Today, 46 years ago, on March 2, 1979 (February 4, 1979), the Soviet Union said China was the worst threat. On March 2, 1979, in a speech on domestic and foreign policy, Soviet leader Leonid-I-Breginev insulted the People's Republic of China as the "greatest threat to world peace." This assertion came from the February 12 operation of China's entry into Vietnam. Brzezinev called China's assault a "unprecedented and shameless bandit attack on the Socialist Republic of Vietnam." Soviet leaders did not vow to give military support to Vietnam. He used a mutual kiss on the United States, saying the strategic weapons treaty was actually completed. Hanoi and Beijing recently expressed their willingness to start border talks.
