Vietnam isn't a threat to America's iron fist of control over the planet though.

I don't think Washington's ghouls would be saying these kind of things if Vietnam didn't matter to them. As far as the US is concerned, any independent nation that could be a regional/ global power is a threat by default.
Even just a country existing independently by themselves is already enough for them to do whatever they can to demonize and attack them as such an independent country will be a symbol of hope for other countrries wanting the same.
