When most Americans think of #WWII, the story starts on December 7, 1941, with the bombing of Pearl Harbor. But the United States had been edging toward war with Germany for several months before Japanese Zeros screamed over the Hawaiian Islands, as President Franklin D Roosevelt made clear with his “shoot-on-sight” Fireside Chat to the nation on September 11, 1941.

We had about 2 months of no violence after the big US pull-out official date. Then, the new & not cohesive Communist regime took over. With a ton of corrupt & inhumane officers put into leadership for awhile. Those new Saigon officials opted to go very heavy handed, starting in May of 1978. They violently targeted Chinese Viet citizens, including my family, at that time. My Grandpa had been working on rebuilding the incense factory in Cholon at the time. He was held up, at gunpoint by Viet Communist cops & beaten up - even after giving them all the cash he had (June 1978). The same kinda thugs targeted my Dad, a leading university human rights activist at the time - beating him up & imprisoning him. When Grandpa & Dad were released, Grandpa started to plot our escape from Vietnam. Grandpa said, if we stay now - They'll kill all of us because we are Teochew & we won't stop being Teochew. We are leaving for freedom from endless wars!

At end of day, it's like this. We may hate our fucking governments. We will hate you more, if you try to interfere with our hatred of our domestic shitty governments. It is not up to any foreign forces to tell any sovereign nations what to do. You cannot even deal with your domestic social issues & your inhumanity towards your own citizens. Fuck right off, trying to tell sovereign nations how to run anything.

After the official GTFO US invaders date, there was ongoing disharmony because US puppet militants were still running around Saigon & shooting people, indiscriminately. They were hunted down & imprisoned. People hunted down a lot of leftover US invaders too. It was lawless for awhile. Some people who captured US invaders had built their own domestic prisons of torture for any leftover US personnel they found. They were given same tortures that they enacted upon our citizens. In February of 1978, there was a public event with leftover US invaders brought out & the government gave bamboo whips to every Vietnamese citizen, in Saigon, to hit the enemy. The US invaders left behind by their government were beaten by Vietnamese citizens from 8am-8pm. For a full week. 8 US marines died during those beatings. Angry Vietnamese people wouldn't allow their bodies to be sent home & they ripped them off trucks & burned the bodies on the streets of Saigon.

Making tea & taking a few deep breaths, before continuing our family's saga of surviving invasion war on Vietnam by US terrorist invaders & how we eventually had to flee our beloved home, in 1978.
We survived that invasion. We then faced more persecution from new Communist government regime because our patriarch family has Chinese roots. My patriarch grandparents had fled China due to domestic classist persecution & we have family members in Chinese prisons as longtime political prisoners.
My family have never been nationalists. They've been humanity over borders people. On both matriarch & patriarch sides. My Mom's family is mixed Indigenous Vietnamese & Teochew because her ancestry comes from ancient times when the official Chinese/Vietnam borders didn't exist & nor did the other borders surrounding Vietnam now.

My Mom was running with Dad, my Uncles, my Aunts(except for big Auntie, who was still fighting near Da Nang), my Grandpa (who brought his pitchfork) & all of our neighbours who had been bombed in Cholon. They ran down main strip & caught up with 4th US invaders truck. Invaders were yanked out & their truck was destroyed by Dad & Uncles who threw Molotovs at it. The invaders were beaten up & dragged to the airport. So many people were screaming in Vietnamese, Chinese & English. Lots of: Yankees, go home! - chants. Molotovs were flying everywhere & US marines were crying, begging for mercy while angry citizens told them to - Shut up! You killed our family! Shut up!
People kept screaming at them. The rage from citizens was through the roof. That's what happens when you just follow orders to go commit war crimes in sovereign nations, where you do not fucking belong whatsoever.

OK. I'm ready to continue this thread a bit more, today. Starting with day the US invaders fled, although some were still left behind for a few years after 1975 official pull-out.

The smell of firepowder, mixed with napalm, filled Saigon city air, all that day, April 30th, 1975. 5 days prior, my parents & most of our patriarch family, had received news that US is pulling out & Vietnam will be reunited with North & South. We were in a local displaced refugees camp, within the city, at the time. All the adults started making Molotovs to prepare to chase US & domestic sellouts out of Saigon. Women made rock-swing weapons from scarves & rocks, to hit US terrorists on their way out. There was a lot of rage because many of us witnessed our loved ones murdered by US invaders & their puppet domestic terrorists. People were out for blood vengeance.

Mom made me a baby metal army helmet & baby body plates from scrap metal. Our whole patriarch family hit the streets. Me, on my Mom's back. Thousands of Vietnamese people came out on the streets, waiting to give US invaders a lively exit out of our lands. The first US invader truck was ambushed by angry citizens in sandals & my parents said that you couldn't see the truck after 5 minutes because so many people had surrounded it. The US terrorists in that truck were beaten to death & left on road. The citizens ran down the street, looking for more US invaders.

My Mom lost 9 family members in one week after a massive #AgentOrange spray attack over our matriarch village.

I will challenge every single person in US who still thinks their soldiers in Vietnam were ever heroes. They are ALL terrorist invaders to people like me/my family. They never should have been in Vietnam at all!

How many of you US military family folks have ever buried 9 family members killed by foreign invaders in a single week?

Of all the illegal, never tested before on humans weaponry used by the US, the deadliest was #AgentOrange. It's a #toxic chemical herbicide/defoliant. #USTerrorists called their AOcampaign 1962-1971, #OperationRanchHand. Their purpose was to clear Vietnam’s forest cover & farms which hid/fed #VietCong resistance forces.

