What impact does Vietnam have on events today?

Answer 1

All volunteer "militaries" almost through-out the world are the direct physical (results that you can see) results that affect every male in the world today (minus some communist nations, etc.). Secondly, every single hi-tech jet warplane today (21st century) has a gun on it, to supplement it's hi-tech smart weapons...a direct result of jet aerial combat (dog-fighting) over the skies of North Vietnam.

Answer 2

Vietnam's impact on events today is primarily shaped by its economic growth and its geopolitical position in Southeast Asia. Economically, Vietnam has emerged as a key player in global supply chains, attracting significant foreign investment. Geopolitically, Vietnam's relations with its neighbors, particularly China, and its growing alliances with countries like the United States, Japan, and India, contribute to regional dynamics and maritime disputes in the South China Sea. Additionally, Vietnam's history as a former war-torn country continues to shape its domestic policies and approach to international relations.
