COVID-19: Vietnam Winning New War Against Invisible Enemy

{The Australian Strategic Policy Institute noted “Vietnam’s experience demonstrates how, by focusing on early risk assessment, effective communication and government-citizen cooperation, an under-resourced country with a precarious healthcare system can manage the pandemic. In facing an indefinite unknown, decisive leadership, accurate information and community solidarity empower people to protect themselves—and each other.”}

Vietnam shames the rest of the world with a proper response! Even with a lacking healthcare system! This is how you properly use the same technology that is an oppressive tactic by our governments, intelligence agencies, and corporations. The only westernized country doing well is Germany.

Compare hundreds of millions of Asians’ serene response to the coronavirus crisis with the West’s fear, panic and hysteria, writes Pepe Escobar.

{Seoul went for fast mobilization of scientific expertise; immediate massive testing; extensive contact tracing; and social distancing, as well. But, crucially, most of it voluntary, not imposed by the central power. Because these moves were organically integrated, South Korea did not need to restrict movement drastically or to close down airports.

This provides insight to the false perception management we face within the westernized delusional reality forced on us about socialist governments. While I often speak negatively towards the USSR for its military and corporate structured sense of socialism during that period, you might find it interesting that most of what we were taught about how poverty stricken it was, was essentially a lie. Much like we get about Cuba and Venezuela. I will still argue the US today is more like what the USSR was then. Russia is moving forward while we're moving backwards.

I work with a guy who was in the army and then worked for a private contractor in the middle east, all over the middle east. He is essentially our head of maintenance of equipment repair and mechanic. We have a lot of political discussions, we actually enjoy our times together. He enjoys my outlook and how I inform him of dissenting views which we bounce off the narratives of MSM. I'm often not telling him much he hasn't come to understand about the middle east, which is why I think he likes my opinions and views on other areas and issues. But he has been a gold mine of information for me as far as the middle east goes too. One day he was telling me about dating a lady from Russia and got to know her family well, sharing dinner a number of times and such. If I remember right he was in Turkey at this time. He asked them about those times and was given quite a different image of how Russia really was. Essentially what he told me in short was much like I attempt to spread here. Most of everything we were told was blatant misinformation. They actually were quite humored with his inquiry according to his story and about our misconception. I even asked if they were of upper middle class or wealthy. He assured me they were not while explaining how much easier it is to travel over there.

{But that also has to do with culture, because East Asia is about collectivism, and individualism is not on the forefront.}

We have been broken down within tribal politics so hard that we have become totally self serving. Tribalism has essentially effected us in every aspect of society now. Even within the many senses of "brotherhood" that goes into many types of group pairing, it really doesn't exist if you truly put meaningful thought into them.
