Yeah, the IOF showed unusual restraint. Must be newbies. To be clear, restraint SHOULD be the norm, but the IOF are evil, so this was surprising by THEIR standards.

Maybe, though I’m not sure that’s stopped them before

There was never a massacre in or surrounding Tiananmen Square. There was a group of violent terrorists who threw Molotov cocktails onto PLA troop transports in the heart of the capital, under martial law, under curfew and there was a panic among relatively green troops who reacted to seeing their comrades immolated.

The PLA is so nice an entire armored column stopped for tank man. He climbed on top the tank. He opened the hatch. He chatted with the soldiers. Took his sweet time. Got down, and walked away to go out up his groceries. lol

The west lies ceaselessly about tank man. The PLA treated tank man better than the Israelis treat their own people.

Watching the full video of tank man is always a fun way to dispel the myth lol

Do you by chance have a link to it that isn’t mostly talking heads constantly interrupting the footage?  If so I’d love to see it.

Context? Where is this,and what happened to China's "tank man"? No disrespect intended, just curious

The riots were stopped on June 4th, 1989. Tank man incident happened on June 5th, and it was around 13:00 based on the shadows.

From the picture, you can see the tanks were headed east, away from the Square on Changan Street. So, tank man was trying to stop the tanks from leaving.

At this vantage point from the Beijing Hotel, Tiananmen Square and People Great Hall Building are clearly visible, and many foreign journalists stayed in this hotel during the riots. Why aren't videos of the violence from the day before made publicly known as tank man video? Because, most of the dead were soldiers, and it wouldn't look good for "peaceful protesters" narrative.

The USA every year on the anniversary make a big deal for China on mainstream media... And it's kinda symbol for freedom and that shit that they like to spread... Anyway I hope this kind of scenes will the same treatment by media as the tank man does... Because as other says that guy got away alive(tank man) and on the Palestinian side not many can tell about something like this.

They ain't get out and merc him because he's an unafraid confident man, rather than a crying child or woman. They were scared out of their minds. 😂

Don’t give the Zionists more fuel than they pretend to have.

u/cochorol Sep 26 '24

You know out of frustration that kind of hate is valid imo, Zionist are giving us enough to think that way... They are victims anymore and we can see that everyday from now on.

I guess I’m worried people will take that last paragraph out of context

We can't unseen what the most moral army in the world is showing to us... It's simply not possible.

Barely made a dent? They cut the population of Jews in half. It took decades for the Jewish population to return to pre holocaust levels, and culturally, most areas never recovered. Europe will in all likelihood never have a significant Jewish population again

u/MichealRyder Sep 26 '24

Then say Zionists instead of Jews, don’t forget that Jews are victims of them too

What the fuck are you talking about? 6 million dead from 15 million is slightly more than 1/3. Do you think alll white people are Jewish or have you just never completed an education past first grade?
