 Yeah, because LAST time that happened, guess who took control?
To allow people to have a peaceful rally and exercise freedom of speech is crucial for a democratic system. However, allowing potentially armed people to storm an important government building - that really seems crazy to me.
Do you think Ukraine would start killing people in the Donbass if it knew that the people of Europe would not be able to see this and would not say it was bad? How do you think it happened that for eight years the European media were talking about anything but how the people of eastern Ukraine suffer because they do not agree with the Nazi and anti-Russian agenda of Ukraine? Tell me, if you lived next door to Cinderella's stepmother, to whose house Cinderella's grandfather would come and present her with a bill for Cinderella's work for many years and for the traces of her beatings on Cinderella's body, would it be very easy for you to look into his eyes? After all, you drank coffee with this stepmother every day and invited her to visit
those people live in such a romanticised world - I wish I could be part of it
It's romantic to think Ukraine will win. Ukrainians could be happily living under Russian guidance but they are dumb enough to believe people like you.
They stand with Russian flags and shout that they are not enemies of Russia, but they do not even know that in Russia for such words about peace and friendship with opponents they would be tortured and, possibly, imprisoned for 15-20 years and would be forcibly sent to war as cannon fodder.
Lobotomy might help ;)
Zis is German pacifismus.
It says the peace will emerge once people stop fighting. What it fails to take into account, is sometimes there's an idiot out there who a WANTS TO HAVE FIGHT. If that happens, you supposed to chase him away with a tullip not to hurt him.
They are all in theier late 50s who grew up in post-war, West Germany anti-war, anti-nuclear propaganda. Weird product of a weird time.
When Germany lost in ww2 instead of getting genocide they got money and investments. I guess some people grew up to believe that defending isn't necessary and that for ukraine to simply give up fighting gonna end up as well as it did for germans.
"Makes more sense for us to be friends together on the same continent"
I mean mate, if your friend is strangling your other friends and basically killing them, will you remain a friend until your turn comes or will you turn around and help your strangled friend and tell the agressor that this is not right?
Some people... Genuine fairies flying in their skulls
Saying 'friend' to a country disqualifies that guy anyway xD
Depends those guys don't really view ukraine/russia as friends. I think those guys just don't want their country to be apart of the conflict at all.
It's understandable because it's just geopolitics and all of that. Most people don't care too much about what happens in other countries. And honestly doing nothing other than making snarky youtube comments isn't doing much either.
@@168original7 "...just geopolitics..." What weasel-words! No, comrade, it's just the murder of hundreds of thousands and the destruction of the legacy of millions. Count the character of your company as you will, "most people" where I live very much care about this genocide and spread of the Russian gangster state; those who don't care are a fractional minority.
@@168original7 Well in that case saying "Makes more sense for us to be friends together on the same continent" doesn't hold any value, it's just they don't want to be involved.
@@168original7 Yeah, but you can bet they'd have something to say if the US was trying to take over Spain with brutal war.
The attendents holding Gadsden flags while singing "US go home." I guess they don't get the irony.
Depth of understanding and knowledge of history are decidedly missing in the German right/conspiracy crowd
the whole reason they exist as a country past 1945 is cuz we protected them
Those are nazis. The Swastika is outlawed in Germany, so nazis in Germany picked up confederate symbols, like the confederate flag, the Gadsden flag and the like.
dude go home....
One of the things this conflict has highlighted, is that most people don’t care what took place before they were born. It’s why, when Putin talks about pre-1991 justifications for Crimea, or Ukraine, he’s automatically dismissed…90% of those fighting Russia were born after. Same with Germany, as 1945 was 80 years ago. Governments often appreciate history, but individuals are only concerned about how something might affect their life, especially those who are relatively comfortable.
random german guy - "just make peace"
NATO and putin - "omg why didn't we think of that!"
World peace ensues, random German guy is crowned king of the United Earth kingdom.
It's like that scene in The Onion movie when the stoned hippie gets hired by the UN to broker a peace deal.
the only way to have peace with a guy like that is to defeat him,
It gives serious Chamberlain vibes. Literally nothing holds Putin back from just resuming his invasion after a ceasefire because he has no respect for treaties if it doesn't benefit him

