Malayan Emergency thread

Why does no one ever talk about this war? Is it because the Brits were subhuman savages that perpetrated war crimes worse than ISIS?

>tfw the British faced an insurgency identical to the vietnam war in the Malayan Emergency but managed to suppress it with only 50,000 soldiers using tactics like forced relocations, torture, concentration camps and pic related

Are Brits smarter than Americans or just more evil?

No, they just had a native population who preferred the brits to chink fucking shits.

it's funny that the rubber industry lobbied the UK to call it an emergency and not a war, their lloyds insurance policy wouldn't have paid out if war was officially declared

>identical
>no go chi Minh trail
>the insurgency was racially and culturally isolated
>on an island

British nigger you are a ameribuger goy now. Kiss my feet you Muslim faggot. A completely irrelevant American colony, hell brexit was even memed mostly by Americans you loser

>insurgency identical to the vietnam war

Well, apart from the insurgents being an ethnic minority with no foreign support, and the insurgency being literally less than 1% of the size.

>on an island

american education pls no
i wish this meme wasn't true

the ratio of insurgents to americans/brits is roughly 10:1 respectively in both wars

it was the length of the border that really swung the war, they were identical in many respects and very influential on american strategy in vietnam, they even pioneered agent orange

Fug i got mixed up with Indonesia for a second. But what about the part with Brunei and shit or was that after? Also that peninsula is practically an island

>this delusion
brits wouldnt be so nasty to you if you werent so eternally butthurt over your colonial past

we have a million reasons to get on well with each other, you seem to think we give a shit but it's just cultural insecurity
