Revelation 6:3-4 “when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.

Important Takeaways:

  • Putin offered to supply fossil fuels including natural gas to Vietnam for the long term during a state visit that comes as Moscow is seeking to bolster ties in Asia to offset its growing international isolation over its military actions in Ukraine.
  • The two countries also agreed to work on a roadmap for a nuclear science and technology center in Vietnam.
  • Of the 12 publicly announced agreements, none overtly pertained to defense. But Lam said there were other deals that were not made public.
  • Putin’s recent visits to China and now North Korea and Vietnam are attempts to “break the international isolation,”
  • Russia is the biggest supplier of military equipment to the Southeast Asian nation, and Russian oil exploration technologies help maintain Vietnam’s sovereignty claims in the contested South China Sea.
