is it kino?
America is the most evil nation in the world
>>220328658you're not allowed to say that. I've alerted Palantir about your seditious thoughts
>>220328658yet stalin and mao wrre infinitely worsethen there is (you), the fool
>>220328637Books about it are better.In 'We Were Soldiers', some army guy tells his fellow soldiers he'll kill them if they 'ever mention seeing red Chinese in Vietnam'.
>>220328637What made them all go insane in Mylai? I watched a documentary on it, but it[s never explained if they were given direct orders to do it from the top or if one of their commanding officers took it upon himself to do it. None of the soldiers served any time for it though. War is hell
>>220328658Keep crying about it, pussy.
>>220329363The lieutenant did like five or six months before he was pardoned.
>>220328637It is many hours of the most high class, real life kino from what was the most fucked up thing to happen on camera to that point...stuff like people setting themselves on fire, and Americans getting shot in the head. We will be lucky if we get to see something of a similar quality come out of the Russo-Ukraine, or Iran war in 30 years. These two guys are literally psychopathic killers btw
>>220329455The interviews with Vietnamese vets, both north and south, was by far the most interesting part of the docuseries desu.
>>220328637How many times have you posted this recently?
>>220329503Zero times. I just started watching tonight.
*sigh*
>>220329610quite the head of hair on this dude
>>220329455The amount of seethe from burgers here over that Vietcong guy always makes me laugh so much
>Buddhist protestors? A trifle. It was simply a matter of outsmarting them. You see, the Buddhists were protesting peacefully. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of paratroopers at their pagodas until hundreds of monks were killed or arrested. Dhu, show them the monks we tortured
>>220329401yeah I didnt feel it was worth even bringing up all things considered
i love watching current traveling videos to Vietnam. seems like a kino vacation spot
>>220328658Another day, another chang seethes about Murica post.
so pride of the american presidents kept them in the war that long?
>>220329382>>220330014they will call you anti-American but never a liar
>>220329252Mao and Stalin were infinitely better people than any President after Roosevelt. Despite all the blood on their hands, nothing they did was for personal gain, neither of them died in a luxurious mansion.
>>220328658>>220328702>>220332310>>220330014Is that why America's so-called "empire" is built entirely through diplomacy and soft power and even when America wants to fuck off, allies keep getting on their knees for them to stay?
Viet here, we love america now (beside the old boomers from Soviet era)
>>220332344>nothing they did was for personal gain, neither of them died in a luxurious mansionHe's still a mummified corpse in an open casket for the public to worship btw.
>>220328637Vietnam was undoubtedly the most kino war the US ever fought.
>>220332383>America's so-called "empire" is built entirely through diplomacy and soft powerkek, Americans really are brainwashedhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_interventions_by_the_United_States
>>220332344No, they were both greedy pieces of shit. The point is they were no worse than your average American president and the US is just as totalitarian, no amount of liberal red scare propaganda will change this. For its time the USSR was the only significant threat to US global hegemony. Mao's reign ensured China would become the superpower that it is today rather than a regressive backwater. Doesn't mean they were 'good guys'.
>>220332344lol gullible retard
>>220332413His own party denounced his wrongs right after he died, you can openly talk shit about him in modern day China. The fact that his potrait is still hung upon Tiananmen is because his good massively outweighs his bad.
>>220332475What about it? It has the capability to project global power and it uses it when necessary.
>>220332562so admit it retard, don't delude yourself into thinking the American empire is solely built on muh diplomacy and soft power
>>220332538>says the amerigoy with his foreskin missing
american army is just a private army of big businesses, old money, industrialists, rich fucks basically that exploit honest people and workersgod forbid you need to pay the worker honest wage or healthcareif it werent for socialists (that started in England not muh Russia or China for the uneducated mutts) we would be slaving and dying for elite pedos 16 hours a day instead of 8, no vacations, no healthcare , no muh free market, no nothingimagine being so scared for your stolen wealth you built on the blood of your own countrymen and literal slaves you send your private army to fight the spread of socialism in some little chinky countries like vietnam and korea only a mental greedy envious imbecile would think the system where individuals have billions is normal, fair and humane
>>220332577There are nearly 200 countries in the world. How many countries did America invade or attack apropos of absolutely nothing and it wasn't a playground of other competing powers like Russia or China?
>>220332556> his good massively outweighs his badMore like they cant remove him outright or you risk the foundational legitimacy of the party You cant talk shit about him openly in China, what the fuck are you talking aboutIn online discussion they have to use “codename” to refer to him too, like “founding father”, never his actual nameBut obviously most chinks know about his fuckups already
>>220332603>imagine being so scared for your stolen wealth you built on the blood of your own countrymen and literal slaves you send your private army to fight the spread of socialism in some little chinky countries like vietnam and koreaDoesn't really work when Mao sent hundreds of thousands of poorly-equipped changs to freeze to death fighting the gweilos in north korea
>>220328658and why is that? maybe its because of ((((them))))
>>220332603Modern socialism is a fucking joke you tardNone of those self claimed socialist countries act like one
>>220332616>Iran>Iraq>Vietnam>Cuba>AfghanistanNone of these countries ever wished harm upon USA, until USA started imposing themselves on them.In fact, Ho Chi Minh and Castro were quite fond of America.
>>220332621>You cant talk shit about him openly in China, what the fuck are you talking aboutThe most famous sci-fi novel from China is openly critical of Cultural Revolution.
>>220332660lol, Ho wasn't, he was just trying to manipulate the OSS agents during WW2 into supporting the (avowedly-communist) Vietminh after the war ended
>>220332660>hosting a Russian nuke is being fond of AmericaReally the only bad war here was Iraq.
