  1.  @MD97531  per capita the Germans lost more soldiers than the Russians. The Soviet lost twice as many soldiers but their army was 34 million men and women

  2.  @ShubhamMishrabro  yes they did that does not mean they didn’t lose battles badly . Typhoon on Sept. 30 , ‘ 41 the Germans killed wounded or captured half a million Russians. Of the 200,000 strong Das Riech elite SS troops of Typhoon suffered 50,000 casualties lost many hundreds of Tanks ,Trucks , Horses on the open road to Moscow . The Luftwaffe got shot to hell over Moscow . A 25% casualty rate was unsustainable for the Germans the Russians could absorb a 50 % rate. Whose capital was turned into rubble?

  4. The State Department estimated 1/10 of the foreign aid sent to shek actually got thru to its intended purposes because of corruption.

  5.  @scottweisel3640  absolutely the Europeans and Americans were all over China

  6.  @pnkemp  perspective and context

  7.  @pnkemp  the whole entire Civil War was fought between Mao’s forces who were advocating for a break from western imperialism and Shek who was in the pocket of western imperialist .

  9. @ avoiding Nationalism and the role of the expulsion of colonialist from China played in Chinese Civil War makes it seem like you have a extra chromosome. Nobody wants to be under a foreigners boot except you and your friends

  10.  @udhessi3444  nothing spells ineptitude like believing that Nationalism didn’t drive Mao’s success in the Chinese Civil War

  11. @ I am sure you avoid any mention of Imperialism the same way you avoid the topic of racism . You have that luxury

  12.  @udhessi3444  ad hominem attacks mean nothing . If you don’t get that communist revolutions were inspired by imperialism get yourself checked out you may have an extra chromosome. The old Air Force pilots used to say that you know you are right on target when they are throwing up heavy flak

  13. @uhessi3444 you are confusing empty proclamations with pointing out something. You haven’t pointed to anything except your own self righteousness . The 20th of April must be your favorite day !

  14. @udhessi3444 you’d have thought that 1945 would have taught you a lesson . Some people just can’t learn it’s so sad
    1
  15.  @udhessi3444  it’s far from wishy washing . The Spaniards killed 5 million people in one mine in Bolivia. The British killed 300,000 Kenyans in 1955 in concentration camps for the crime of self determination. You just can’t handle the truth .

  16.  @udhessi3444  if you get your way absolutely

  17. @udhessi3444 check the numbers on the West Bank lately . How is it Stalin in Ukraine is a horror and Putin in Ukraine is justified ?
    1
  18. @udhessi3444 you have no idea what’s happening on the West Bank . Israel was founded and is funded by Western European Powers. Colonialism is a world wide thing genius read a book that isn’t about your struggle .

  19. @udhessi3444very noble of you to accept defeat

  20. This woman obviously works for the CIA . Mao is a national hero in China to imply otherwise is ludicrous. This isn’t history it’s red meat tailored to western audiences to demonize and vilify Mao . She’s telling you what you want to hear
    1
  21. Like most pseudo intellectuals she takes a tiny truth the expounds on it to encompass the entirely of her reasoning leaving out all the details that don’t align with her politics. Japan and Germany both had extraordinary amounts of money poured into them while Iraq and Afghanistan were treated as colonial conquests that created a boondoggle of corruption for American contractors.

  22. @ the only bias that’s happening is the confirmation bias loop running in this poor woman’s head
    1
  23.  @ron88303  her bona fides are telling you what you want to hear . 👂 Like all pseudo intellectuals she tells a tiny bit of the truth devoid of all perspective and expands on it into some sort of totality.
    1
  24.  @ron88303  you are proclaiming the classic appeal to authority logical fallacy
    1
  25.  @ron88303  google “What is an Appeal to Authority fallacy “ I am not your secretary.

  26. @ once again you proclaim the appeal to authority fallacy . You are very misinformed just because someone is in a position of authority that does not mean they are right .
    1
  27.  @SDCLFC1  she can’t talk about China’s massive growth because it does not align with her political agenda
    1
  28. The over sell on the strength of the Soviets was one of the biggest intelligence failures in history
    1
  29. @khanht5 she tells only very partial truths at best . She clearly doesn’t have any issue with the US waging a genocidal war in Vietnam killing 2 million people by dropping million of tons of bombs .

