President Obama announced Monday that the U.S. is lifting its 41-year-old arms embargo against Vietnam in an effort to shore up the communist country's defenses against an increasingly aggressive China.

Obama announced the full removal of the embargo at a news conference in Hanoi alongside Vietnamese President Tran Dai Quang, saying the move was intended as a step toward normalizing relations with the former enemy and to eliminate a "lingering vestige of the Cold War."

U.S. lawmakers and activists had urged Obama to press for greater human rights freedoms in the one-party state before lifting the embargo. Vietnam holds about 100 political prisoners and there have been more detentions this year.

Great legacy this Son of a B**ch is leaving, Iran, Cuba Vietnam. He is jerking off while cuddling up to Communist counties and taking it in the a$$ from Iran.

Also, a great way to provoke China who literally owns us.

This has got to be the dumbest or most Anti-American President we ever have had, maybe even both.

Obama says the action will

“ensure Vietnam will have access to the equipment it needs to defend itself” and shows the “commitment of the US to a fully normalized relationship with Vietnam"

Ho Chi Minh's Vietnam, needs defense AGAINST China?

Without the aid off China,
Ho Chi Minh wouldn't have had a Vietnam.

He's a dumb $hit. It's time Congress hold Obama accountable...

Just an excuse to get cozy with a country that shares his poilitical beliefs.

“We will take America without firing a shot ... we will bury you!

“We can’t expect the American people to jump from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have communism.

“We do not have to invade the United States, we will destroy you from within.”



The late Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev.

It's not like the American public didn't know who they were voting in. A lifetime socialist raised with Muslim beliefs who had a whore of a mother who made porn by the a Marxist Sadist sex offender who probably abused Obama both physically and sexually.

We have seen some of the images of the porn his mother shot with the sick son of a b****, and no normal human being who's not sick in the head would be into that kind of sick, degrading sex acts.

Then there's his trips into Pakistan and other Islamic countries while a student, his lack of being able to hold down a job that wasn't favored to him and his voting in the US Senate as Present more then any other Senator.

The American's fell for the propaganda his campaign machine put out hook like and sinker. They learned from the best Goebbels and Stalin.

And his campaign... And some people's reactions, & all the articles about him being treated as " A ROCK STAR"

And the Nobel Peace Prize, before election. When there were THREE great scientists who, actually.... DESERVED it.

I cancelled my BBC because of it.
Nauseating!!! And no one paid attention as to how much the UK & Canada had to gain by him being in the oval office either.


Rainbows and unicorns for everyone

Vietnam's ally which helped it to win against the United States back in the 1970's was NOT CHINA. China has been a threat to it since forever. Before the French took it from them, it was under control of the Chinese Empire.

It was the SOVIET UNION who helped them succeed. And China threatens Vietnamese independence today.

should i taking a ride with the obama to the USA?

wrong,the Falling out came after the Vietnam-War!
China was an active supporter of North-Vietnam and Vietcong,along with USSR,North-Korea,Cuba and others!

People's Republic of China

In 1950, the People's Republic of China extended diplomatic recognition to the Viet Minh's Democratic Republic of Vietnam and sent weapons, as well as military advisers led by Luo Guibo to assist the Viet Minh in its war with the French. The first draft of the 1954 Geneva Accords was negotiated by French prime minister Pierre Mendès France and Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai who, fearing U.S. intervention, urged the Viet Minh to accept a partition at the 17th parallel.[275]

China's support for North Vietnam included both financial aid and the deployment of hundreds of thousands of military personnel in support roles. In the summer of 1962, Mao Zedong agreed to supply Hanoi with 90,000 rifles and guns free of charge. Starting in 1965, China sent anti-aircraft units and engineering battalions to North Vietnam to repair the damage caused by American bombing, man anti-aircraft batteries, rebuild roads and railroads, transport supplies, and perform other engineering works. This freed North Vietnamese army units for combat in the South. China sent 320,000 troops and annual arms shipments worth $180 million.[276] The Chinese military claims to have caused 38% of American air losses in the war.[19] China claimed that its military and economic aid to North Vietnam and the Viet Cong totaled $20 billion (approx. $143 billion adjusted for inflation in 2015) during the Vietnam War.[19] Included in that aid were donations of 5 million tons of food to North Vietnam (equivalent to NV food production in a single year), accounting for 10-15% of the North Vietnamese food supply by the 1970s.WIKI
