MAD World - The History of the Cold War | Episode 7: Warmonger | Free Documentary History

[@FreeDocumentaryHistory]

In this episode: In the 1980s, the US continues its mission to halt the spread of communism. A socialist leader takes over the Caribbean island of Grenada in 1983, Ronald Reagan sends in the Marines overnight. In Nicaragua rebel 'Sandinistas' fight the 'Contra' guerillas. In 1987, Reagan announces a new arms program dubbed ‘Star Wars’. Mikhail Gorbachev, the new president of the USSR, attempts to end the Cold War. '

The war was fought because we were brainwashed like children to fear socialism like the bogeyman.

[@dritemolawzbks8574]

American foreign policy, intelligence operations, and military interventions have always been motivated primarily by US business and foreign interest. The US is no different from any other liberal democracy in the West that promotes international human rights. Just because the US offers support for democratic principles and appears to have a hypocritical foreign policy stance, it doesn't give other countries a license to emulate the US. Given its status as a global military and economic superpower and large number of allies, America might be able to get away with acts that another country could be sanctioned for attempting.

[@t.l.1610]

Not just Western Democracies. It’s all major powers, let’s be honest here. Look at the human rights records of Russia and the USSR. On par with the US for sure. I think we can say NO real focus on human rights exists. Only when convenient.

Hey people I was in Central America when the war was going down and speaking the truth, I never ever saw any drugs being passed back and forth. And as far as Marine Corps Lt. Col. Oliver North is concerned, he was the best damned commanding officer I ever had and I would still follow him to hell and back if he ordered it.

[@manleynelson9419]

Well it's been established in courts and other evidentiary platforms that there was certainly drugs for guns and weapons. That's not debatable

[@Solrac1424]

Then you'll be burning there alongside Oliver north

[@anaeusrex2014]

Well, you didn't see it, so it never happened. That's that everybody. If Bill didn't see it, beteer forget it, because it's not real.
