Without getting very philosophical about it, it was all actually quite very simple. An Asian people wanted their independence from a colonial power and fought hard for it. The colonial powers divided it's society to create vested interests to support their agendas. However, the colonialists eventually lost interest and willpower and withdrew, leaving their artificially propped vestiges to collapse, taking a handful of their collaborators with them and leaving behind a wasteland of humanity and ecology. Thankfully, the land is different now and renewed with hope all over again. I've visited twice in 2017 and 2020. The youth no longer remember the American war. Wounds have healed, and society is upwardly mobile with aspirations. It is one of the safest countries in Southeast Asia with good human development index markers. They made it despite facing the worst of the Western colonial horrors. 👏 It's a remarkable journey of hope and resilience, and one that no amount of vietnam revisionist bile now so fashionable in America can wash away.

Those dancers at ca 12 minutes are not girls, they're pre-puberty boys. Taylor doesn't say, prob. in order to sanitise the Bedu. Perhaps, though, no-one told him. These young effeminate dancers are quite popular with older Bedu men.. Happens in Afghanistan too.

Low morale, lots of GIs developed serious drug addictions. Uncle Sam sent them to an island off the Vietnamese coast to try to dry them out. Often they were not sent back to the states, but to Europe. So there were barracks and buildings in Germany filled with drug addled useless soldiers.

That quote you read doesn’t reveal, define Ethiopia. They were never asleep but instead doing what they knew to do best- happy cheerful about their life. United.

That was our golden time and still reflects who we Nepalese are today. Such a deep and archeological cover of ancient Kathmandu which is struggling to change by the newly appointed Mayer Balen Shah presently. No such surprise i will be curious checking every one of this delicate miniature wood crafts in my next visit to the Capital @22:07 . I enjoyed your 50 minutes. Always proud Nepalese from 2024.

What was it all for? Nothing, absolutely nothing. So much pain, so much sorrow, and there was no point to it. Kind of like Iraq.
