Vietnam started this AFTER China threatened them with war over an oil platform they didn't want in their waters. And that was just a year after the Chinese iron ore company spilled ore into Vietnam waters, killing most fish.. I was there when it happened. No one ate fish for a year. Fuck China
Correction : in "their" waters. Meant to write in the waters they claim (the Chinese claim everything to be theirs, even if it is clearly Vietnam area, or international waters)
That sounds totally legit. Would you mind wiring $50 to me first? I'll give it back to you once I got the cards working ;-) send it to f00l@fu.com
Thanks! !
