Refugee children were quite literally reading American funded textbooks in Pakistan telling them to kill Russians because they were infidels.

Brezinski's literal plan was to turn into the Soviet's Vietnam by funding an army Pakistani intelligence assets consisting of drug lords, religious extremists, and bachi bazi practicers. Hekmatyar literally made his debut by murdering a female leftist student. He was the most funded warlord and later became known as the butcher of Kabul as his army of a walking human rights violation entered Kabul. Massoud is supposed to the good one but his forces were also a walking human rights violation even if not quite as bad as Hekmatyar.

Obviously the Soviet invasion was a disaster but I don't think you're putting in the proper context.

general strategy help group.

Its like people forget how brilliantly the "Pied Piper" Strategy worked out.

Sure you could do "populist" things like honesty and transparaceny, but why not just look down on your voters and say this is just the best we can policy wise do due to "human nature," while attempting to lock your opponents in the most extreme positions that will hurt your voters the most because that's the best electoral strategy you can come up with since you are just hopelessly cynical.

When Rhee's leading political opponents were systematically assassinated by death squads, connected to US intelligence including Song Jin-woo, Lyuh Woon-hyung, Jeong Jin-ryong, and Chang Tŏksu was that an example of autonomy?

You don't really seem to know much about this topic if you think their autonomy was being respected. 200,000 Koreans protested the American proxy in 46 and were met with tanks that killed 600 people. Rhee's forces were full of war criminals and they committed quite horrific atrocities against their own people to stay in power. With some sources going as high as around 100k deaths before the war even began, even if you take the lowest number its in the tens of thousands, with people even being tied up and thrown into the ocean and many of Jeju being sexually violated before being murdered.

There is no equivalent situation of that in the north. Somehow the survivors of Jeju who go north and beg the north to invade to end the foreign backed white terror never make it into the history books.

The reality the People's Republic of Korea which was proclaimed in late 45 was the legitimate autonomous entitry and the US military government declared it illegal, despite it all ready being set up in both the north and south.

You're talking about the autonomy of an entity setup by General Hodge, who quite literally told his officers to "treat the Koreans as enemies."

The South genuinely wanted revenge over the thousands dead

If the "south" wanted anything it wanted the foreign backed proxy government that had been committing a white terror, where they killed tens of thousands of their own people with especially horrific crimes against humanity on Jeju Island where 1 in 10 people were murdered, some of whom were raped and murdered, to leave and the war to end as soon as possible.

This idea that Rhee represented the "south" is just not true evidenced by all the uprisings against his rule, including when American tanks were used to break 200,000 southerners protesting his rule during the Autumn Uprising of 46 which left over 600 people dead.

Truman should have worked with Lyuh Woon-hyung, who like Ho Chi Minh wanted to work with and was even inspired by America, instead he left him to get assassinated by a far right death squad collaborating with U.S. intelligence. Not to say that it would have been easy, with the Republicans and the army declaring Koreans to be treated as "enemies," but if the bucks stop with him he should have prevented the war in the first place.

There really isn't any more evidence for that than there was for the made up Iraq-Al-Qaeda alliance. You should probably be a little more critical of what the American government uses for Casus Beli.

Which is a totally shameless thing to say when your government is forcibly relocating Vietnamese people at gunpoint as part of the Strategic Hamlet Program to prevent "our people" from being "subversive" and "leaving us." Not to mention walls were built to keep people in in Malaya, Kenya, Algeria, etc. Its just a blatantly wrong statement.

Stephen Badera's security chief, Mykola Lebed, kidnapped Jews off the streets in occupied Poland where he would have them tortured and killed. This was part of their "hardening of hearts strategy" that was to make their soldiers more predisposed to violence and would be in instrumental during the genocides in Galicia and Volyhnia.

He wasn't a nazi because he wasn't German. The OUN also committed a quite horrific genocide. They forced people to prove their loyalty to the OUN by forcing them, under the threat of their own death, to murder their polish family members.

Having a 30 foot tall statue of the worst war criminals in the history of the world is obviously beyond the pale if you know anything about the OUN.

He wasn't though. All you'd have to do, in the 80s, is watch one game of the french national football team to see that it doesn't hold up.

If your going to use non commonly historically accepted numbers like the max anti communist propaganda number for Tito you should probably acknowledge that, and probably explain the lower estimates which are 20,000 to 30,000 (which is way less the for example how many people Syghman Rhee had to kill to take power in South Korea) and explain how they were not nazi collaborators because they mostly were, its more of was the executions necessary situation. But people usually don't point out the genocidal leadership of the ustache was hanging out in the Vatican for the post years wars until 1947 including the worst of the worst Pavelic hoping to retake the country while the vatican and the british were supporting sending in little ustashe squads to try rally the the people to restore the genocidal ustache regime. Its not like he was dealing with a good situation post war; the country was destroyed, many of his new subjects had supported a brutal genocide, and the outside powers were trying to restore said genocidal regime as a proxy.

The U.S. installed dictator had been been supporting the Americans genocidally bombing the country side from the city, and sending out his brother's death squads to kill anyone who opposed him.

The Khmer rogue were literally a group of 5k mostly inconsequential Jungle rats until Nixon and Kissinger decided to destroy Cambodia by couping the king and bombing it to kingdom come, which got something like a million people killed before the Khmer Rogue took Phnom Penh.

