A guy walks into my house and stabs my wife. He starts eating the food out of my refrigerator. I don’t call the police, because I wouldn’t want to provoke him.
Thanks for reducing the complexity of international politics to something I’d expect from a late night TV bizarre true crime documentary. You’ve certainly elevated the debate!
There were protests, undeniable. Initially there were peaceful protests from people who had reservations about Deng’s policies, that the CPC openly engaged with. Li Peng met with these protestors in April. However, the CIA saw the opportunity to forment an uprising and so pushed several student “leaders” into more aggressive actions. “Leaders” who expressed motivations such as wanting China to be controlled by the West.
Even western sources at the time, including ones such as the NYT and Reuters, said that there wasn’t much happening. In the Square itself, there were no casulities. In the entirety of Beijing there were casulties among the PLA, police, and protestors alike. PLA soldiers were unarmed until they were attacked by protestors.
In the square itself the tank (which was leaving the square, not entering) stopped for the infamous tank man, who then…walked away unharmed. Do you think that would happen in many other countries? Considering we see US police charging full speed through protestors, I certainly don’t.
Your are poorly mistaken. There are plenty of gorey pictures and videos of lots of dead and dying protesters in Tiennemen Square from that day. Thousands were killed according to many witnesses.
It’s OK guys, America isn’t provoking a war or anything like that.
Just tell, has a war EVER started because America was sending troops and building military bases where they shouldn’t?
