I've been slowly working through Season 3 of Blowback and every single episode leaves me thinking "what the fuck" (hexbear.net)

You can repeat "US imperialism bad" as much as you want but learning the play by play is just absolutely mind blowing. Its always so much worse than you could initially imagine.

Blowback is a treasure. All three seasons merit multiple listens.

As to S3 If people in the us realized that we bombed North Korea to an extent that people were reduced to living in caves they might be a little more introspective on why they view us the way they do. Hence why Korea is the “forgotten war”

Also, Chairman Mao man. What a heart.

And even after the US blew up literally all of their infrastructure, it still wasn't enough. McArthur wanted to nuke the DPRK and China. It's insane.

It's an unbelievable miracle that the SAC and the insane Army generals were somehow kept in check and prevented from slinging nukes around. People have no idea how totally psychotically bloodthirsty they were.

Dr. Strangelove is only partially fictional.
