every day the war goes on, and every bomb we send there, is a bad day for someone, statistically mostly women and children

not invading meant a hostile state being used to launch hostile actions within PRC, I'd have to support it

Fascinating

There were Americans who opposed the nazis before 1941. During the mccarthy era, they were smeared as "preeminent anti-fascists" meaning "these people weren't opposed to the nazis when we thought they were the answer to communism, that must mean they're secret communists".

Very fascinating. Can you give me some examples of some of these people? I know people in my family who were against the Nazis have all these stories about how they were shunned by their neighbors, harassed, all these bad things had happened to them, because they were against the Nazis too early. Anyone with a native understanding of US history is real familiar with it.

You can just ask questions if something doesn't make sense, I'm happy to fill in any gaps. The RoC was secured on Taiwan by the US toward the end of the civil war for the purpose of future regime change and very explicitly used for this purpose until Nixon. We're talking about a country that dropped a bunch of lamas into Tibet in the 50s to restore their theocratic slave regime and supported terrorists in Xinjiang.

That's pretty standard when you look at the way the US enacts regime change.

It's late and I'm tired, I can search some examples from the HUAC or w/e where pre-1941 opposition of nazi germany gets smeared as pro-communism another time.

I'll be waiting eagerly for you to enlighten me
