A friend asked why they haven't seen much international news about the COVID outbreak in Vietnam. Honestly I don't know exactly why, but here's what I know.
Please spread the word. The world needs to know this.

My family has lost 3 members. My aunt died 3 days ago, her husband and another aunt's husband 2-3 weeks ago.
My dad and my uncle are hospitalized. My uncle is in bad shape, thanks God my dad has started recovering.
So far I've lost 8 people whom I'd known my whole life.

But this is not about me or my family.
I have friends and I can afford things. If I still can't protect my family, how the hell can less fortunate people deal with this horrendous crisis?
The answer is they can't and are dying en mass.

Die CH-46 Sea Knight des State Dept, das Menschen zum Flughafen #Kabul evakuierte, ist die ehemalige USMC 154038. Durch eine Laune des Schicksals war genau diese CH-46 schon bei den Evakuierungen in #Saigon dabei.
Leider war das auch der letzte Flug der besagten Sea Knight, die ihren ersten Einsatz 1967 begann. Sie wird Flugunfähig auf dem Flugplatz Kabul zurückgelassen.
Hier noch der Artikel dazu.

BREAKING: @StateDept @SecBlinken defends US withdrawal from #Afghanistan, rejects comparisons to #Saigon
"What we've done, what the president has done is make sure that we were able to adjust to anything happening on the ground" Blinken tells @CNNSotu

Additional 5,000 US troops - "We had those forces at the ready, fully prepared to go in the event that this moved in a direction where we needed forces in place to ensure that our personnel was safe and secure..." per @SecBlinken on @CNNSotu
"..., to ensure also that we could do everything possible to bring out of #Afghanistan those Afghans most at risk" per @SecBlinken on @CNNSotu
Voilà. Les #Talibans entrent dans #Kaboul. On est le 15 août. Il y a à peine 1 mois le président #Biden parlait d'1 issue non inévitable en #Afghanistan.

#Saigon 1975, #Kabul 2021? - Es ist dieses ikonenhafte Foto, das das Ende des #Vietnam-Krieges und den Abzug der US-Truppen symbolisiert. Angesichts der dramatischen Situation in #Afghanistan wird das Bild derzeit immer wieder verbreitet. Was aber zeigt es? Ein Thread ⬇️
Das Foto wurde am Nachmittag des 29. April 1975 gemacht, einen Tag bevor die nordvietnamesische Armee Saigon einnahm. Der Fotograf war der Niederländer Hubert van Es, geboren 1941 in Hilversum, der damals für die United Press International (UPI) in #Vietnam gearbeitet hat.
Oft wird fälschlicherweise behauptet, die Aufnahme würde die US-Botschaft in Saigon zeigen. Tatsächlich aber fotografierte Van Es an jenem Tag ein Gebäude in der 22 Gia Long Street , das „Pittman Apartments“, ein damaliger Stützpunkt der #CIA: google.com/maps/place/22+…
Rasante Entwicklungen in #Afghanistan .
Im Überblick:
- #Taliban kontrollieren bereits 18 der 34 Provinzzentren.
- #Kandahar ist gefallen.
- afghan.Armee flüchtet nach #Kabul .
- Schlacht um Kabul wird bald beginnen.
- USA schicken "Evakuierungshilfe".

Lawinenartig nehmen die #Taliban jetzt auch die Provinzhauptstädte in #Afghanistan ein.
Zahlreiche Ortschaften werden kampflos überlassen.
Auch #Kandahar - die zweit- bzw. (je nach Quelle) drittgrößte Stadt des Landes ist gefallen.
Die afgh.Armee ist komplett demoralisiert

NEW: "Leading elements" of the 3 US battalions headed to #Kabul from the @CENTCOM area "already there" per @PentagonPresSec

Catastrophic 72hrs for #Afghanistan, as the #Taliban capture 5 provincial capitals -- taking military bases, airports, emptying prisons etc.
The U.S. (then NATO) withdrawal is clearly an utter disaster, but that ship has sailed -- muted response from #Washington says everything.

Aujourd’hui le 30 avril est une date historique au #Vietnam et à #Saigon ou je vis : c’est la fin de la guerre du Vietnam et la chute officielle de la ville aux mains des communistes, le 30 avril 1975
#ChuteDeSaigon #SaigonFall
#ChuteDeSaigon #SaigonFall
Cela résulte d’une guerre qui a environ durée presque 20ans de 1964 à 1975
Le #30Avril1975 est la chute officielle/reddition de la ville de Saigon, capitale de la défunte république du Vietnam (Sud Vietnam) aux Nords Vietnamiens communistes et prendra le nom de Ho Chi Minh Ville
