    7:13. My father and I took my Vietnam War veteran grandfather to Washington D.C. several years ago for the first time for him to see the Vietnam War Memorial Wall. He got drafted in 1967 and he got injured by shrapnel from a land mine (in addition to getting shot), so he got sent home and received a Purple Heart. However, 6 of his buddies didn't make it back home, so before the trip he made a list of all of their names and where they were located on the wall. As he found each on the wall, he got very emotional knowing that he managed to come home (though injured), get married, have 3 sons, and live another 50 years, but 6 of his friends didn't.

      That poor guy. His poor buddies. Invading another people's homeland who never did anything to them and massacring them in their millions...
      I know they got drafted but that defence is exactly the same as the nazis famously saying 'I was just following orders' at the nuremberg trials.

      My grandfather served in the air force during Korea. He never saw combat but was incredibly disillusioned and bitter towards the government. Many of his friends got drafted and died fighting in wars that were more about economic intrests rather then fighting for freedom as many people like to think. Not to mention the way americans who were left leaning or comunists were treated.

      My dad was in the USCG in WW2. At some point his class at motor machinists mates school was arbitrary split in half, A-L went to convoy escorts and M-Z were assigned to landing craft. A lot more of the landing craft crews didn’t come home. 😳. War is arbitrary and capricious

    Nikita Khrushchev didn’t come into power until 1955. Georgy Malenkov became the new general secretary of the Soviet Union after Stalin died from 1953 to 1955. In February 1955, Malenkov was forced to step down after he came under attack for abuse of power and his close connection to Lavrentiy Beria (who was head of the NKVD and had been executed as a traitor in December 1953). He was held responsible for the slow pace of reforms, particularly when it came to rehabilitating political prisoners.

    As someone who's more left leaning on the political spectrum, I just want to make it clear that not all left-wingers and socialists are communists. Just like any other part of politics, the left-wing is a very diverse spectrum with multiple parties seeking to achieve socialism in different ways

    8:09. You know, Richard Nixon actually committed an act of treason during the Vietnam War. While Nixon was running for President in 1968, President Lyndon Johnson wanted to begin new peace talks between the North and South to try to end the war within the next year or 2 (and some believe that this could have worked had Vice President Hubert Humphrey won in 1968). However, Nixon secretly contacted the leaders of both sides in Vietnam and basically told them to not make any deal with Johnson and wait until after the election, because if Nixon won he promised to provide both with a better deal which (unknown to the public at the time) was his "secret plan" as he called it. According to the U.S. Constitution, Treason (which is the ONLY crime fully defined within the document) is providing aid or comfort to an enemy that we are fighting during a time of war. And even when President Johnson called Nixon to confront him on this, Johnson knew Nixon was obviously lying when Nixon said that he wasn't preventing Johnson's new peace talks from happening, but Johnson couldn't do anything about it. So yeah, Richard Nixon committed an actual act of treason but the public didn't know about this potentially damaging piece of evidence that could hurt him as President and the United States when they had voted for him in 1968, and it's thanks to this action by Nixon that the Vietnam War lasted an additional 5 years and costs thousands more American lives.

    13:30-13:39 that could 've been the Pig Pong diplomacy between the United States and China in 1971 when the American and Chinese ping pong teams battled out with each other as a symbol of good will between two enemies. 1971 was also the year that Communist was admitted into the United Nations an admission the U.S. whole-heartedly voted for. But it came at a price, Taiwan, the Republic of China, was kicked out. Also in 1971 National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger met with Chairman Mao Tse-tung for secret talks. This was a prelude to Nixon's historic visit to Communist China. Incidentally, Mao was an avid ping pong player.

    The USSR didn't place missiles in Cuba to pressure the U.S on Berlin. Its well documented that Krushchev put the missiles in Cuba both to protect Cuba from an invasion and to counter the Jupiter missiles in Turkey. I think you could explore this crisis in a video of its own.

    The 1983 movie The Day After is said to be the movie that helped end the Cold War. I also found out that in Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War, Raul Menendez’s cartel had connections with the Soviet spy ring known as as Perseus, & Imran Zakhaev from the Modern Warfare games was a member of Perseus. After the Soviet Union fell, Zakhaev went on to become an arms dealer just like Menendez, & the leader of Russian ultranationalist rebels who wanted to restore the Soviet regime in Call of Duty’s first Modern Warfare game, & I can imagine that Zakhaev’s ultranationalists had connections with Menendez.

    Your new video on the Cold War is not much different than the original one You didn't give us much new information. In your old video you could've gone into more detail about the Soviet invasions of Hungary and Czechoslovakia as well as the Solidarity labor movement in Poland in the early 1980's which almost prompted the Soviets from invading if they weren't so bogged down in Afghanistan. As far as Vietnam War, you could've gone into some more detail of the anti-war movement in the United States. (Many opponents of the war were leftists and even communists.) As well the Sino-Soviet split in the 1960's which led to a border clash between the two countries in 1969. You could've also discussed the war in Central America in the 1980's between the Sandhinistas and Contras in Nicaragua

    Quite frankly all latinamerican socialist nations were not marxist at all but considered communist by america especially after putting pressure on cuba and cutting them off. Cuba just moved to the side of ussr for support otherwise their regime didnt last meanwhile the leader of cuba converted to communism but he still held all power not the communist party but his own party of followers and trusted people. Likewise in chile a socialdemocratic regime was founded and voted upon by its people but due to nationalization and both ussr and usa funding nationalist and communist parties against each other. The right front launched a coup and beat the left front and persecuted the left and the indigenous people groups. At the same time both USA and USSR pressured to hard on their own backyards and made nations close to them refuse to help out.
