China can do a lot about it. For starter, not only the economy of Vietnam especially border region heavily rely on China but also Vietnam's water for irrigation aka river depend on China side. When China is closed down because of Covid, Vietnam still request (read ask China) to continue trading.

Vietnamese people fought to protect their country, families and to have a better life. If there is a war, they will fight until their last soldiers. Based on that matter, it is quite clear that who will win. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
So did the Afghans, against both the Soviets and the Americans. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
I didn’t mean they were going to permanently hold onto any land. Just that Chinese barely got the front into Vietnamese territory before immediately being pushed back into a border skirmish. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

Yeah, I agree. 300b + all sanctions remain in place is the most reasonable, and a return to pre-2014 borders. DMZ at the border region to boot. A full-on Treaty of Versailles would just repeat history and encourage someone worse than Putin would take power. As much as I'd love to see Putin and his plutocracy disappear, it's a devil-you-know type situation for sure. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |

All Putin has to do is pull what’s left of his shitty army out of Ukraine entirely. Leave them and everyone else alone and crawl into one of his houses and kick the bucket. The world will be far better off | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |
Here's the thing we saw in the initial invasion: NATO tech from the end of the Cold War was more than a match for current Russian tech. Hell, the Cold War NATO tech we gave them we nerfed so it wouldn't be as powerful as it could be just to avoid Ukraine striking at targets in Russia. If the Ukrainian forces can eliminate enough of Russia's SAM capacity to put the new fighters into the battle space consistently it will be a major shift in Ukraine's favor in the war. I haven't seen any accurate reporting on what Russia's remaining SAM capacity is. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |

Or Ukraine could’ve not allowed America to set up facilities and line the borders of Russia/Ukraine with missiles aiming at Russia. This was a breach of the 1994 trilateral agreement between Russia, America, and Ukraine. Russia agreed to leave Ukraine alone only if America stayed out of Ukraine and didnt push eastward. America broke the agreement first not Russia | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |

https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/exclusive-war-began-putin-rejected-ukraine-peace-deal-recommended-by-his-aide-2022-09-14/
Slightly different to the one I remembered, this link is about a deal brought to Putin by one of his aides.
I can't find any link specifically about western countries pre-invasion but I'm sure early in the war I remember hearing about diplomatic efforts before the invasion that touched on neutrality. If I find a link on that too I'll update this comment.
In addition, more details about the deal you're referring to were released fairly recently, a different proposal during the invasion, and it involved Ukraine's army being limited to 85,000 soldiers, 340 tanks, and limiting missile range to 40km, which would have made the rest of the country defenceless. I believe first reported by the wall street journal but since quoted elsewhere. THIS proposal is where that claim comes from about Ukraine being supposedly forced to reject a "peace deal". | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |
NATO already quite clearly stated that if nuclear weapons are used, they would respond with conventional munitions. So that way Russia could have a choice. Try to Nuke NATO and kick off world war 3 in full nuclear Technicolor. Or accept an ass whooping with conventional weapons to boot them out of Ukraine. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |

There was no Russian withdrawl promise as part of that supposed deal - Russia refused to discuss borders and territory at that stage, saying it would be discussed later. Russia held more of Ukraine then than they do now, including a crucial foothold over the Dnipro which is Ukraine's major natural barrier.
And the deal also involved Ukraine disbanding most of its army, limiting itself to 85,000 soldiers, 340 tanks, and missile range limited to 40km. While Russia gave up nothing. These limits would have left Ukraine totally defenceless and caused a total front collapse when Russia violated it to invade again just like they violated every previous agreeement with Ukraine. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

Putitler is worried about the Trillions he owes for his Genocidal land grab war in Ukraine.
Luckily, there is 300,000 km of Territory that Russia stole from China that could help pay that debt.

The USSR suffered about 9 million military casualties alone against Nazi Germany.