  30. Western European colonialism always appeals to sadist . Over the course of 300 years the Western Europeans murdered 300 million people . This strange lady needs to take a look at her own people.
    1
  31. 300 million people died at the hands of Western European colonialism. That never bothered you ? Weird
    1
  32.  @tommytells370  it’s a valid question. Why are the horrors of Mao and Stalin talked about ad nauseam while the horror of Western European colonialism is never even mentioned in passing ? Weird right . You never said it exactly my point .
    1
  33. @ clearly any perspective on any issue escapes you . There is no point in talking about Mao of China for that matter unless it’s done thru the lense of colonialism .
    1
  34. @ it’s impossible to look at communism without understanding the context of colonialism. I am not saying you or the media or the university system think that colonialism was good . I think you’d rather just not discuss it and pretend it didn’t happen. The University System and the Media drone on incessantly decade after decade about the horrors of Mao and Stalin. There are very few if any that discuss colonialism. This is about the vilification and Demonization of Mao and Stalin who didn’t do anything that the British weren’t doing well into the 1980’s .

  35. @ Hong Kong was not a Colony? Macau was not a colony ? The Japanese did not attempt to colonize China? Imperialist influence is nothing but colonialism’s younger brother. China was not fully colonized for sure that does not mean that the Communist didn’t emphasize that colonial conquest would be exactly what was in store for you if you supported the KMT and Chaing Kai-Shek . What to you think the century of shame is referring to? It’s impossible to talk about the Chinese revolution without the perspective of Imperialist influence if that makes you happy . What are you even talking about go to any book store attend any university there are tons of books and lectures on the Horrors of Mao and Stalin . A hand full if that that glancingly cover the 300 million people that died from colonialism

  36. @ absolutely that’s my point
    1
  37. She won’t ever touch the amount of corruption involved with the US military contracting the war effort in Afghanistan to private companies. There is a reason for that and it’s not because she does not know about it
    1
  38. There was debilitating corruption on the the part of the United States . So much of the war Afghanistan was contracted out the US government gave money away to contractors with no oversight whatsoever and everything was faulty and nothing worked
    1
  39. what she’s ignoring or is ignorant of is the massive corruption that the United States engaged in . Most of the rebuilding in Iraq and Afghanistan was contracted out to private companies rife with corruption.

  40.  @rd9102  she’s terrible she tells a fraction of the truth and presents as the big picture
    1
  41.  @rd9102  colonialism is missing from all her takes she talks about Mao with zero reference to how much the revolution was about removing every foreigner from China to free itself from Western European imperialism. shek was swimming in imperialist corruption.

  42. @ that’s because her lectures are a charade a smoke screen a white sheet placed over her students eyes, ears and minds to obscure racism and ensure its existence into the future . The British in India murdered 60 million people on the plantations. The British extracted 47 trillion pounds of goods out of India . They destroyed the Indian economy taking it from the 6th largest in the world to 20th . Womens hands were smashed with hammers to prevent them from weaving cotton in order to corner the textile market. India was starved by the British by converting lands away from food production to cash crops . After a hundred years of servitude and exploitation the British expected the Indians to thank them for a colonial education and civilizing . After both world wars great debates happened between world powers with the US running pressure campaigns to get Western European powers to give up their colonies in which they doggedly refused to do so . To lecture about Asian history devoid of colonialism is a strategy not a mistake .

  43.  @rd9102  my responses are shadow banned
    1
  44.  @rd9102  you specifically said there wasn’t much say about colonialism and I just said a whole lot about it . At this point you are simply just rationalizing the only history you can even hear is the history that reenforces your own confirmation bias . This woman isn’t teaching you history she is crafting boogeyman to vilify anyone as evil who dares to question Western Supremacy over their own countries affairs.

  45.  @rd9102  “People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones “. “Let the man without sin cast the first stone”. The West has forgotten everything their good book says except the pro-slavery stuff of course .

  46.  @rd9102  are you?

  47. @ irrelevant to you . I assure you there was nothing irrelevant about colonialism in China or India or anywhere else for that matter to the people on the receiving end of the lash . You think in a vacuum

  48. @ the oppressor will always run from their sins and simply point fingers .

  49. @ your so far up in your “Feelings” that you’ve completely divorced yourself from reality.

  50. @ do you consider Western European colonialism and capitalism a success irregardless of the 300 million people that were murdered in the mines and plantations around the world to uphold that system? Do you consider Christianity a success in spite of the fact it was used as a rational to enslave and murder hundreds of millions? In 1955 300,000 Kenyans died in concentration camps at the hands of the British for the crime of wanting freedom and self rule for their own people . Do you judge the British for this crime in the same way you judge Mao ? Ask yourself why? I would surmise that you believe the western systems are a success . I know the Chinese consider Mao a hero . One man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist
