Evil consequences of American Belligerent Aggression in Vietnam


The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) published an article on 'tree spiking'. 

Tree spiking involves nails, bolts or other metal spikes or objects being hammered or drilled into trees to disrupt logging and milling.

Two sawmills in Tasmania's south have reported finding bolts in logs delivered to them by Sustainable Timber Tasmania from the Wentworth Hills area this week, and Tasmania Police and Workplace Standards are now both investigating.

Wayne Booth from Karanja Timbers in the Derwent Valley said he received the logs on Tuesday and discovered the bolts.

"I put one of the logs through the mill, and on the first cut, I hit a spike," Mr Booth said. "When we investigated further, it was a deliberately-placed spike. The hole had been drilled in the log, the spike had been put in the log, and then it had been siliconed over."


Production stopped at the sawmill, and staff found a further five bolts in logs using metal detectors.

"The saw can't cut steel, so the saw either shatters, teeth fly off the saw, or the bolt spike itself will get thrown out.

"That travels at about 5000 feet a minute, and if someone's standing in front of that it becomes a bullet."


Mr Booth wants those responsible held to account.

"This is a whole new low, the Government has to come out now, they have to stop it and the judiciary has to do something, no more smack on the wrists," Mr Booth said.

For more of above, see my post Evil Acts in Australia and Vietnam over at my other blog BolehTalk.

'Spiking trees' while deliberate in Tasmania to foil timber cutting is a danger akin to that faced by Vietnamese loggers who came unexpectedly on US bomb shrapnel embedded in trees, which happened during the Vietnam War when USAF bombers dropped their deadly arsenals. Shrapnel pierced into many trees which continued growing to, putting it fatefully, await Vietnamese loggers after the war, with deadly consequences.

Another ill effect of the USAF massive bombing were increased diseases to Vietnamese caused by mosquitoes flourishing in the water filled bomb craters caused by American bombing.

A third deadly sin of the American war machine in Vietnam has been the criminal use of the notorious Agent Orange herbicide.

Agent Orange's Long Legacy, for Vietnam and Veterans - The New ...

Wikipedia informs us:

Agent Orange is a herbicide and defoliant chemical, one of the "tactical use" Rainbow Herbicides. It is widely known for its use by the U.S. military as part of its chemical warfare program, Operation Ranch Hand, during the Vietnam War from 1961 to 1971.

It is a mixture of equal parts of two herbicides2,4,5-T and 2,4-D. In addition to its damaging environmental effects, traces of dioxin (mainly TCDD, the most toxic of its type) found in the mixture have caused major health problems for many individuals who were exposed.

Up to four million people in Vietnam were exposed to the defoliant. The government of Vietnam says as many as 3 million people have suffered illnesses because of Agent Orange. The Red Cross of Vietnam estimates that up to 1 million people are disabled or have health problems as a result of Agent Orange contamination. The United States government has challenged these figures as being unreliable.

The U.S. government has documented higher cases of leukemiaHodgkin's lymphoma, and various kinds of cancer in exposed veterans. An epidemiological study done by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that there was an impact of birth defects of the children of veterans as a result of Agent Orange, although there was no overall rise in the total number of births with defects of Vietnam Veterans. Agent Orange also caused enormous environmental damage in Vietnam. Over 3,100,000 hectares (31,000 km2 or 11,969 mi2) of forest were defoliated. Defoliants eroded tree cover and seedling forest stock, making reforestation difficult in numerous areas. Animal species diversity sharply reduced in contrast with unsprayed areas.

US pledges $50 mln for Vietnamese Agent Orange victims - Vietnam ...

The use of Agent Orange in Vietnam resulted in numerous legal actions. The United Nations ratified United Nations General Assembly Resolution 31/72 and the Environmental Modification Convention. Lawsuits filed on behalf of both U.S. and Vietnamese veterans sought compensation for damages.

Agent Orange was to a lesser extent used outside Vietnam. It was first used by British Armed Forces in Malaysia during the Malayan Emergency. It was also used in neighbouring Laos and Cambodia during the Vietnam War because forests on the border with Vietnam were used by the Viet Cong

Such have been the evil consequences of the belligerent aggression America displayed in the Vietnam War. The sins of the USA have been too many even for God to forgive, let alone the Vietnamese who have quietly harboured in their saddened hearts the wickedness they suffered from the American imperialists.

    1. The implacable hostility of Vietnamese towards Chinese, including their own Ethnic citizens was the root of the Boat People crisis of the 198l70's and 1980's.

      "vietnamese, they dislike chinese more than american."

      Substantiate yr fart lah!

      Ooop… the boat people!

      Mfer, yes majority were mainly ethnic Chinese Vietnameses. But had u counted the percentage of ethnic Vietnamese too yet?

      The root of the boat people exodus lies within the same sopo phenomenon of Pol Pot's massacre under a deformed socialism.

      Ooop… not to leave out the same sopo product of the Black American riots that happened times & again in that demoNcratic system.

      "if chinese is given a choice to move to usa australia uk nz or china, it seem pretty obvious china is at last"

      Wakakakaka… an overblown urban legend that passes its shelf life & still keep croaking loud by these katak under that time dilated fart filled well.

      It used to be when given a migration chance, most Chinese would choose a 'developed' economies first.

      It is economic! Same all over the world.

      Nowadays, most Chinese would choose to return & remain in China. (Mfer, haven't we been through this argument before?)

      For other intended migrants, too bad. The green card from China is almost priceless to none.

      Eat yr heart out while u r waiting for yr Formosa green card. Then, it might expire soon in the coming months. Better starting to panegyrize yr uncle Sam (very little chance for mfer like u) for a chance.

      Yr best chance is to pamper yr dangdut pals by doing their favourite suci act!

  3. "The sins of the USA have been too many even for God to forgive.."

    The only way for this evil regime to stop dead in its track is to take away two things from the US : the dollar as the world reserve currency and the decimation of its military industrial complex. But the removal of the US dollar having the privilege of being the reserve currency alone is sufficient to affect greatly the yearly obscene budget given to its military industry. China now, in cooperation with some countries, is taking concrete steps, albeit still in beginning stages, towards this direction.

    Enough is enough. The world is disgusted with this big bully. This pandemic brought out the feelings of how non-Americans view America. The US at the moment is reminiscent of the Third Reich, only that Orange Bufffoon is far less creative and intelligent than the Führer.

    The views of how others see America and how it handle Covid19 now can be summed up as such :

    ( as well-put by a comment )

    * It seems that armed militia are taking over demanding to be able to get a haircut and not wear masks

    * Donald Trump seems immeasurably stupid, self centered, and cruel

    * China for the moment seems to be to the USA what the Jews were to the Nazis in the 1939s  -  scapegoats

    * It seems very possible that COVID-19 did not come from China and possibly come from the USA, where it has been for months undiscovered

    * The attempts to control the disease have been patchy and inconsistent

    * There seems to be a strong radical Christian fundamentalist element driving the USA. Donald Trump parrots their message but he himself has no religion

    * The attacks on China are damaging the USA. It appears to want to sink dragging China with it rather than work for mutual benefit

    * The constant lies coming from the regime running the USA are vile and cruel. Nancy Pelosi calling the riots in Hong Kong ‘a beautiful thing’ was disgusting, people were being set alight and killed by the rioters. She should have been calling for peace and dialogue

    * In essence the savior of the free world has become the biggest risk to humanity over the last few decades

    * People are starting to feel pity for the USA because it seems broken

      Yr uncle Sam did exactly that by shutting down the root DNS of Iraq during the height of the Iraqi war.

      By a simple click on a screen an existing country can no longer be found on any internet search!
