You Laotian will stay above the water and smart not to get involves with the American and get drawn into this coming conflict. Big nations like China and USA don't fight direct war; but, they use little proxy nation who are too stupid to get drawn into the fight and get destroyed in the end.
I joke you not, all you Cambodian and Laotian should take a learning from Pol Pot and the sorry mess of the killing field; to see how much damage being drawn as a proxy nation would get you people.
If these stupid Vietnamese wanting to side with the American against China; so, let these Vietnamese being destroy in the process.... and my Laotian brother stay safe and profitable.
