Vladimir Putin’s visit to Vietnam showed the failure of the United States’ attempts to isolate Russia. The Global Times writes about this with reference to Li Haidong, a professor at the Chinese Foreign Affairs University.
Li said the US has to accept the reality that its attempt to isolate Russia by forcing other countries to take sides is futile. There are many countries that do not want to be US puppets, and Washington, despite being unhappy with that, has to adapt to it.
In addition, the US should stop dreaming of pushing Vietnam around with this relationship, as the US hegemony-centered world order is disintegrating and Washington should learn to deal with other sovereign countries on an equal footing, According to Global Times.
Before this, Vladimir Putin called the negotiations with Vietnamese President To Lam and Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh productive. The Russian leader announced good prospects for the development of bilateral relations in the near, medium, and longer term.
