WHO GOT A HISTORY LESSON AOC or TRUMP



WHO GOT A HISTORY LESSON AOC or TRUMP

Hugo Adan  Feb 19, 2019

Here my view on:


Introduction
AOC main THESIS:  

Trump’s US-Mexico border is not designed to unite Americas (North & South) but to submit & plunder them more deeply (case of oil in Ven) .. Trump wall is designed to separate human beings and block out people who are running away from the humanitarian disasters. The main US-NATO intention in putting down the wall in Berlin was not unifying Germans .. it was the expansion of US imperialism or their big US Corp  in Europe. This is also the reason why US-NATO oppose the Koreas (N_S) unification. Now NATO is collapsing (Germany, Italy & others are opposing US militarism & wars).
FACTS so far:

1- East-West Germany were divided because of WW2 and between two winners of war: USSR  (who controled East Berlin) and west allies UK-US and France (aho created the FED Rep of Germany in 1949).  

2- Immediately after, these 4 section create a military alliance called NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Org) -also in April 1949-  to stop the advance of RU in Europe. NATO did create their own expansion known as Cold-war.  NATO- 11- FOUNDERS were: Luxembourg, Belgium, Norway,  Iceland, France, Netherlands, USA, Denmark , UK. Italy & Portugal.  

3- In 1955 -6 years after- the RU create their own military alliance known Varsaw-Pact, with this Pact the “cold war” was in full display.

4- In 1985 US-RU  signed the INF Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty and in 1987, nukes were eliminated from and ground-launched ballistic and cruise missiles, Trump just dismantled  these achievements.

5- The fall of Berlin wall was NATO major victory, it happened in Nov 9 of 1989.   

6- Aparently, the UNIFICATION of Germany was the main objective of NATO,  but it was the expansion of the US empire in Europe the main objective.

7- AOC was right, neither peace nor unification was US –NATO intention.

LET’S READ THE CRITIQUE  TO AOC

The Berlin Wall, which enclosed West Berlin during the Cold War era, was torn down 30 years ago, but the New York US congresswoman believes that its legacy is visible in the United States nowadays.
Freshman US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) drew a parallel between President Trump's long-promised border wall and the barrier that divided Berlin in the last century — but plenty of people said she was missing out on some important details.

"No matter how you feel about the wall, I think it's a moral abomination," Ocasio-Cortez said of Trump's plans for a barrier on the US-Mexico border during a livestream.
"I think it's like the Berlin Wall. I think it's like any other wall designed to separate human beings and block out people who are running away from the humanitarian disasters. I just think it's wrong," she added.

LET’S EXAMINE HISTORY instead of attacking the personal opinion of AOC
From:

Following World War II, the four victors — the USSR, Britain, the United States and France — divided Germany and its capital into four occupation sectors.

Sectors under Western control were incorporated into the Federal Republic of Germany in May 1949; the move was followed by the creation of the German Democratic Republic later that year. West Berlin, which was located deep inside the USSR-controlled territory, remained under the control of the Western powers. Its citizens could reach the rest of West Germany via road, rail and air.

In 1949-1961, when the border between West and East Berlin was still open, more than 2.7 million people fled the GDR and East Berlin. In 1960 alone, nearly 200,000 East Germans moved to the West.

The USSR and the West clashed over the status of the German capital city. In November 1958, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev demanded that the Western powers withdraw their forces from West Berlin within six months, so that Berlin could be made a free, demilitarised city. After the allies refused to meet his demands, a three-year political crisis broke out, resulting in the erection of the Berlin Wall by East Germany in 1961.

Although stringent measures were put in place to curb illegal border crossings, people still found ways through, including sewage pipes and secret underground tunnels. [[ Like Mx ]]

Between 1961 and 1989, at least 136 people were killed or died at the GDR border: 98 people were shot and killed while attempting to climb the wall, 30 people who had no intention of fleeing were shot dead or died in accidents, and eight GDR border guards were killed while on duty. In addition, 251 people, both from the East and West, were killed at Berlin checkpoints before, during or after a border crossing.

On November 9, 1989, the GDR government lifted travel restrictions between East and West Berlin. The wall was eventually demolished; the last piece of the original border fortifications remains standing and has been made part of a popular memorial.
