Too many Irish are wearing whiteface.

Discussion is about 65 iq communist blacks attacking whites and you immediately start changing the subject to jews and Israel. That's definitely the behavior of someone who follows the Mexican catboy fuentes

"It’s not easy on the face of mere facts to see why Irish filmmakers would take pride in this event"

- I mean come on BAP..; if the higher estimates of casualties inflicted are accurate, it's a genuinely great military performance. Add the incompetence of the UN higherups, and the Irish blacklisting of the commanding officer for surrendering only after depleting his ammunition and you have all the tragic and heroic elements that made Black Hawk Down a hit; all the lies notwithstanding.

Do you condemn the Russian neo bolshevik invasion of Ukraine?

As others have mentioned, "The Siege of Jadotville" portrays the UN's activities in the Congo generally negatively and portrays O'Brien particularly negatively. It portrays the UN killing civilians and Kantangan forces, led by Falques, responding with a siege. Its a decent film. Worth watching.

"Only a total overturning at the root of all this, in the spirit, in morality and therefore in the aesthetic, prerational and aspirational basis of morality, only an entirely new morality and a new type of human being can arrest and reverse the drifting of mankind toward perpetual existence in the darkness of a “global tenement.”

Amen. We need a new morality and a new man. The path there is slowly starting to appear

I trust this series is part of a book, possibly a re-write of the legacy of the Teheran Conference.

"

The UN’s defeat in this first part of the Congo crisis was recently and fraudulently reinterpreted in the Irish movie The Siege of Jadotville. I haven’t and won’t watch this, but it appears to be marketed as a celebration of the bravery of a troop of Irish UN soldiers facing down the dark forces of “dreg of society” white rapist mercenaries in service to “international corporations” and Darth Vader"

In the film, the mercenaries are portrayed as using the cover of an humanitarian ceasefire to pickup the wounded on the field to launch a perfidious attack on the UN base. Bizarrely enough, they are otherwise portrayed somewhat positively and O'Brien is arguably portrayed most negatively of all. I suppose that's a good example of how good Leftie propaganda works.

'Clearly a film that portrays perfidious mercenaries positively, can't have a hidden agenda...'