"Wars begin when you will, but they do not end when you please." - Niccolo Machiavelli.
Ironically, the above quote isn't even true in this case - Russia can always just retreat out of Ukraine's pre-2014 territory, and the war will end. But it's all on Russia. Nobody else has any power to end the war. These silly "peace deals" for Ukraine to surrender are a farce. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
>Don’t think it’s anymore likely Ukraine achieves 1991 borders
It absolutely is. Russia **cannot** sustain the current pace of battle. If the West stops slumbering and wakes up and feeds Ukraine with enough materiel, they can. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Nobody has the power to end the war?
Ummm the US?? Lol | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
What has the US got to do with this conflict? All it does is send weapons and aid to Ukraine.
It's not like Biden can just invade Russia and force Putin to stop invading Ukraine at gunpoint. Ridiculous. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
I think one of the biggest impacts is gonna be an increase in the use of simple glide bombs by the Ukranians, the Russians have been devastating with them and there’s no real counter when they’re fired from behind the line.
Just having more aircraft to use simple munitions is game changing. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
What does it have to do with the war?
Ukraine would have already been Russias new province if it wasn’t for the US
They would have falling a long ass time ago if the US wasn’t given them money, weapons, training and intel | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Great Britain, Germany and the US have not had as formidable an enemy as Ukraine has in Russia. Of course they are going to lose more tanks to them. Ukraine has been receiving training for the last year with the F-16's and when they arrive Russia will have to pull their forces back further away from the border. The F-16's will be maintained in Poland so don't you worry about that. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
We shall see, but the corrupt American government loves forever wars they can keep making money off of. You think Biden signed a 10 year plan because it warms his heart or fills his pockets? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Im not talking about Ukraine, their wants are completely understandable and obvious. But if you think the US is in it for the betterment of humanity you have been living under a rock since Vietnam | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

Kind of. The Army and Navy do this regularly, I participated in one of these JLOTS exercises at Fort Story at Virginia Beach. I suppose a big difference is they’re hampered by not being allowed to step foot into Gaza. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |
That's literally their job, though... Army Corps of Engineers and their international equivalents are responsible for building and deconstructing military bases, temporary bridges and other temporary constructions.
Practicing building a temporary dock is expensive on its own, practicing it across the ocean even moreso. They wouldn't get this type of experience training safely on or near their base. And the construction and maintenance was under hostile fire, so any faults in their training will come to the surface. It's basically a stress test. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |

Okay, Engineer Redditor, give us the schematics for an indestructible pier that will not be damaged by unpredictable weather conditions. We'll wait. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |
How is this a semantics argument? The dock was designed to withstand shit like that and be able to be put back together.
Did that happen or not? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |
I don't see how what you said negates what I said. Both statements can be true at once - that Hamas is prolonging the war, and that ending it is the only real solution to getting aid to Gaza. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |
But it's not exclusively an exercise, it's also an actual humanitarian mission. Try to keep up.
Also, the IDF is pulling shore security and C-RAMs are installed on the pier. So far there haven't been any incidents that we haven't been able to handle with the current ROE so something must be working right. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |
They’re not the “real reasons.” They’re just other reasons which go hand in hand with their (justified) fear that Israel won’t let them return. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |
Withstand what? It's a 320 million dollar pier built by what used to be the most advanced nation on earth. It never lasted a month before they had to repair it and now they are abandoning it altogether.
Let alone only a fraction of the aid got through and they lost track of it.
Nobody thinks that's a win, not even the Biden administration. You are the only person who thinks it was a success. Stop eating paint chips kid. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |
So it can be spun into an invasion or have people yap about endangering troops? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |
They aren't abandoning it lol, nice job reading the title!
Weather or not the bridge did its purpose doesn't matter, you are arguing about the dock not being able to withstand weather and be put back together afterwards. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |
It may as well have been considering how ineffective it was! Almost as if it was pure political posturing that needlessly increased risk without any real value! Because there's a real port they could be using. The argument that no one died falls on deaf ears considering what happened at tower 22, an outpost doing a real mission that could not have been accomplished in any other way.
And if something went even more wrong, they would have been in real danger and put the recovery assets at risk. The threat of being shot at and not being able to shoot back has no training or experience value. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-14-06 |
