Seven days after an American aircraft carrier pulled into a Vietnamese port — the longest such visit since the two nations reconciled in the 1990s — the world was reminded that history does not move in straight lines. What was once a theater of devastating war has become a stage for strategic partnership, as Washington and Hanoi find common cause in the shifting geometry of Indo-Pacific power. The visit was a message written in naval tonnage: the United States intends to remain present in the region, and Vietnam, for all its careful balancing, is leaning toward that presence.
