wow you’re so right, I must be duped for siding with anti-colonialist emancipation over genocidal imperialism. Surely it couldn’t be the enlightened centrist, equating the two with ‘both sides bad’ in response to a laundry list of genocidal war crimes
They’re just the Holden Bloodfeast meme, but for China. Not sure there’s another user on Lemmy that has expressed more zeal for the extermination of China.
Given that the major arguement otherwise was that the USA committed gEnOCiDe in Vietnam, probably not.
And look, thr USA committed some crimes in Vietnam, nobody should ever deny that, but Operation Babylift definitely isn’t one of them because the North Vietnamese would have turned these kids into slaves or soldiers, at best they might live a somewhat normal life in an autocracy.
They didn’t bomb the runway until after operation babylift was completed, so your edit is false, although I don’t disagree that at least for roughly 25% of the children who were fathered by Americans, they should have been evacuated. Amerasian children faced extreme discrimination and racism after the war in Vietnam, so much so that eventually America made the Amerasian Homecoming Act.
TBH, good for them. Couldn’t be worse than leaving them in Vietnam after the dictatorship won the civil war.
The genocidal U.S. invasion, bombing and occupation of Vietnam and the surrounding region, killed more than 4 million Vietnamese people and hundreds of thousands of Cambodians and Laotians.
Declassified papers show U.S. atrocities in Vietnam went far beyond My Lai
Lmfao
There weren’t any good sides in Vietnam, Tankie dupe

Anticolonial Leninists?
LMFAO
I think there is quite a wide political spectrum finding your comment distasteful way before we arrive at tankie territory…

Huh, who could disagree with my [support-for-genocide]? Nah, only tankies could have an issue there.

The operation was cut short because the airport was no longer operational, so no.
The final operation babylift flight was on April 26, 1975, and the runway was made non operational on April 29, 1975.
It was the final flight for sure, because they bombed thr shit out of the runway.
Do you vote?
The Vietnamese didn’t.
Great answer!
Ah there it is.
holy shit dude.
hexbear must be leaking
