NATO is the good guys?

In 1999, with support of Libs, Greens and many leftists, they bombed Serbian cities and civilians for 77 days.

Biden's the good guy?

In 2009, he called Hashim Thaçi, the "George Washington of Kosovo." Thaçi is now on trial as a War Criminal.

Today in Labor History March 14, 1978: Israel Defense Forces launched Operation Litani, a seven-day invasion and occupation of southern Lebanon. They were retaliating for the Coastal Road massacre, near Tel Aviv, by Lebanon-based Palestinian militants. Up to 2,000 Lebanese and Palestinian fighters and civilians died, as did 20 Israeli soldiers. The conflict displaced 250,000 Lebanese civilians. The United Nations Security Council adopted 2 resolutions calling on Israel to immediately withdraw from Lebanon.

Today in Labor History February 19, 1927: A General Strike occurred in Shanghai. In March, Communist union workers launched an uprising in Shanghai. However, the Kuomintang quashed the rebellion, slaughtering 5,000-10,000 in the Shanghai Massacre. In the 1940s, the Kuomintang were driven out of mainland China by the Communists, retreating to Taiwan, where they maintained a brutal dictatorship until the 1980s. By many accounts, the Kuomintang rule in Taiwan was even more corrupt and brutal than the Japanese dictatorship that preceded it. In 1947, they slaughtered tens of thousands in the February 28 Incident.

Today in Labor History February 13, 1945: 25,000 civilians died when the Allies firebombed Dresden. In a three-day period, they dropped 3,900 tons of explosives and incendiaries, reducing six square miles of the city to rubble. Kurt Vonnegut was a prisoner of war in Dresden during the bombing. He wrote about it in his novel, “Slaughterhouse-Five.”
