They both have a bit in common. They’re both communist Asian states that the US went to war with during the Cold War and did not win. But the messaging regarding the two states is a lot different. DPRK is treated like the worst dictatorship ever, that kills you and your family for even thinking that the Kims are less than gods, whilst also starving. But Vietnam, they say… nothing.
Why isn’t Vietnam demonized like DPRK?
I’ve seen boomers still get enraged over “Hanoi Jane”.
Lol that pic used to be the background on my phone. I’m pretty Fonda Hanoi Jane.
Don’t be, IIRC she walked that back, sort of blamed the Vietnamese for misleading her, and abandoned Vanessa Redgrave (her co-star in Julia) when she expressed an actually radical position of anti-zionism.
Oh no I don’t love Jane Fonda. Just that pic.
