I mean I'm sure that there are some Vietnamese out there who don't think much of the current regime. Just like there are guys in the US who call themselves Confederates. But in a political context there is absolutely nothing wrong with saying (North) Vietnam won USA lost.
So you are saying during the time of the war, there was not a North Vietnam and a South Vietnam, and the US was not allied with South Vietnam, and that in the end North Vietnam won and after that North and South reunified to become the singular Vietnam?

That's not what you said before, and that's all I am calling you out on. Your use of parentheses above is a half-hearted attempt to correct yourself, but your comparison to Confederates is way off.

It is stupid to continue to play semantics like this with you, so I will end my comments with you on this here.
