I found the part you made up.

The US did force Vietnam to pay back loans taken by the Republic of Vietnam in the 1990s as a stipulation for Vietnam to enter the "normal" economic community, which is exploitative and hosed up, but you can point that out without lying about what the payments were for and saying they were paying for bombs.

hosed up to assume that the Vietnamese are a bunch of feckless liars who pay America for bombing them, but assume what you will about the Vietnamese government.

It's entirely possible to hate the US for a variety of reasons without denigrating the Vietnamese leadership so hard.

due process for military court at like, the very least. is there no one in the Ukrainian government who sees a big problem with murdering lots of people consequence-free? won't this have big long-term ramifications on the relationship between Ukraine and its citizens? i understand that the answer is "no, they don't care." but I don't get how they're prioritizing their goals

due process is a fake idea lmao

any cop in america can kill any random civilian they want and no court will convict them

Also I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it to NHD but Ukraine in the Crossfire is a good source book to understand why the purging of "pro-Russians" might happen.

To a normal person it makes more sense if you explain how the security services have been taken over by fascists and the beliefs that they hold. And what positions really matter in government - cute Z is president, IMF people run finance and Nazis control many of the guns.

I think if you talk to someone outside about Ukraine and say "there are plans to murder teachers who taught Russia approved content to kindergarteners" the first response someone might have is "that can't possibly be true. There must be something that prevents that. It's insane" but that's all I really have to say about it if you're going to be rude

christ almighty

this is such a wild naive thing to say that I am physically stunned

you should spend a solid, full day doing nothing but reading about the history of american intervention in south american conflicts

you will never again question the limits of human depravity in conflict (or what the US will accept from their allies)

I hadn't heard about the amnesty thing, Jesus christ. I've never heard of anything like this happening before. It's probably terrifying to be a ukranian living near the front anyway, but the added risk of being identified as a collaborator and extra judicially killed must be hell on your mental health

You don't need to pay attention to it but Ukraine situation is bad.

Like when Kharkiv happened some Azov guy accidentally posted a video of his group dumping bodies in a mass grave, and then had to backtrack saying it was actually a video he got from a phone of a dead Russian.
