This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
The US had to declare war without Congress, because Congress basically agreed to create a unified Korea under a democratically elected government... an election that the communists won and caused the US military to panic.
As the US had just finished WW2 and Cold War propaganda had not really taken effect yet, the population was vehemently against any other war, especially as the Soviets and Chinese were still seen as good friends and allies. A problem the government... circumvented.
You should check out the podcast 'blowback', their last season was all about the Korean war. Over ten hours of great, us-critical (i.e. fair) history and unlike their other two seasons I was shocked by how little of this stuff I remembered/was taught in school
Douglas macarthur was a crazy motherfucker lol
Came here to say that. Blowback should be required listening for students. It's really insane what has happened to Korea, unconscionable
Now the US has just learned to bomb countries with drones instead of bothering to declare war, save themselves a lot of time. That way they never need to bother with inconveniences like approval or popular opinion.
