I mean, Hitler wrote a book about how he would rid the European continent of the jewish people. It really wasn't that big secret.

He also told us that he had read the document himself in which all future disabled German war vets were ordered to be gassed upon the war's conclusion. Nazi Germany crunched the numbers and decided they would have an untenable social welfare and medical system and that 400,000 Wehrmacht/Heer vets were to be "euthanized" once combat operations were over.

Wouldn't it be lot easier to just leave them untreated?

I remember hearing and reading some info about that when Soviet Union was nearing its end some intelligence people devised a plan how system could continue by ditching communism and becoming nationalist authorian state. But I just can't find any info on this at the moment.

Does anybody else remember or know what I am talking about?

There is absolutely no way the Canadians killed less children than the Americans in hosed up schools. I have no idea if it is like 2x more or 10x more but it's definitely more.

But don't Canadians like really, really, really hate their native people?

lol, these priests were not all ‘friendly father Tim’; the Spanish church was up there with the Irish one as a horror show, and they were huge fans of the fasch.

That might be true, but I think that in war it is more productive to wage war than kill priests.

I'm no history major but I'm pretty sure the US did not impose an embargo on Japan because it wanted to punish the empire for their crimes against the Chinese

So imposing an embargo on a genocidal empire must be done for the pure reasons or it doesn't count?

It was pretty obviously the CIA. Whether they meant for it to happen like this or it was a bungle we'll never know, but there's so much poo poo around them and JFK that it's inarguable at this point.

For what? I'm not saying they didn't do it, I just don't get why'd they kill 1% anticommunist pro industrialist.

I was interpreting colonial war as in a colonial power asserting or reasserting control over a colony

Yes, that's what I meant. Usually colonies gaining their independency from colonial rule is presented as "and then western powers realised that it was time to give up colonialism and that was the end of that", which is hardly the case, no?
