Скачать или смотреть Kissinger upset - US bombing in Vietnam compared to Nazi war crimes

In a Christmas speech in 1972, Swedish prime minister Olof Palme harshly criticized the heavy bombing of Hanoi, Hai Phong and North Vietnam (Operation Linebacker II during the Vietnam war) that the United States, led by Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger, was carrying out.

In the short but powerful speech, Palme equated the bombings with several famous massacres and war crimes like Franco's bombing of Guernica, the Nazi massacre of civilians in the French village Oradour-sur-Glane and the industrial murder in the concentration camp Treblinka.

Apart from the speech, I've included Kissinger talking about the very whiny American response, where they withdrew their ambassador because they felt Sweden was "insensitive" to their "problems".

This video is a bit different for this channel, but I've decided to put it up to celebrate the recent events regarding Kissinger. Olof Palme wasn't always a based politician, but in foreign affairs events like this one, he did great.

On this channel, I (normally) translate and upload Swedish socialist and communist music (most of it from the 1970s), including worker songs, anti-capitalist songs and songs about Vietnam. Subscribe to support the channel and to not miss any of the upcoming songs!
