AOC said that, actually, when she said what an “honor” it would be to “lobby” a hard-right warmongering rapist who militarized the cops, criminalized black lives, championed endless war abroad, and unleashed warrantless mass surveillance for a now dead Green New Deal. If she wants to work with hard right lunatics so much, including “good Republicans” (which don’t exist), then she should shut up and do so.

Or she could just read Lenin and realize the point of a socialist in Congress is to throw parliamentary bombs and delegitimize the government in the eyes of the people. But she’s a Kennedy intern lib, and libs love giving Republicans what they want more than fighting for working people.

Glenn’s right.

quote:

The common reason here is that while the Japanese government had surrendered, the population at large still looked up to the emperor. If the emperor was tried for war crimes (which he was loving guilty of) which would most likely result in execution, the population would rebel and taming Japan would be a miserable occupation.

Up to the war's end the Japanese people regarded the emperor as god-like. Any form to defame him was an act of "heresy". To punish him was to give those who would've wanted to fight until death a martyr to rally against.

While the atom bombs did great in instilling fear, the Japanese people were prepared to perform countless Saipans, Iwo Jimas, and Okinawas for their god.

This lesson came to haunt the Americans later into the new millennium when they deposed Saddam Hussein. Without a neck to hold, those who aligned with Saddam simply found a way to fight back. And almost two decades later and a dozen lives lost, we are yet to find an end to the Iraq War.

The only goalposts that are moving the ones by the people who can't have any discussion of Stalin's actions without shoehorning in WW2 to make inexplicable accusations of Nazi-sympathising

Though if being on the right side of World War 2 (reluctantly, after your non-agression pact with the Nazis is betrayed and you're forced into the war flat footed) is enough to cleanse any other sins I'm curious what you guys make of Winston Churchill

u are not arguing anything at all

its all white noise about god knows what

what principles context or historical conclusion are you raising in whatever the hell you are arguing about Stalin?

it's complete gibberish

if the supposed lesson from Japan was that using the atom bombs meant avoiding a bloody invasion, then extending the analogy out to Iraq means... just don't loving invade Iraq!

and it wasn't executing Saddam that causing the insurgency to turn so bad, it was the de-Baathification and the dissolution of the Iraqi Army

I was gonna make a joke about allosaurus, but looking at the etymology of that name actually cleared it up for me. It's just a way to say different/other, presumably an antonym to normie.
