Reading a lib history book which mentions the Korean war a bit. One thing that stood out was the discussion about why the US decided to intervene when the North Korean forces captured most of the country. At that point they effectively ended the mass slaughter, mass executions, mass torture, mass incarceration and expropriation of communists and communist adjacent or even non ideological nationalist capitalists.
The South under Rhee literally killed families and people who were doing “free speech” bits. Another example is that a head of one prison forced anti communist tattoos on the whole population (which might’ve inspired the Inglorious bastards marking), those who resisted were beaten and tortured and the communist leader within the prison was put onto a platform and his arms would be cut of, he was mangled and executed - without any sentence - with a knife by the anti-communist Rhee approved prison head.
We aren’t speaking about “single cases” with those executions in the South either. However the thing I did really want to mention is this: The US intervened at a time that there were going genocides going on against others and the Apartheid laws were enshrined in legislation within South Africa, that didn’t lead to any political action from the sides of the US. They did chose to act “morally” and anti communist cause they didn’t want to have a strong communist nation next to freshly communist China. Their goal was driven by Kennan, racist and antisemite Truman and others and was controlling competed borders even if they had to kill every living being in them. The US did plan to attack China and Korea with nuclear weapons to (quote) “tame” them even.
“Biowarfare was used” undersells it a bit, makes it seem like it could have been a one time thing. it was used hundreds of times
Plug OBL into that picture and post it in reactionary channels and you will get a top post. Decrying the “evil”, even if you expose the original later on.
Post the original into very reactionary channels and it will be a top post. Saying “finally someone tells the truth”.
I was listening to npr awhile ago and they had on a think tank guy and he was explaining why n Korea has nukes. And the host had a hard time wrapping his mind around the idea that they had nukes to protect themselves from the USA. He also shared stats like the USA bombed into dust 90% of the cities in North Korea.
The host sounded like she had to no idea how to respond when he said that trump was the first president to actually deescalate the peninsula.
but I’m a liberal and liberals are good and the United States is the liberal superpower so we are good? don’t understand how we could be bad. Mmmm liberalism
The shitbags even killed their own allie’s civilians on purpose. No Gun Ri massacre was three days of Dunkirk except they weren’t firing on troops, they were firing on refugees.
Members of the U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment dug in near No Gun Ri and only three days into their time at the war front opened fire on the civilians. One veteran recalls being instructed “fire on everything, kill ’em all.” Over the course of a three-day barrage of gunfire and air strafing, hundreds of South Korean civilians were killed.
The ultimate report by the U.S. military, which left out or ignored numerous pieces of evidence, found that the deaths at No Gun Ri were “an unfortunate tragedy” and “not a deliberate killing.”
wow how unfortunate that all those different soldiers and airplanes got orders to fire on the same innocent group of civilians nothing could have prevented this :amerikkka:
