Put your seat bell on all Lao nationalist worldwide. Close your eye. Just watch and shut your big jar mouth (Say nothing) for the betterment of our beloved country because Laos is halfway on the verge to be Vietnamized....
"A tadpole (Laos) will almost become a frog (Vietnam)" Hold your breath.
you lao nork traitors always complain about Lao PDR today being the ones that let all the Viets in.... It was your friends who backed the Lao Royal family the french who allowed all these viets in...
Very slowly France began institutions to improve Laos. Central Laos around major population centers did experience some economic upgrades and some in Isan began to migrate back into Laos. The French created national route 13 to increase trade throughout Laos and this helped in a very big way. The first law school opened in 1923 in Vientiane to draw interest in local Lao willing to participate in the government, but as studies have shown most of the students were Vietnamese who had come to Lao under French supervision. Many children of Vietnamese immigrants to Laos—who made up the majority of the colonial civil service—attended these schools and, in fact, constituted a significant proportion of the students at secondary levels in urban centers. Numbers from the 1920s and 30s have shown that 90% of Lao people were merely substinence farmers growing food for their own living and a selling a small amount. lol lao was so free then :)) 90% were farmers back in royal times haha a great beacon of democracy!
^^ Flag of Lao traitor Royal Family France and west will always rule you
so bow down to your real flag lao traitors
Please stop posting lies about how Lao PDR is the one that bows down to the Vietnamese. The Lao royal family bowed down to the French/USA for years with the French allowing in most of the Vietnamese way before 1975.
The French colonialists actively encouraged the migration of Vietnamese to Laos. More than 50,000 Vietnamese moved into Laos during this time, including large numbers of technicians, artisans, lower-ranking officials, schoolteachers, doctors and other professionals. By 1939 the public services of Laos were largely staffed by Vietnamese, and the urban population, too, was predominantly Viet Kieu (migrant Vietnamese settlers).
After independence in 1953, Viet Kieu made up 7 percent of the total population, and ethnic Chinese a further 2–3 percent. In urban terms the contrast was far more marked with Viet Kieu and Chinese combined constituting 57 percent of the population of Vientiane and 85 percent of that of Pakse.

Despite you can come up with nice and fancy hypothetical theory , one thing you can't change the outcome is: Laos is Laos. Lao land belongs to Lao people.
Vietnam was under China domination for more than thousand years.....until Franco-Chinese War in 1884 Vietnam was under France protectorate. I guest most Vietnamese
don't like their country under DOMINATION of foreign power. My question to your is: If Vietnamese people don't like foreign power to occupy their country, why Vietnamese
people want to occupy Laos?
In historical perspective, Chao Lane Khamdeng is the first Lao king who can repel Vietnamese invader out of Laos. Then by 1700, Vietnam installed Sai Ong Hue back to Laos
again. This is a clear indicative to convince our readers that Vietnam is interfere in Lao internal political affair.

Well you shouldnt lie to people that Vietnam is somehow just running Laos nowadays... France was the first one to bring en masse Viets to Lao territory. 50,000 Viets were brought in by France because they decided that Lao were too "dumb" to do their own governing. While France was in Lao the Lao royal family said nothing about it. Why? Because Lao royal family was getting protection of their throne and money from whatever profits France gave them. French Indochina was the easiest situation in the world for France.. France knew if they won over the Royals of Lao Khmer and Vietnam, they had easy sailing. Dont you think a king of any nation should say something when the person putting them in power basically just said their people are stupid and ignorant? Nope King of Laos said nothing that shows you how much any royal family cares about their people. 0%
Funny you say Laos belongs to Lao people when the first revolts against the white man were actually done by Lao theung, the original inhabitants of Laos. Ong Kaeo who was of the Alak mon khmer tribe led revolts against the white man and also Ntrang Long a Mnong mon khmer person led revolts against France along the Lao Khmer Vietnam border areas. If you meant to Laos belongs to all ethnics living in Laos then fine.
So why then did North Vietnam help Pathet Lao? Well simple, Lao Royal Family and kingdom of Laos had been supported by the white man since 1850s so Pathet Lao also used an outside funding source of North Vietnam and by extension China since China funded North Vietnam. You also ignore that King Anouvong asked Vietnamese to help fight against Siam as well. Its easy to pick and choose historical facts but in the end everyone asks for help from neighbors.

Also on a side note Laos as a nation hasnt been free of any outside influence for a very long time. France and USA dominated Lao politics for years...Vietnamese ran civil service posts in Laos way more than they do now up to the 1950's. I don't understand how you people overlook that. USA even tanked Kingdom of Laos economy by stopping the millions of dollars in aid because some leftist and pathet lao politicians won elections in a supposed free election. Kingdom of Laos was so badly corrupt that it could not even keep itself afloat without the 90% aid of America and the CIA. Lao Royal Family members were getting money from patikan Vang Paos drug trading.
just one of probably many stories of real corruption
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN," announced the genteel British diplomat, raising his glass to offer a toast, "I give you Prince Sopsaisana, the uplifter of Laotian youth." The toast brought an appreciative smile from the lips of the guest of honor, cheers and applause from the luminaries of Vientiane's diplomatic corps gathered at the send-off banquet for the Laotian ambassador-designate to France, Prince Sopsaisana. His appointment was the crowning achievement in a brilliant career. A member of the royal house of Meng Khouang, the Plain of Jars region, Prince Sopsaisana was vice-president of the National Assembly, chairman of the Lao Bar Association, president of the Lao Press Association, president of the Alliance Francaise, and a member in good standing of the Asian People's Anti-Communist League. After receiving his credentials from the king in a private audience at the Luang Prabang Royal Palace on April 8, 1971, the prince was treated to an unprecedented round of ****tail parties, dinners, and banquets. (1)For Prince Sopsaisana, or Sopsai as his friends call him, was not just any ambassador; the Americans considered him an outstanding example of a new generation of honest, dynamic national leaders, and it was widely rumored in Vientiane that Sopsai was destined for high office some day.
The send-off party at Vientiane's Wattay Airport on April 23 was one of the gayest affairs of the season. Everybody was there: the cream of the diplomatic corps, a bevy of Lao luminaries, and, of course, you-know who from the American Embassy. The champagne bubbled, the canapes were flawlessly French, and Mr. Ivan Bastouil, charge d'affaires at the French Embassy, Lao Presse reported, gave the nicest speech. (2) Only after the plane had soared off into the clouds did anybody notice that Sopsai had forgotten to pay for his share of the reception. When the prince's flight arrived at Paris's Orly Airport on the morning of April 25, there was another reception in the exclusive VIP lounge. The French ambassador to Laos, home for a brief visit, and the entire staff of the Laotian Embassy had turned out. (3) There were warm embraces, kissing on both cheeks, and more effusive speeches. Curiously, Prince Sopsaisana insisted on waiting for his luggage like any ordinary tourist, and when the mountain of suitcases finally appeared after an unexplained delay, he immediately noticed that one was missing. Angrily Sopsai insisted his suitcase be delivered at once, and the French authorities promised, most apologetically, that it would be sent round to the Embassy just as soon as it was found. But the Mercedes was waiting, and with flags fluttering, Sopsai was whisked off to the Embassy for a formal reception.
While the champagne bubbled at the Laotian Embassy, French customs officials were examining one of the biggest heroin seizures in French history: the ambassador's "missing" suitcase contained sixty kilos of high-grade Laotian heroin worth $13.5 million on the streets of New York,(4) its probable destination. Tipped by an unidentified source in Vientiane, French officials had been waiting at the airport. Rather than create a major diplomatic scandal by confronting Sopsai with the heroin in the VIP lounge, French officials quietly impounded the suitcase until the government could decide how to deal with the matter.
Although it was finally decided to hush up the affair, the authorities were determined that Sopsaisana should not go entirely unpunished. A week after the ambassador's arrival, a smiling French official presented himself at the Embassy with the guilty suitcase in hand. Although Sopsaisana had been bombarding the airport with outraged telephone calls for several days, he must have realized that accepting the suitcase was tantamount to an admission of guilt and flatly denied that it was his. Despite his protestations of innocence, the French government refused to accept his diplomatic credentials and Sopsai festered in Paris for almost two months until he was finally recalled to Vientiane late in June.
Back in Vientiane the impact of this affair was considerably less than earthshaking. The all-powerful American Embassy chose not topursue the matter, and within a few weeks everything was conveniently forgotten (5) According to reports later received by the U.S. Bureau of Narcotics, Sopsai's venture had been financed by Meo Gen. Vang Pao, commander of the CIA's Secret Army, and the heroin itself had been refined in a laboratory at Long Tieng, which happens to be the CIA's headquarters for clandestine operations in northern Laos.(6) Perhaps these embarrassing facts may explain the U.S. Embassy's lack of action.
☼→I am eager and wish to see WWIII start now. When WWIII should start? Deeply in my heart, I hope it should start SOON. Faster!!Faster .What I want to see is my lovely American Air Power to RAIN all kinds of NUCLEAR War HEADS on Laos and on Vietnam. I want to see a HELL of FIRE burning these stupid Lao commies.
Buddha God, help mankind to END this long suffer and make it possible by having WWIII breaking out..
Go back and kiss your hoo kee white masters butt then maybe he will spend some military dollars on laos. Buddha is not a god and the white mans god isn't real lol you have really turned into a war mongering white ass kisser
Dont be sad I know you and your family are upset because you picked the wrong side to fight on (whites) but everyone is welcome back to Laos now. Not even the whites have any care for the Vietnam war anymore its just their stubborn puppets (you) that cry about something that happened 40 years ago.
Im glad you had a constructive rebuttal to all of my facts, seems like your type of rebuttal is common to white trash republican right wingers.
Nuke China? Why would Amerikkka nuke the country that holds all of it's debt Oh that is right land of the cowards I completely forgot.
PS Your English still sucks and how long have you lived in Amerikkka? No wonder why 50% of Lao Americans don't even graduate past high school in the land of the free home of the cowards.
☼. It is very clear picture after Cold War is over.
The real winners are : Vietnam, China, and Thailand.
a). Vietnam get a LION SHARE out of slowly dying Lao nation, b). At the same time, China get an ACCEPTABLE portion out of ailing and politic malaise Laos, c). The rest belongs to the old or original predator. i.e. SIAM
Historical perspectives and physical evidences.
→ Who took our Sipsong Panna (America or China?) → Who took our Sipsong Chao Thai (America or Vietnam?) → Who took Lao Esa (America or Siam?)
These three yellow tigers ARE EATING US ALIVE...Wake up Lao Intellectual
A. Please make sure to thank your white man master ie French for allowing all the Vietnamese into Laos because they believed Lao people are too stupid to do their own governance. Rofl even back to historic times Lanxang never governed sipsong panna. The original Tai blooded people came from that region to Southeast Asia. So sure Im sure I and Lao theung would be happy if you go back to China
B.What? any evidence?
C. Siam is the main friend of the west in Southeast Asia. I thought thats how all lao norks compare Laos to. Oh Siam is so advanced Siam is this that. I have known Siam to be a looting evil corrupt west worshipping nation for years. You just realize this now? You weren't complaining when Siam was helping Kingdom of Laos to try and vanquish all the "evil leftists" and Pathet Lao were you?You don't complain while Siam violently puts down the many thousand Isan rebels do you?