@@MyComedyNetwork Serbia was already in a state of war before 1999. And given the ethnic cleansing that happened in Bosnia, it’s not a surprise NATO didn’t want to repeat the mistake of doing nothing.
This is ever the cry of some of the comfortable when their neighbor's house is on fire- "we should stop sending fire trucks- wherever they go there are fires. We must demand the fire to put itself out!"
Its more like the firefighters are actually adding more fuel to the fire. The war is only getting worse. Sending weapons wont add benefit to the war in a macro sense. Ukraine is not NATO and shouldn't be treated like a semi nato state.
@@pik6921 Why would Ukraine do that?
Funny how that is never aplied to African or Middle East contries...
As much as I want peace their can't be any because Ukraine want all their land back and Russia want more territories so your asking for Ukraine to give up land if say they should stop the war and Ukraine won't want that and Russia want more land and their nothing going to be happy give those land back it like a burglar come into your house and say half of your home is their
@@pik6921
it makes no sense whatsoever for german pacifists to protest the war when there is no equivalent political movement protesting the war in Russa. their demonstrations are nothing but appeasement of Putrin's aggression and brutality. we learned in the second world war that wishing for peace is not enough when dealing with the ambitions of a brutal dictator
I mean, yeah, their point is less people would die if the war ended. They aren't very concerned if Russia erases Ukrainian people after, in their minds those people could just move if they don't like Russia. Can't be the other way around though, where Russia leaves and takes anyone who legit wants to be Russian with them.
Your mistake is not realizing that this is only happening because of NATO expansion. Just like the US will not allow China or Russia to set up military bases in Mexico who would be getting liberated from the cartels and their drugs the next day with the help of the US army, nor will the other superpowers allow the US to do that (e.g. Ukraine, Taiwan). It's the US who is creating these wars by encroaching on them. Those states should be militarily neutral, just as Mexico is forced to be by the US. John Mearsheimer's lecture released in 2016 predicted exactly as it played out. Titled "Why is Ukraine the West's Fault? Featuring John Mearsheimer".
They've always done Muscovy's bidding.
Well, there is equivalent protest against russias war, much more numerous than the other louder no weapon protesters

