Stay Away

Stay away.
Here is a leader who was seeking independence and, in fighting those who offered freedom, received 31 years of Soviet and Chinese oversight and manipulation. The struggle has now been replaced with a get rich quick attitude. Even the high rise that sits where the former Hoa Lo (Hanoi Hilton) prison is owned by a foreigner, and a capitalist at that, from Singapore.
Uncle Ho sought independence. Got to be a Soviet puppet.
Uncle Ho sought a communist utopia. Got foreign ownership.
Uncle Ho sought a workers paradise. Got T-shirt hawkers.
All investment, all technology, all education, everything which has advanced Vietnam from 1975, everything, is from foreign sources.
All Uncle Ho acheived was alignment with malignant nations that offered no lasting benefit whatsoever while causing his country and people to be left behind in the world and to which they may never catch up. Oh, and about 1.5 million souls killed.
Stay away from Ho, and those who seek to perpetuate the misery he caused his innocent nation and people.
