Damn, this is such a bad year for our Yuon brother. They got hit by excessive rain and storm, and on top of that one of the new bridge under construction collapse on them.
I wish we can help them out, but we barely got enough to get by.
Anyway, the Vietnamese people is very strong and resilient. I am sure they will be alright.
May God take good care of them.
O MG this just a few strike of God to punish the dictator country like Vietnam.
KI, we know, that half side of Vietnam country is on the coast line. If Ah Vietcong continue to stay dumb and not doing anything better to protect their people that is their problem. Tell them to stop being mean and rotten to khmers Krom and may be God will somehow taking pity on them and move the storm off someplace else and until then may be there will be some samphathy. As for now, just get tought!
Actually, all the bad lucks came from Ah Khmer-Yuons preaching false Buddhism. Just send them to mass graves, and problem solve.
God would be better if he can create a tsunami .
Yeah, but then you'll have 80 millions Vietnameses to move to China, Laos, and Cambodia.
Wrong! They will go with the Tsunami.
Okay, some of them will go with the Tsunami as you said, but then they don't want to live near the shore no more, and they will seek to move further inland into China, Laos, and Cambodia.
Go beg ah chin for some land. Don't you barbarci-mf go around and create trouble with everybody else! That would not be appropiated and clearly not acceptable.
That manhood stuff also must go. So that it shouldn't be too many or more vietcong produced in this world. Thief race.
Nope, we love vietcongs to come from Hanoi to help us, and we want to deport the fake vietcongs from HCM city back to where they came from.