As a German let me tell you, that this "peace demonstration" was announed and "hyped" for several months. When it happened they were roughly 10k people there. I dont know, why VICE didnt do that, but the driving figures behind those demonstration are Sahra Wagenknecht (Die Linke ((The Left)) and Alice Schwarzer, which was a huge womens rights activist in the 70s and now is a Terf. Both of these wrote a "peace-manifest" to the government which was signed by 750k people, Germany has roughly 80 mil people. It declares to stop the delivery of weapons to Ukraine and demands peace talks between "the west" and Russia. Lets get to the problem here: the conflict between Ukraine and Russia is much older than the resulting conflict after Russia did a full scale invasion. Lets just mention the annexion of crimea in 2014, where the country was in huge turmoil and dealing with a corrupt president, basically Ukraine wanted to be in the European Union, but Janukowytsch didnt, altough it was his promise to do so if he would be elected as president (read Maidan Demonstration to get more info) or the "friendship" contract made in the 90s between Russia and Ukraine, where Russia respects the sovereignty of Ukraine, in exchange Ukraine had to hand over the remaining nuclear bombs, which were stored in there at the time of the USSR. To put it simply there has been A LOT of trying from the west to get peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, but Putin especially was never willing to give in just a slight bit, because he is stern in his believes and doesnt budge, his propaganda wouldnt even allow it. Finally it is my conception, that those peace protesters are not well informed on the matter and just want to have their better times back, before the war was happening, i.e. getting cheap gas from Russia and not having to deal with inflation, which is roughly 9% and will slowly decline now. Also most of these people use Russian propaganda, especially Sahra Wagenknecht, who was called out by the Russian journalist Marina Wladimirowna Owsjannikowa (she held the "no war" poster in the background of the news broadcast in Russia), she said roughly translated "you speak as you were paid by the Russian Federation", but the followers of Sahra Wagenknecht are not interested in that. To sum it up, this movement isnt huge in Germany and is littered with far right, far left and poorly informed "pacifists", who cant deal with a fairly low inflation + moderate gas prices and are scared about refugees, because they are "different"... 161 and Slava Ukraini
thanks! Russian interference in Ukraine in recent history goes deeper than that too, After the Orange revolution Russia basically began it's anti-Ukraine campaign, and they spent a LOT of resources in getting Yanukovich elected and then strong armed him to cancel the EU association agreement last minute - Ukraine is an obsession for Putin since the early years of his presidency.
It is the truth that any ceasefire will just be a pause before Russia can invade again - the only peace conditions are 1. the complete destruction and subjugation of Ukraine (which will be followed by harassment and invasion of the next country ) or 2. Russian war crimes tribunals, reperations, de-nazification of Russia - basically forcing russia off the imperialist path
Agreed!
Ukrainians diffrent? 😂 people are trully stupid. And they get stupidier by every year.
Дякую за тверезу позицію та підтримку❤
Totally agree! I think these people are mostly poorly educated, selfish, and pro-russian. They shouldn't forget that the US helped a war-torn Germany to rebuild its economy.
That guy with the Russian flag protesting for peace had me rolling. Just the thought of protesting for peace with the flag of a country where people who protest for peace get arrested, fined, jailed...or even forced into the army where they have to kill or be killed in the war they were protesting against...is just so lacking awareness it feels like a slapstick comedy skit. 🤦

Moreover, it's a flag of the aggressors and war criminals.
These people are Neo Nazis that pretends to be "peaceful". Their real goal is the end of NATO and the return of the chaotic national divide of each nation. They hate the globalisation so much they are willing to side with Russia to abolish EU NATO efforts of unity. Their endgoal is Germans only matters. Its a shame that we see a return of stupidness again. But Democratic Nations will always have these kind of problem. There will be always other thinking people, but once getting arrested they scream about human rights and pretends to fight for a good cause. I detest these people but you cannot really force them to think otherwise.

Haha. That's good point. Or else look at it as standard justification for why Germany should be friend of Russia, just because Russia is on the same continent, but really it is about to create mutually supportive continental power and divide spheres of influence, unfortunate for countries of central and Eastern Europe who are in between Germany and Russia (extreme materialisation of this idea was Ribentropp-Molotov pact 1939 and beginning of WW2 by joint German and Russian invasion of countries in between like Poland and Baltic States and so on).

Russia will lose. Like how America lost in Vietnam. Small country beat a bigger one. Larger country started a war they had no business starting both times. I guess it’s easy to start a war when your own family isn’t fighting.
"We want peace" is a nice euphemism for "I'm willing to allow Ukraine to be subjugated, so that I can be less anxious about constantly reading about war in the news - why won't those Ukrainians just surrender and stop causing minor inconvenience in my day to day life" or "I can't admit it out loud, but I like russia's authoritarian, Christian, ethnostate and root for them to win and get stronger, so that they can more efficiently keep eroding democracy in my country, and keep strengthening right wing populists I want to take over".

