This casts a slightly different light on the Ol' Vietnam War, doesn't it?
In 1975, the last US agents leave the roof of the embassy in Ho Chi Minh City. Some 10 or so years later, Gorby and Ronnie become chummy. By the 14 year mark, in 1989, the Cold War ends. (So much for the domino theory!) Some 30 years later, Richard Nixon's ideological scions are finalising an agreement with Ho Chi Minh's political heirs which fully integrates Vietnam into the networks of global capitalism. (n.b. It is already fairly well integrated. Plenty of stuff In Stores Now!!! is Made in Vietnam.)
