I still remember seeing all the neo-nazism and Ukraine reports as much as this asshole part of the world wants to keep it hidden.
not that anyone asked
I've seen gaslighting trying to say this wasn't on the VHS release but I have a memory of seeing it. I know I saw it. it's not a retcon photoshoop
it seems like this should be easily verifiable.
The original dedication was "to the gallant people of Afghanistan", as reported by reviews of the original theatrical release.
right but we are discussing the VHS home release, not the theatrical release
The home release dedication remained the same.
The fallibility of our own memories is a fascinating subject.
Guess it’s been deboonked and is only spiritually true
NATOpedia claims that the "brave Mujahideen fighters" part is an urban legend, that the dedication was always and only just to the "gallant people of Afghanistan" as Carl said. But they specifically only mention the theatrical version, not VHS. I for sure without question did see a video a few years back of someone recording their TV while playing the VHS with the "brave Mujahideen" script visible at the end, but I can't rule out that it might have been an edited video.
It would be cool if someone really could confirm whether the "Mujahideen" message was there. Not only for the obvious reasons, but also as yet another example of natopedia spreading lies, calling something an urban legend that was real.
Libs seethe every time you tell them the war would never happen if the Soviet Union was still around.
They'd smugly tell you that Ukraine was already part of Russia back then so there was no need, because different republics in the USSR apparently were purely symbolical and were just colonies of Russia. That's the lib point of view on the thing.
I thought I was reading an article from current year and was confused why the war and current figures weren't being mentioned, just history. This piece is so precient. I bet the author has said "told you so" with so much sadness ever since Russia invaded..
Mearsheimer has been banging this drum ever since the Crimean annexation
I just know that there are, like, 8 liberal bin ladens fantasizing about murdering Mearsheimer everyday
It’s so weird how liberals have become the unhinged pro-war hawks of the early 2000s while the conservatives have become the rational ones willing to actually discuss the specifics and oppose zealous jingoism. Like what the fuck did Obama do to the US to scramble everyone’s brains to have the opposite opinions
Libs only need "permission" from the right kind of minority to unleash hell on earth, while conservatives would say anything to gain power.