In my opinion, the decision for supporting a war is less about who will win, and more about one side being justified to defend themselves, and the other side being unjustified in their invasion and destruction.
Well if that’s the way you think you apparently don’t know how the world works. Hold your politicians accountable.
did you support Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan. Libya? or is it only cool to invade when you and your boys do it
Both sides have their truth, u have to respect both sides
then you clearly have no understanding of the history of provocations which led to the outbreak of war today. Watch your TV and stay ind0ctrinated.
I would go for the Removal of Invaders policy.
They mean "peace" by cost of families located between Germany and Russia. I get your point, but Ukraine will not stop fighting.
I think we all need to remember that Ukraine didn't want this war. Their people are fleeing and since they can't be living in a war zone and some countries need to help out. Especially ones that have created world wars and ruined the world a couple of times
Nobody wanted the war, and here we are.
Why they were at war for 8 years then with their own citizens?
Imagine a burglar breaks into your house, you call a police and police tell you: we don't want to intervene, we are for peace! Good luck out there!
When the police investigated on why did the certain person breaks into your house it was found out that you provoke that certain person or force that certain person to do so and the police concludes that you're the one whos guilty of triggering the said happening.
if someone is standing with fire in his hand near your gas tank he might say I didn't do anything but if you don't keep his fire and him away it's your loss when your tank explode, Politic is not child play where you say I didn't hit you, you can't hit me, it must seen from much bigger and deeper point of understanding of this war
Let's imagine a different situation. Mexico and Cuba host Russian missiles. The US is silent, right?
So if Russia can bring its missiles to Mexico and Cuba with local governments' approval Russia will withdraw from all of the territories it has occupied? If Mexico and Cuba still say no to Russia's missiles Russia will withdraw nonetheless because Mexico and Cuba are sovereign countries. That sounds like a good deal for me. Let's sue for peace immediately.

Even with the support of West Europe and North America. This war is ravaging Ukraine and killing millions of it’s young people. Peace & diplomacy must be the top priority or there won’t be a future in Ukraine
Surprised they also had a chant USA go home..? Wth? Do they not realize if the USA all the sudden backed out of nato and became a completely isolated neutral country Russia and China would be all up in their cheeks lmao you’re welcome
People genuinely think Putin will listen to negotiations. People legitimately think he’s a civilised human being who will listen to reasoning. People think he will just sit back and relax after conquering Ukraine
Putin is the most civilized of all Western leaders. Have you seen Brandon raving at the State of the Union about Xi? Compare that to Putin's SOTU a few weeks ago and the difference is night and day, he's measured and coherent, never once raising his voice or attacking any individual by name. Putin tried to negotiate so many times before the Feb 2022 invasion but was double crossed by the West, the Minsk 1 and 2 agreements were designed to ensure lasting peace and instead the signatories to the accords Germany and France never forced Ukraine to implement it, instead Merkel and Hollande have publicly stated it was all a sham to buy time to train and arm Ukraine to NATO standards with the eventual goal of retaking Crimea and the Donbas. Even before the Feb invasion he tried one last attempt at negotiations with the West and was completely ignored, he met Brandon in 2021 and go him to agree to implement the Minsk agreements which he said he would but did nothing about. This great power hungry dictator you're talking about with his goals of conquering Europe and the whole world didn't even have the troops to take on Ukraine at the start of the Feb invasion, it was shock and awe with gloves on very much unlike NATO's indiscriminatory bombing of Yugoslavia, Iraq, and Libya. He did not attack civilian or political administration infrastructure and was going exclusively after military installations in Ukraine to get them to peace negotiations, which they did in late March. The negotiations taking place in Turkey was then scuttled by Boris the Clown on orders of his American masters.

Do you think Ukraine would start killing people in the Donbass if it knew that the people of Europe would not be able to see this and would not say it was bad? How do you think it happened that for eight years the European media were talking about anything but how the people of eastern Ukraine suffer because they do not agree with the Nazi and anti-Russian agenda of Ukraine?

And yet top US generals have publicly stated that a “win” for Ukraine is almost 100% not going to happen. It’s delusion like this that will prolong the war and lead to more death.

