I couldn't have summed it up better myself, glaring paradox notwithstanding. Professor Young’s advice #6 is perfectly applicable to this set of farang’s condescending advice.

To my best knowledge that was part of the peace deal in 1973. And Chinese and North Vietnamese knew that after a while they have left, they just can't return anymore due to the huge toll the war had taken on America's military and public opinion etc. So this dude's point is moot. Other than that, I have no idea what is this Buddhist stuff he is writing so can't comment on do they contain anything useful for real-life politicians, or do they contain some sort of advice to consult spirits to make decisions and what not.

Politicians have no interest in such, why not try and explain Chaos Theory to a goat, the interest level and understanding would be on par. Why do people continue to misunderstand the motivations of politicians, they are all the same, everywhere no different. They are there to make money and to achieve power and influence. Now that was easier than ten commandment nonsense above and at least they know what you are talking about.
