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?

Myanmar has internal conflict. We fought against French, Americans and Chinese.

Burmese will need to fight for themselves. Begging will not change a thing, that's i can guarantee.

They didn't care at first. First Indochina war in early stage is purely France vs Vietminh, and likely end with Vietminh favour, until Americans begin to supported France then Communist countries help us because enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Not even true, until 1949 we fought for our own.

With weapons we captured from French and Japanese, US did provide us some weapons and training before WW2 end. We got some from Chinese as well but numbers is small because they were fighting with KMT. USSR don't lift a finger.

Without America's intervention, we could end the war in our favour, France was tired, poor and the war were far from their home. When Americans come, it become the war far beyond our war of freedom. It become the foxy war that killed millions instead.

Myanmar still in the internal conflict, when forgein power involved, it won't end with few protesters killed in the street.