80 million litres were sprayed over 26,000 villages across 3.06 million hectares. Operation Ranch Hand not only defoliated vegetation & crops, but pushed numerous animal species to extinction & caused skin rashes, cancer & birth-defects down multiple generations(we're in our 4th generation of victims) in Vietnamese/Laotian/Cambodian peoples - all were exposed to the toxic sprays.

The US told their own military, who were foolish enough to trust their criminal government, that AO was safe to handle. Many US military personnel still live with lifelong effects from handling/being in close contact with AO. Unlike us, the civilian invasion survivors - US military people actually got help. We were ignored, repeatedly by the evil US government. The US government kept telling us there's no proof that their use of Agent Orange had serious bad human effects. Yet, they admitted it had effect on their military personnel. We aren't humans to US government then, nor now. They're still denying AO effects on Vietnamese folks & never paid reparations for it!

This is only part of what #TerroristUSA did to our peoples!

Evil USA used us as a fucking war munitions lab. The exact same way Zionazis used Gaza as a testing lab.

WAKE THE FUCK UP. USA NEVER STOPPED TERRORISM WAR CRIMES!

US terrorists got to go home with PTSD. We suffered from PTSD too. While suffering from PTSD, while still being bombed - our family was trying to find more bodies/blown up pieces of our peoples, who were massacred by #USTerrorists. Many of us had no home left - because your US invaders blew them up. We still have our peoples dying & suffering from your terrorist government’s evil on our peoples. To this fucking day.

That is the reality.
Refuse to be deployed for #TerroristUSA.
Do not fucking enlist in 2026 - when you should fucking know better!

@coolcalmcollected I really appreciate anyone/everyone who is interested in knowing/learning the truth from survivors of US terrorism invasions across the Global South. Our experiences are really raw, atrocious & vastly different than what almost all Global North folks are taught/told about.

I've had bigots who support genocide on Palestine & support US warmongers literally tell me that US should have bombed us more & should kill people like my parents so they couldn't give birth to someone like me. They call me a terrorist for speaking truths about our lived experiences under foreign invasion war. They say that's why US/Israel needs to kill the kids because if they don't - we get to grow up. They want to kill kids so they can't grow up like me & tell the truth to the whole world.

That is the kind of sickass fucking mindsets that I encounter for speaking out, trying to educate & trying to stop more warmongering madness. I am not going to shut up because of bullying bigots who can't handle the truth. I'm growing even tougher skin.

So, excuse me if I don't feel much sympathy for folks in Western places who invade Global South to terrorize POC in our homelands & deployed for shorter than a decade, with visits home/back with family & able to receive care packages from home. Those of us who were under siege by foreign Western invaders never got to see/talk to some our family members for over a decade. Many of us had to bury many family & friends murdered by your terrorist invaders. Some of us weren't even able to bury all of our loved ones because their bodies were blown to smithereens by your government’s terrorist invaders.

Refuse to fight dirty illegal wars on foreign sovereign lands. You have a choice to not serve your terrorist governments. People you terrorize, don't forget.

The massive tunnels system saved many Vietnamese lives. That's why I get upset at white people who called us tunnel rats & are calling #Palestinians tunnel rats too.

More tunnels for another purpose were made in DMZ - site for most violent of exchanges between the north/south. #USTerrorists were releasing thousands of tons of bombs on Vinh Moc village which they believed was a supplier of arms/food to a resistance base on Con Co island .

Villagers dug - with their hands - a 2 km long tunnel, 30 m underground, for safety/survival. Vinh Moc Tunnels included family rooms, community halls, kitchens, wells, health clinics & a kindergarten. 60 families called it home from 1967-1972; 17 children were born inside it. Not a single person from Vinh Moc village died in the war.

Built 30 metres below ground-level, #VinhMocTunnels had 13 openings of which seven opened out into the East Sea.

#USInvaders & allies recorded the war using war photographers, North Vietnam & Viet Cong did it through #art.

In #TetOffensive 3 phases in 1968, North Vietnam army & Viet Cong attacked military & civilian sites across South Vietnam.

#USTerrorists retaliated with #MyLaiMassacre on 16 March 1968 - 504 civilians, mainly women & children, were gang-raped & mutilated. Those who helped the Vietnamese were seen as traitors. Only one of the US terrorists - William Calley, was tried. He was only sentenced to house arrest for 3.5 years for the atrocious war crimes. None of the other US terrorists were ever punished for participating in same atrocities on our peoples.

My big Auntie lived/worked in the tunnels for years, after quitting her nursing job & leaving our family for a decade. She worked mainly in the resistance army comms & also on their medical team. She was part of the organizational team that planned the #TetOffensive

North Vietnam & Viet Cong’s Tet Offensive in 1968 took South Vietnamese & #USATerrorists by surprise. Launched on Vietnam’s lunar new year holiday, it was one of the biggest military campaigns in the war.

Cu Chi Tunnels near Saigon was integral. The 121-kilometre-long network of subterranean tunnels, a larger network that cut across most of Vietnam, were Viet Cong’s lifeline.

Hidden under camouflaged booby traps, the tunnels provided our resistance fighters with supply/comms routes, living quarters & storage for food/weapons. Air and water were scarce, insects, scorpions, and rodents aplenty, it didn't deter them.