>>220332660The US only fucked up in VN case because they chose to support their French ally firstThe others were openly anti america
>>220332688Does it actually criticise Mao's involvement or does it do the usual "mistakes were made, technically it was the fault of everyone *around* Mao giving him bad advice..." shit the wumaos usually pull if they can't get away with saying it was a necessary evil to 'reboot' chinese civilisation
>>220332697You historically illiterate nigger, the Bay of Pigs invasion happened BEFORE Cuba held nukes.The Bay of Pigs is cited as one of the main reasons Cuba looked up to USSR instead
>>220332688Which is removed from the novel later and from the TV adaptation Now so me a recent online discussion or even an official article that criticize Mao. You fucking cant
>>220332732*show me
>>220332718Lol no, it just happened in the novel with no context about who was behind it I know that chinkshill is trying his best if that is the best example he can come up with
>>220332727> nationalized U.S.-owned oil refineries, plantations, and businesses, severing economic ties and prompting the U.S. to break diplomatic relations>they werent anti america bruh
>>220332808>NOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST OWN YOUR OWN RESOURCES REEEEEE THAT'S HECKING ANTI AMERICA!!!
>>220332727Did Castro perhaps do something to prompt that invasion? Hmm, seems like we do have a pattern of there usually being a good reason for the majority of American military interventions and it's not unjustified empire-building like what Russia did and does.
>>220332718>>220332732It clearly shows commies beating up people in struggle sessions.Also, it wasn't removed from the novel.Why tf would CCP remove a section they offically agree with?
>>220332878Remove a puppet dictator?Improve his nations literacy?
>>220332887Does it actually blame Mao directly for it or not
>>220332826If you love getting your property stolen by the state why dont you swim to Cuba lmao
>>220332939No sar, you dont understand, showing such an event is already enough for us chinese It’s like calling Trump orange man, but with chinese characteristic
American guy: We always made sure that we got our dead out of there because... *begins to cry* ...because an American never leaves a hero behind.VC Guy: Stupid Americans kept on running out into no-mans-land to pick up corpses. Every time we killed 1 we were guaranteed to kill another 3 or 4 lmao
>>220332926I didn't know Cuba has been a democracy since Castro's reign. Stealing American property and openly and persistently broadcasting yourself as an enemy to America while being a stone's throw away from her shores would do the trick of prompting more aggressive action, yeah. America tried diplomacy first by recognizing Castro's Cuba, but he couldn't stop himself from being an insufferable leftoid. And now look at where Cuba is today. Same fate for Iran btw.
>>220328658not Israel?
>>220333060Israel wouldn't get away with anything if it weren't for America.
>>220333060Israel reputation is not bad in VN actually
>Tries to win your war by being an agile middle-managing scrum master
>>220332383>>220332475I like this one better:>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_regime_change>built entirely through diplomacy and soft powerThe U.S. has been almost constantly at war, either directly or indirectly, for the past 200 years. Notably, not even a single one of those wars was in the best interest of anyone except the U.S.; every single one was started out of pure greed and avarice, pushed by bankers and politicians.Most Americans have no idea that these wars even took place. As one of many examples, yhe U.S. militarily occupied Haiti from 1915 to 1934.>The United States occupation of Haiti began on July 28, 1915, when 330 U.S. Marines landed at Port-au-Prince, Haiti, after the National City Bank of New York (now Citibank) convinced U.S. President Woodrow Wilson to take control of the country's political and financial interests.Does that sound like "diplomacy and soft power" to you? The federal government literally being told what to do by bankers and invading foreign nations to enforce loan repayments to private banks. >During the occupation, Haiti had three new presidents while the United States ruled as a military regime through martial law, led by Marines and the U.S.-created Gendarmerie of Haiti. A corvée system of forced labor was used by the U.S. for infrastructure projects, resulting in hundreds to thousands of deaths. The occupation ended the constitutional ban on foreign ownership of land, which had existed since the foundation of Haiti.The vast majority of Americans have no idea that this ever took place, and this is just one of dozens of examples over the past ~200 years of similar shit taking place all over the globe.America is the most evil nation in the world.
>>220333132He unironically could've won the war if he had access to Excel and pivot tables 2bh
>>220333013All america had to do was->Not force a brutal dictator on Cuba that sucks up to them>Not exploit their resourcesNo cuban revolution, no castro, no che, nothing.As shrimple as that.And don't pretend Cuba's state is solely due to their leadership and not the brutal emargo that isolates ALL but few countries from Cuba. The same embargo the all countries in UN agree is bad and want gone (except Israel).
>>220333060Israel is nothing without America
>>220333652and yet they own youcurious
>>220333175Haiti is one of the most evil nations in the world. The us should’ve killed every person in the country and recolonized it.
>>220333633>yeah fuck your pro US brutal dictator>we want our pro Soviet brutal dictator instead!Just admit these brownie always want someone to rule over their asses
>>220333734The forced dissolution of the USSR was the greatest tragedy in human history. It’s no coincidence that everything began going to shit after the fall.
>>220328637I thought this documentary was terrific. I watched it around 9 years ago. I originally ignored it because it was produced by Ken Burns who is left-leaning -- so I expected it to be anti-American. I didn't know anything about the politics of Vietnam (I'm not a Yank) so I found the series enlightening. It certainly made me understand the French plantation scene in Apocalypse Now.
>>220333734How was Castro brutal if i may ask?If anything, he went way too soft on the traitors that helped with Bay of Pigs, Stalin would have them shot on sight.
>>220333788He stole my family’s casino
i appreciate the crazy fellas who are brutally honest on this thing but god damn they are fucked up. truly hate each other to this day
