Living in a VC stronghold

I'm representing Marlon Brando this evening and he has asked me to tell you … that he very regretfully cannot accept this very generous award.

VC, back in those days , it meant one thing, the Việt Cộng  Army ,  led by Ho Chi Minh....
Now it means like Venture Capitol, but back then, the Communist forces they had venture Capitol !
But really, what stuff was going through John Kerry's head when he threw the medals in the river ?
Maybe he was frustrated that a lot of people were dying over a money game ?

now these are "declassified files"

but really I am surprised, I had no idea so much hard cash was flowing into Vietnam 

wasn't it all like "money Ball" ???

there were advisors from USSR, there, keeping tabs on all this gear, yes ?

didn't they "win" ? well, sort of

actually, Capitalism appears to have won the days, but maybe not the nights !

but is Russian forces really going to grab the land bridge, roll through Mariupol ?

there's not a lot to stop them, while Ukraine is a non. Nato Member, true it'd bring about the Third World War, or tease that tension further, but Who cares these days /  ? / just make sure it's a non fat caramel latte at my Starbucks counter !

as an isolated element supposedly being connected by some super long bridge, Crimea is a rather stupid/ vanity  acquisition for them, of course the maritime territory is stupendous, the real estate fantastic, the wines are , well , quite improvable

but what about the trillion plus dollars in offshore oil and gas resources ?

wasn't that Ukraine's Golden ticket to a future of energy independence ?

wasn't it like stolen in a sham election, with some kind of lame,

and underhanded military ploy, simply taken ?

we all just want to make money, right ?

so does any "status quo" mean that Ukraine can even relax for a minute, hour, day ?

it's expensive, all this war, time to build bridges, not blow them