Appr. 14-16,000 people were killed in Donbass 2014-22 as a result of the civil war there instigated and fuelled by Russia - INCLUDING soldiers on both sides, Ukrainian and separatists.
In other words, a very low number of deaths for an 8 year war, considering the 100's of 1000's killed in the last year alone.
This tells us that we should all stop spreading Russia's lies about a genocide in Donbass.
It's more like your neighbour is knowingly inviting all the people that threatens you on a regular basis, wants to provoke you and cause you harm, into their home and you're not comfortable with living so close to people who will eventually cause you harm.
This illustration does not reflect the complexity of the situation. There are much more unhappy and unfriendly relationships between these neighbors for many years and finally boiled over to open conflict. I predict this will become another Israel-Palestine perpetual conflict for the foreseeable future.

I can appreciate and empathize with your psychological state. Russia has for a long time and continues now to "eye-ball" Poland as an excellent route to the Baltic Sea and puts them right within spitting range of Berlin.
Not knowing if or when Russia might attack must be nerve wracking especially when it is a realistic possibility. And considering the shenanigans currently going on in Belarus such as the stock-piling and installation of Nuclear Weapons and recent increased militarization of Belarussians, it's easier to understand your state of mind.

Very good! Thank you
The problem with pacifism is that while you may be right to want an end to violence, what becomes normal is not who is right but who is willing to fight for their beliefs. If you believe in equality in fairness then you have to be willing to defend that belief. The other problem is the illusion of separation. There is no such thing as "over there." Every problem you ignore has an extremely real chance of becoming your new reality if you ignore it or refuse to take action because doing so makes you uncomfortable.
Well said regarding pacifism.
It is easy to be a pacifist when no one is coming to kill you.
Pacifism is a luxury provided by a civil society that is protected by laws, institutions and, at the end of the day, usually a military.
If someone is trying to kill you and you refuse to fight back then you have truly died for pacifist beliefs.
How many pacifists will refuse violence if their family is attacked?
These people are not pacifists. They just dont want weapons that kill russians to be supplied to Ukraine.
Why dont anybody ask them if russia was justified in attacking Ukriane?
Their reply will probably mirror russian propaganda of US Biolabs,NATO,Ukrainian nazis.
These are just shameless rats in kremlins pocket.Treat them as such
it's not a pacifism. Those "pacifists" would call police if they will be rapist victims, for example. What we see - It's a result of russian propaganda.
If your belief is to sponsor a war so some companies could profit from it, then you need to breath air and take a break
people who support sending weapons to ukraine should go fight themselves.
weird that they call for peace and an end to the war by insisting support for the one who started the war.
they are just pro russian but saying it in the other way
The United States provoked and started this war. Russia reacted.

As a Polish citizen, let me tell you something. I am not surprised by the sudden indignation of the German public at the protracted war. For many years, Russia has been the cause of rapid economic growth for Germany due to cheap energy resources. Until the end of the offensive near Kiev, the Germans believed that Russia would defeat Ukraine, but reality verified :)
Now they have a huge problem because they are affected by the energy crisis, and a German citizen is losing money - this was not the case before.
Ukraine is not fighting for a 5-year peace. They fight to destroy Russia's imperialist tendencies for decades. If we agree to peace on Russian terms - Putin will come back in the next 5 years with a better army, better tactics and even more people will die than now. Instead of protesting for a poor peace - let's support Ukraine in the fight against the terrorist.

Or it can also mean just that this war will be dragging forever because in order to win you have to get your tanks to Moscow. And this will not happen, so nothing is stopping Russia from terrorizing Ukraine with war for years to come, making the crisis even worse.
Both Russia and Ukraine seem to be bogged down at the moment. Russia seems to be struggling to advance, and I don't think Ukraine can either as some reports are suggesting that NATO is short on ammo.

