Pretty much universally agreed positive events in history

The vietnamese might not have had good intentions, but their consequences were.

Really, the entire region stayed ruined until the 90s.

Blame the Chinese for being absolute cunts.

A war where the US supported Khmer Rouge against Vietnam.

>We have to stop the domino theory spreading communism
>We have to protect the Cambodian communists
wtf was America's problem?

fall of soviet union

it was the perfect holiday resort

americans were still bitter about getting btfo by gooks in Vietnam war

1453

I wasn't aware America had any alleged involvement in this war. Meme about American education all you want, but this is a moderately obscure tidbit, so fuck you.

The US has done shitty things, but color me fucking shocked that we actually came down in support of the fucking Khmer Rouge. History may not have any good guys, but they were damn fucking sure the bad guys.

>Positive
>Blame the Chinese for being absolute cunts.

The Vietnamese built the Khmer Rouge to begin with.

>"The history of the communist movement in Cambodia can be divided into six phases: the emergence of the Indochinese Communist Party (ICP), whose members were almost exclusively Vietnamese, before World War II; the 10-year struggle for independence from the French, when a separate Cambodian communist party, the Kampuchean (or Khmer) People's Revolutionary Party (KPRP), was established under Vietnamese auspices; the period following the Second Party Congress of the KPRP in 1960, when Saloth Sar (Pol Pot after 1976) and other future Khmer Rouge leaders gained control of its apparatus; the revolutionary struggle from the initiation of the Khmer Rouge insurgency in 1967–68 to the fall of the Lon Nol government in April 1975; the Democratic Kampuchea regime, from April 1975 to January 1979; and the period following the Third Party Congress of the KPRP in January 1979, when Hanoi effectively assumed control over Cambodia's government and communist party."

There's a reason why Cambodia hates Vietnam to the point that they are China's shills in the ASEAN

Memes about Noam Chomsky supporting the Khmer Rouge chalked up to lack of information on the subject. Bohemians of the day supported Maoism, the Khmer Rouge, and other exotic pet political philosophies precisely due to their exotic and countercultural nature brought about from a lack of information on these subjects and their horrors.

Geopolitics with a disregard for nuance was the game of American foreign endeavors.

>until the 90s
it's still happening, just this time in myanmar

...

Myanmar's internal struggles are the result of batshit nationalism of all parties involved.

Ironically KMT China contributed more to the Chaos than PRC China during the KMT in Burma episode when a KMT army seized an entire province (the Shan).

why didn't Iran join?

Iran was secular at the time and didn't give a crap about arab butthurt

...

Vietnam would absolutely have dominated Indochina without US supporting an insurgency thorn in their side. Guess they didn't want the insurgency to spread into Thailand. Or they were bitter.

First Gulf War (that is, US liberation of Kuwait) is pretty much considered a necessary good war by well, anyone who isn't from Iraq.

Iran was ruled by a Western puppet dictator would've gotten CIA'd if he tried to mess with America's overlord.

Nah, not really. Gulf Arab monarchies are the worst countries on the planet.

...

Idi Amin was a nutjob so this was pretty good.

...

...

it's like another nakba!

I wouldn't say the war was a good thing, but it's still fucking hilarious.

Why can't these two just live in one fucking country?

They tried, but the sandnigs sperged out that the country would be called israel

UN tried that, Arabs rejected it, and Israel became even bigger in the ensuing Mohammedan chimpout

Because the purpose of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict isn't to achieve anything for the Palestinians, it's to provide money and authority for the people who run it, and to keep Israel around as a scapegoat for Muslim governments to use to deflect their own failures.

The worst thing that could happen to the Arabs would be if they got what they wanted and they could no longer blame an external enemy for their dysfunction.

As long as this is the case, the Palestinians will do everything in their power to prevent the conflict from ending and to portray Israel or the US as the aggressor.

Only kinda related, but who the fuck decided this partition? Was this based of where most Palestinians lived already at the time?

There were tons of Jews and Arabs in the area as it was, British made a rough partition with UN backing (but not US interestingly enough) that was based on the main population zones

Palestinians actually got the best land in the initial plan, the majority of Jewish land was the barren Negev desert while the Arabs got the vertile West Bank & Jordan River valley

Jerusalem was going to be an international city

Arabs rejected the agreement and invaded, and as a result Israel became larger than the partition intended. In the ensuing population expulsions 700,000 Arabs went to neighboring arab states and 800,000 Jews were expelled from Arab states into Israel. Nasser provoked the six day war and Israel got golan heights/sinai/jerusalem.

Wow, that just makes the Palestinians seem like sore losers. I'm assuming neither side would agree to a one-state solution either?

Realistically, either a one-state solution or two-state solution will end with the Palestinians using their newly gained power to bomb more Jews.

Imagine if the filth of Europe came to your country after getting turned into soap, took half of you land, because some dead kike used to live there 2000 years ago, and then started to spout bullshit about peace while slowly settling and taking over the rest of it while pretending to give a damn about peace. You would start thinking Hitler had a point.

If you're too weak to fight off a bunch of terrorists from taking over half your country, do you really deserve to have a country?

I really hope Iran succeeds in getting a nuke and vaporizes the hook nosed scum out of existence. The world needs less kikes in this world.

>"those fucking kikes and americans ruin everything!"
>*bombs mosque for worshipping muhammed in a slightly different way

At least your honest enough to admit legal claim doesn't mean shit and that Might makes Right.

In reality they bomb mosques for being on the wrong side of the Israel-Iran divide.

>MEMRI IS PROPAGANDA! ISLAM IS RELIGION OF PEACE! #NOTALLMUSLIMS
lmao, fucking pathetic shitskin lovers

cry more ahmed

this is literally how all nations are founded. Arabs got their teeth kicked in 10 times, they've now resorted to crying at the UN to try to get what they want.

Iran can't even stop women from protesting hijabs atm. I think your precious ayatollahs are worrying about other things atm than trying to get nuked by the Jews

I hope Iran tries that shit too, be fun to see your precious mudslimes get vaporized

Oh don't worry kikestein. Iran will deal with your CIA regime change niggers. Take your advice and worry about Hezbollah. I hear they been getting all kinds of new toys to use on merchants.

>A war where the US supported Khmer Rouge against Vietnam.
"Allegedly"

>mighty hezbollah needed to be bailed out by Russia against syrian farmers with AK's

rly activates my almonds there, mahmoud

everyone in your precious shithole Iran is a nigger, and you are too for obviously being a mudslime.

so fuck off subhumane

Reminder that jerusalem isn't muslim and never will be

fuck off back to your islamic shithole and stop infecting the west

I live in Moldova. It most certainly was not for us.

Most of the Shia/Sunni split is political (Iran vs. Saudis) not religious

lmao, sunni and shia's have been murdering each other for millennia

I see you /mu/

Criminally underrated post.

You dont know that. Hamas has been peaceful for years and they would have no reason to initiate conflict after they are given what they want. not only that but UN pressure wouldnt allow it

It was mostley a british attempt to drive a spike through the arab wkrld and prevent the emergence of any kind of unified arabic state in the region

>Vietnam would absolutely have dominated Indochina
Is there really any downsides to this, Vietnam is the only viable nation in the area with geography that doesn't hinder it's ability to grow

Laos collapsed and is basically a jungle nation, weak and poor, with no justification for it's existence.
Cambodia is just poor and miserable.
Vietnam didn't get raped by communism so today its a moderate regional power with a growing non-collapsed economy

If Vietnam took over the area, the Cambodians and Laos would greatly thrive under them
