The fact these guys are South Vietnamese both warms me & breaks my heart.

Saigon 1975 was scarring, they know what's to come if Ukraine falls to the east.

The 3 red stripes flag isnt the flag of Vietnam, but the flag of the old Republic of Vietnam

[Yaore]

If you see very carefully in the back u can see me and my little brother running While out father and the owner of the sea food cove restaurant ( my dads best friend) are talking

[ArnoldTeras]

Do most Vietnamese people in VIetnam support Ukraine or Russia??

[moitranac]

Did they rally for you when your country torn apart by may thang ngoai bang? Every single Vietnamese family had at least one family member died during the VN war! Anyone spoke up or rallied for your people. You followed foreign ideologies and fought against your own people for years causing millions of deaths and suffering. Look at your neighbor country Thailand. Somehow, they have avoided many wars that are always instigated by foreign forces; maintain peace and prosperity for their country in modern times.

just read a horrible news from google about 1968 Vietnam war, there were 504 unarmed women and kids murdered by the US army soldiers. I was so so angry that why !!!!???

[bruceli]

Vietnam has perfect record defeating Superpowers in guerrilla warfare, I hope they pass on their knowledge to the Ukrainian fighters.

[ngoclinhpham]

The 3 red stripes flag isnt the flag of Vietnam. they are Vietnamese counter-revolutionaries

[jaehojeong]

Support Free Ukraine (against Russia) and Free (Originally South) Vietnam (against communists and PRC) from South Korea.
Please Vote for Donald Trump 2024, everyone.

Vietnamese people support Russia, but we still wish the innocent people to minimize the damage as much as possible in this military operation. Vietnamese also opened a military operation on Cambodia and liberated the people from the genocidal government of Polpot despite objections from the US and allies. Of course, all actions of Russia and Vietnam are condemned and opposed by the US and allies, otherwise their actions are known as "peacekeeping missions". With those "Vietnamese", please make space for the Ukrainian government to fly helicopters to there. 🇻🇳 <3 🇷🇺 <3 🇺🇦

That flag is dead. It can't represent Vietnam by any means.

[hachau]

It was not called "VietNam". That government was dead. The flag of Việt Nam 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳

Câu xin đức Chúa giêsu ban phước lành cho người dân Ukraina và đất nước Ukraina 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦❤❤❤ an lành trở lại bình an không còn chiến tranh Amen Amen Amen ❤

Alright this is gonna make me get cancelled but well, who would say this ?
Vietnam DOES NOT support Russia, but we don't support Ukraine neither. Basically this conflict has so many things that are either poorly investigated or made up by the US and its allies, making the UN create very rushy decision like removing Russia out of the World Human Right Organization (an organization under the UN). We vote against that simply because everything is still too suspicious, evidences provided by Ukraine and NATO are too unclear so until we have a clear insight of this conflict, we won't support Ukraine

[Glockperfection]

Yes I fully support our Ukrainian brothers and sisters, but I DO NOT like the fallen Vietnamese flag that died back in 1975 . This flag no longer represents our country Viet Nam . Hang the true Vietnamese flag 🇻🇳.

[olentangyriver]

Breaking news, south Vietnam rov is dead..

[replayit.official]

That is not the real flag of Vietnam. The flag in the video is the flag of the US when it invaded in Vietnam

[captainross]

My dad still remembers the horrors. American soldiers indiscriminately raped and mutilated, murdered women and children in Vietnam. We cannot let history repeat itself but it seems Russia is.

[allent.g]

Oh, what kind of Vietnamese are they? Cuz that's the flag of a country that has ceased to exist and Vietnam stays neutral in this conflict.

[ViMinh-kxpd]

I don't want to died. For a fake my yellow friends.
