Why not? They didn't mind turning Ukraine into irradiated (thanks to depleted uranium) wasteland (thanks to everything else)
Ukrainians are acceptable losses. Korea being able to irradiate the mainland US, and it’s Pacific holdings are unacceptable.
The loss of Japan is also unacceptable. The US would lose its only primary ally in the region and only dragon ground. South Korea would be cut off, Taiwan would be encircled, and the US would have to rely on India, Australia, Vietnam, or the Philippines as a primary ally which would be an immense step down.
Aren't they still communist?
They’ve had approachable relations with the US for a while now. If the US pushed hard and dangled a bunch of trinkets in front of the neolib parties and members of vietnams government, I could see them partnering with the US if the US convinces them that China is a greater threat.
The government has done a good job of squashing those factions though. However, they still do exist.