I understand the position of the politicians who want to stop supplying weapons only if Russia accepts a cease-fire, but in the end, that would be the best thing that could happen to Russia. The more time you give Russia, the stronger it will become. Putin has been able to get this far with a unprepared military that has been blacklisted from the global market. If you give him time to rebuild, train, and organize his army and is economy, he’ll be in a much stronger position to take Ukraine. The only way to stop a bully is to standup to him
He doesn't want all of Ukraine... That's a pipe dream. He wants to federalist it and ensure that eastern regions are not subject to the western part. It's all ethnic. Russian Ukrainians polish Ukrainans that's how he sees it.
Good grief you don't half repeat your TV. The best analysts do t say any of your boring word for word scripted shite.
You are completely right. Putting this "on hold" only resolve in bigger tragedy
It would also be the best for ukraine. But you are willing to destroy ukraine, because you hate russia
How you do it 😂😂😂. You talk like an ignorant.
Russia launched war in Ukraine, random Germans: USA，go home !
USA/CIA meddling in foreign countries? Just get a picture of how the US is meddling with other countries politicians...how many assasination attempts on Fidle Castro? More than 600 if I remember correctly. There is a valid point in telling the US to gtfo of our country.
Because the culprit behind this all is the US. But again, you probably dont want to see what is going on behind the curtains as always.
Biden's son has businesses in Ukraine that he does not wanna lose. Zelenskiy is American puppet.
Yeah, so wrong. Unbelievable!!
@@tellitlikeitis5856 If USA wasn't trying to turn Ukraine into a NATO country, Russia wouldn't have invaded. So yes- the U.S.A. should go home. That's how you actually resolve the conflict.
Some of these may not be proper.
Europe is now like an old lady hitting the wind with her umbrella, watched closely by her american bodyguard.
I can respect that these people want peace, but it is just stupidity to think Russia will just stop if they are asked nicely. It is even more unlikely for any negotiations to get anywhere if Russia is winning, which will be the case if Ukraine loses support. If they want an end to the war, they should be in favor of helping Ukraine as much as possible.
So many of you commenters forget about the bankers and war profiteers. Sad.
Russia can be stopped by asking nicely, or even without that, just by itself. But only after Putin loses his power... Or falls out of the window/has a heart attack. Nobody here wants this war except small pro-war minority.
It is just stupidity to think Russia attacked a neighbor for no reason. There is a reason. If you fail to see the root cause, it means you are poorly educated and don't see the whole picture.
Barbara Pearce..Thanks for that but your views don’t count ‘cos you are a woe_man… Ukraine started this war in 2014 and has been shelling the Russian minorities in the south ever since.. Zelensky , Britain US and EU divided the nation long before Putin decided to help the beleaguered Russian minority.. 😏
At the end Ukraine will lose 😢
Why can’t Russia just take a piece of Germany land, problem solved. Ukraine dont wanna give out its land but Germans seems Happy that Russia is the aggressor
No matter how hard you try, there is no right answer for everyone 😢
C mon guys send the cats in we ve waited over an year to see the showdown with the T 14
Fifth column is present in almost every EU country, RU has been working on that for years and years... But they are a minority! Loud one, but definitely a minority
@@xmxmxmxm yup, w=they always were the 2 sides of one coin and now they are closer than they ever were. I guess, those are people that were not that good in history classes in school... sad
@@miroz5824 How true. When I was in school 40 -50 years ago we were taught a lot about WW2, how nazism and communism were the two sides of the same coin. The pendulum swings and ends in the same result. Unfortunately nowadays, little seems to be being taught in history that has true impact on critical thinking. Long Live A FREE UKRAINE. 🇺🇦🤝🇺🇲
@@Nancy-nc4sw Thank you for your comment Nancy, my school years were much later, but being from former Soviet bloc and with history of being N*zi satellite, it has been obvious to me since childhood. Unfortunately, I was (and you were too) proven right... Very sad that we as a humanity are so slow to learn from our own mistakes.. and that seems to be happening only when hard pressed... I can only hope the young people of today will do better! All the best to you and your loved ones Nancy :)
The international support for Vietnam was for 30 years.
For the invader or the invaded?
Vietnam did not have a nearpeer military and access to nuclear weapons.
@@adampgrmVietnam fought the PLA to a stalemate. Not strong enough for you?
I hope peace not more fire
