In Vietnam, they call it the American War.

IIRC they call it the "Resistance War against America" (Kháng chiến chống Mỹ), and I think the small phrasing difference is important.

Inviting old enemies at celebration of victory against them is an old commie chad move. Hell, USSR even did it to future enemies

That's some serious top dog move to invite the losers to your celebration lmao.
