Like the amount of half truth and ignored nuance in this piece is staggering.

EDIT: It is even more insane when you consider there is an explicit plan by the US intelligence state to break up and balkanize China. Like they aren't even trying to keep it secret.

    I wonder why they might have thought that. It’s not like America had interfered in their Civil War and bombed villages along the Korean border before China entered Korea.

    MacArthur was a very stable genius and would never have initiated a bloody genocide from Pyongyang to Beijing that would make the Japanese blush, given half an opportunity.
