IloveyouMF@lemmy.worldOPto A Comm for Historymemes@lemmy.world•Which of these countries did NOT arm Apartheid South Africa ? I would assume you are a big boy and recognize the flags, Sorry for the weird flag formatting I made this on my phone .English22·před 16 hodinamiNone of you got the meme so I will explain it.
The correct answer is the United States of America.
The whole point is that The USA seems to be the least likely as America especially in the cold war was a racist capitalist country so you would think they would love the racist capitalism of apartheid SA but no actually.
Israel with their never again mantra you would think would oppose the White nationalism of SA but their arms partnership of the apartheid government is very well known especially with the nukes.
The Soviet Union and China. That is surprising but no these countries did actually do arms trade with South Africa. The Soviet Union worked with SA for jet engine development and had this complicated scene with SA, the GDR and South America to get guns to them that were on paper sold to other countries. De beers actually had permits to sell Siberian diamonds since they had gotten so good at diamond smuggling. Same with China.
The joke is that everyone will pick either the Soviet Union or China and think the USA armed Apartheid South Africa but no they are the one country on the list to not do so

What existed in the West was ARPANET (1969), which evolved into NSFNET in the mid-1980s the backbone of what would become the internet.

IloveyouMF@lemmy.worldOPto politics @lemmy.world•Dozens of US warplanes are on their way to the Middle East immediately after Trump's speech54·před 20 hodinamiMarco rubio said the us would not enter the war but trump is implying that he was behind the trikes and it’s punishment for iran not agreeing to a deal.
Remember when his supporters were anti war and made a big deal about ukraine and how ukraine costed to much and would risk nuclear war ?
Trump tore up the nuclear deal saying he would have a better one, there is no better one he endedu p basically going back to the origina ldeal because iran said no because the ycan’t trust him
the idea that trump is the master of deals might be one of his dumbest lies and that is saying a lot

also Huffman is very anti Trump
Reddit is way more progressive then say X but even more progressive then mainstream platforms like Instagram,Tiktok and Youtube.

Yeh that is the gag.
A similar meme is “Saddam Hussain had WMDs”
This is obejcitevly correct, at ne point Saddam Hussain did possess WMDs. Sarin and Antrhax which are WMDs as per the Geneva convention during the iran iraq war, but by 2003 he had no active program or stock pile