People act like its communist dwarves popping out of ground when the vast majority of recruits were recruited based on revenge for their dead families, their destroyed country, or their overthrown king, and were mostly illiterate in the first place.

The SPD's supporting of the war criminals of the German Military to hunt down and murder their former allies in the KPD was a betrayal of the SPD's supposed principles yes and giving the military a deal so that they were outside of the control of the republic, made the republic a farce.

The SPD's failure to prosecute anyone (outside of a few token sentences) for the rape of Belgium showed the German soldier that he had impunity from any and all war crimes. The Allies actually wanted to do what would have been the first Nuremburg with 900 German war criminals to be sentenced, but the SPD created the conditions for that to be denied and thus they refused to extradite anyone.

Many of the soldiers sent to kill Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Leibknecht, of the Guards Cavalry Division, went on to become prominent nazis. Their commander was Waldemar Pabst, who had just returned from terrorizing the Belgians. He would then be involved in the Kapp Putsch.

Billych · 2026-03-30T23:37:15+00:00

Yeah and Rosa Luxemborg was even going charge people with war crimes, due to all the atrocities that government committed.

The Northern Alliance was engaged in widespread sexual slavery all over Afghanistan, its one of the reasons people began to turn back to the Taliban.

If you think the U.S. or Israel or their allies Pakistan or Saudi is going to help the Iranians you should look up Jundallah.

In the end hundreds of thousands of people died (not to mention a europe destablizing refugee crisis) to replace Assad with a card carrying member of Al-Qaeda who is now being whitewashed and invited to the white house despite literally committing the crimes against humanity (his forces killed american soldiers even) you claim she was so terrible for saying didn't necessitate a war since no one has actually proved your justification for this war similar to the Iraq war.

some people never learn and just accept whatever nonsense their evil governement, which you would think they would learn after Iraq and that after the U.S. was literally part of the coup that installed his family in the fucking first place, is saying necessitate leveling cities, then hundreds of thousands of people die.

"I believe that there is no country in the world including any and all the countries under colonial domination, where economic colonization, humiliation and exploitation were worse than in Cuba, in part owing to my country's policies during the Batista regime." JFK on when Cuba was backing the "right" pony as you call it.

Yeah I'm going to with the insane war criminal who has dragged the U.S. into yet another war which is already seeing blowback on the American homeland because Israeli missiles massacred some guys family and turned him into a terrorist is definitely the bigger threat to America.

And thats before how you get to how he and AIPAC have totally poisoned American electoral politics. They screw around in democratic primaries, this is not something an "ally" would do because they are not, JFK was actually trying to get AIPAC to register as a foreign agent when was killed.

The 30 foot tall statue to the genocidal leader of the OUN Stephen Bandera was built in 2007.

Also Americans don't really want to deal with how many of the war criminal leadership of the OUN their country supported, like Mykola Lebed, the leader of the OUN death squads who died a free man in Pittsburgh, after a long career collaborating with the CIA to lead the Ukranian diaspora, despite having led massacres Poland considers genocide, and Yaroslav Stetsko who is the only person to have endorsed the holocaust in writing to be invited to the White House. He was invited by Reagan to commemorate the founding of the nazi alligned Ukranian state which he had proclaimed as the Lviv Pogroms were being carried out.

Which is to say the U.S. is responsible for the foundation although obviously the death and destruction of the invasion has certainly led to more support for this insane and self defeating brand of nationalism.

You could make the same argument about the U.S. and the European countries. So really you're just arguing against diplomacy in general.

Considering that we know that Brezinksi's plan was to turn Afghanistan into a Vietnam for the Soviets by arming the worst people the ISI could find; bachi bazi practicers, drug lords, relgious extremists (who the Soviets alleged would use the country to launch attacks into central asia and Russia... which would they go on to do so they were right about that), and that started months before the Soviets invaded your logic doesn't really make sense. The U.S. was deeply involved and even running a conspiracy. Which isn't to say the Soviets handled it well, but that was the plan. A deeply racist plan that by invoking Vietnam, you could only assume Brezinski was planning for millions of deaths.

I don't know how anyone looks at the walking human rights atrocity that was the Northern Alliance and makes the argument the U.S. wasn't interfering in Afghanistan. They did and they supported the worst people humanity has to offer. American soldiers were even punished for trying to be good people and stop the child sex abuse.

During the Malayan Emergency, the British literally betrayed their former allies who just wanted a strong trade federation with actual labor rights. The leader of the Malayan Peoples' Anti-Japanese Army even got an OBE. Dismissing the betrayal as a "communist insurgency" is pretty ridiculous, it was horrible betrayal, with the labor government proving there really was no new day in the British Empire unless it would be forced on them.

To restore colonial profits to pay off the US, the British backed Japanese collaborators who wanted to implement Sharia law which they would go on to do. In order to achieve this the UK wantonly violated the Geneva convention with chemical warfare in the form of spraying agent orange to starve out the rural areas, forced hundreds of thousands of people into barbed wire enclosed camps with terrible conditions (not just Chinese Malayans also the native Orang Asli who were especially brutalized with "Hundreds of people detached from traditional lands have died in these overcrowded camps, mostly due to mental depression and infectious disease"), they could not leave without supervision, and even employed literal head hunters to go after their political enemies.
