The increased deaths from transitory economic issues were tiny compared to the millions deliberately MURDERED by the communist regimes of the USSR and CCP.
True, but by 1989 both the USSR and China had passed beyond the earlier periods of class warfare and revolutionary revenge. Both were attempting to correct the excesses of the past and implement more appropriate governance and economic policies. China clearly chose the more successful path.
That was THE pivotal moment in American history, when GHW Bush sold America down the river. The US easily could have supported the Tianamen freedom fighters, Russia was teetering, Freedom was on the brink of victory. Bush bailed them out, kept the CCP in power as they crushed the patriots. All this, so the Chamber of Commerce and big business could have slave labor to build their products and make them Billionaires instead of just Millionaires.
The Bush dynasty, is the sorriest excuse pre Biden.
I agree.
Elon Musk and the NBA see it differently of course.
