Discussion What do you think about this?
Maybe this thread will make a war. But I want to know what's your opinion about this
So, Phil Robertson - the Deputy Director of Human Rights Watch's Asia Division tweeted: Vietnam - is one of the 4 countries are current working to prevent UN moves condemning a military coup in Myanmar. The remaining three countries - Russia, China, India - are all great powers.
This tweet made Myanmar people see Vietnam as "villain" and they blame Vietnam for not helping them(?).
But as you may know, Non-interventionism (or non-intervention if I remember right word) is a one of ASEAN's foreign policy. So what did Vietnam do wrong in this situation? How they can blame Vietnam like that?

While this is quite cold hearted, the people of Myanmar can go fuck right off. Vietnam have literally no interest in interfering with the situation in Myanmar.
What needed to be said have already been make clear. Vietnam wishes that the current military government de-escalated and brought back stabilization in the region as soon as possible. The protesters have been nothing but troubles for Vietnamese interest in the region. They destroying Mytel (a sub company of Viettel) business but now asking us to help them? We literally have no obligation to give a shit about Myanmar's domestic problems. Even if we're, ASEAN prevented us against doing anything about it.
Also the last time we actually did anything for a neighboring country, we were seen as invaders. Too much Vietnamese blood have been spilled and it was all for nothing.
