Fake History Porn

Welcome to /c/fakehistoryporn@lemmy.world , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.

The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).

Because the US didn't invade countries that weren't 100% subservient to them

WHAT ?
Oh man, it is the number one "policeman" by far. Here's an example :
Here's a longer list if you're interested : https://github.com/dessalines/essays/blob/master/us_atrocities.md
Here's a source from the congress itself, even if it doesn't include covert/unofficial operations it's still quite lengthy : https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/details?prodcode=R42738
I.d.k., what more proofs do you want ?

And were you still talking about Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary in your last comment ? Because they weren't in the u.s.s.r. but in a military/.. alliance, like n.a.t.o., the e.u., or the c.i.s. Is it because their republics were different than ours ? It'd be another talk then.

You know the list is bs when it starts with China

Why would it be b.s. to start with China ? You do know that they would have recovered Taiwan more than 70 years ago if it wasn't for the american naval forces ?
But whatever, i can't force you to open your eyes, do what you consider to be just, and thanks for reading my comments.

Because they were supporting Chiang Kai-Shek against the Communists, not doing a coup you sicklebrain

[–] Pierre121000@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

This list doesn't only mention coups, but this source mentions 50.000 american soldiers on chinese soil, while that one talks about 100.000.
(And the korean war was the main excuse to prevent them from recovering Taiwan, not the civil war)

Can't "recover" something if you never owned it 🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼

And you may be interested to know what kind of government Taiwanese had until 1987(, as well as Hong-Kong before 1984), or not, i'm just saying. Bye :)
