HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam — U.S. officials are not attending the main public event commemorating the end of the Vietnam war in Ho Chi Minh City this week, according to a guest list released by the organizers and seen by NPR.
I wonder why the u.s isn’t joining
Top of the list, announced at the final rehearsal for the April 30 military parade, are Vietnam’s biggest friends — Laos, Cambodia, Cuba and China.
What a fun list of friends. Bet there’s gonna be some fuckjng great food there
On April 30, 1975, North Vietnamese troops stormed the Independence Palace in central Saigon — now known as Ho Chi Minh City — ending the almost 20-year war that caused great losses to both North and South Vietnam, as well as the South’s ally the United States.
What a fun twisting of history. Anyways get fucked America, it’s time to party!
Bet France isn’t invited either lol
The US was invited, but they’re being sore losers about it this year and refusing to join in the celebrations
