This is so unsurprising it barely qualifies as news. Of course the Vietnamese military is preparing for that possibility. That's what militaries do. They prepare for every eventuality. I wouldn't be surprised if they had contingency plans in case of war with Cambodia, or Laos, Thailand, China, the Philippines, or even Japan. And of course they view the US as belligerent, they were being invaded by the US only fifty years ago, and all can see that the US is a rogue declining empire that is lashing out at everyone.
Is it a likely scenario though? Probably not. It's not impossible but it's on the lower end of likelihood as far as which country the US will attack next. Still, always better to be prepared.
