As a Korean American, my family and I are eternally grateful that the US got involved in the Korean War
Americans grasping for whatever moral authority they can so they don’t have to understand history
In addition, modern historical research is proving that the idea of American presence in Vietnam wasn’t as terrible as previously thought while also proving that the North Vietnamese and Viet-Cong weren’t as noble as most people think.
Goddamn the bootlicking. Also, what kind of mealy mouthed phrasing is “the idea of American presence?” Is this some sort of “in our hypothetical, Vietnam becoming a puppet state of America would’ve turned out okie-dokie” nonsense?
Those Viet Cong were no angels while the U.S. dropped napalm and Agent Orange over their villages.

Defending Korea, Iraq and even the bombing of Cambodia
Why do you make me read this stuff
What did this fucking fascist want them to do in Yemen and Cambodia, just genocide harder?
Look sweaty, dropping more bombs on them than the allies dropped on Nazi Germany wasn’t enough, you just don’t understand but if america had just dropped more bombs it would have worked! They just didn’t kill and maim enough people! Too many babies were being born without birth defects! They were able to walk through their fields without fear of unexploded ordnance blowing them up!
Saying bay of pigs didn’t go far enough is funny because using it as a metaphor has been literally the only thing that has gotten a couple liberals I’ve talked to to see there’s more to ukraine than “Russia is literally just evil and wants to take over the world” because America’s justification for everything its done to Cuba is russias justification for what’s happening in Ukraine, except its actually real in the later case.
I’d have voted yes for Vietnam given that I’m from South Vietnam.

I just can’t find an appropriate response to this. I just can’t.
