Original video:
• World War Tree - Opera...
#history #northkorea #americanhistory
Glory the true and only supreme leader of storytelling, The Fat Electrician!
The name of the operation, Paul Bunyan, is an American/Canadian folk tale about a giant lumberjack who had a giant blue ox as a pet.
The lakes in Minnesota are Babe's hoof prints.
Thank you, I did not have this information!
Nic is talking about "Operation Plumbob" where we sent a manhole cover into space at 135k mph with a nuke...
Thank you, I need to know more about this story now!
It isnn be one of the stories, I’m old enough that I learned about it first on the history channel, when they still did actual history, of everyday things and military stuff. It was glorious.
Frisbee! Also cool!
@@ToonStory-fh4gn The Fat Electrician just came out with a video on it...
History, Im a addict. Watching, knowing, it being destroyed really upsets me. Even the ugly parts. Its sacred .
@@nunyalastname-ej8vl I so much agree with you!!!
Exactly. History shows what happens when authoritarian regimes take power. They always start tearing down monuments and changing names of things they “don’t like.” Sounds strangely like some of the stuff that has been happening in the States
There is no such thing as good or bad history. History is just the accumulation of facts that happened in the past. That's why I have quite a problem with some history teachers, you shouldn't interpret history through a modern lens.
@@m2hmghb semantics.
There is good and evil,that's a fact. Good bad yeah they work. Holocaust bad. Black,plague bad. I dustreal revolution that's a mix. LoL
Berlin air lift good. Po.o vaccine good.
Good bad are applicable and subjective.
If you want to know more about the Korean War the team behind both The Great War channel and the World War Two channel here on TH-cam are starting a week by week series for this war also. It is on week 2 currently and the channel is called The Korean War by Indy Neidell
That's nice to know, thank you!
@@ToonStory-fh4gna great series of stories about it, by series I mean, how they happened sequentially, all in one video, about The USMC, and our epic warhorse, Sgt Reckless, Nic did a video on, should definitely check it out, sadly only mainly covers Sgt Reckless and the stories most famous/tied to her, which is amazing, but leaves out all the other crazy stuff that happened, so yeah. Recommend the series the other guy was talking about.
Love the reactions, not gonna lie, I kind of miss you wearing the hat.
I admire the French people surviving WW2. They did not just give up, they were only about 20 years from WW1 where they were devastated.
Keep up the good content!
@@djj9675 thank mate, no problem the hat will be back 😃
There is debate if the manhole cover actually made it to space. It definitely hit escape velocity, but did it burn up in the atmosphere before hitting outerspace is the true question
Appropriate or proportional, we like long words and big guns.

Yet another lunchtime treat for me! I loved this one, you are right on about fact being stranger than fiction, another reason to love history. Im just surprised everyone didnt go deaf from the overhead "appropriate" noise😊. Im just happy that this situation didnt go sideways, would have been ugly. Really enjoyed this one, thank you as always and everyone have a fun and safe weekend
if you connect the dots, ever since WWII there was at least once incident in each decade for the next 3 decades at least (would have to do some research to see if it extends up to the millenium) where we were trying hard to start a 3rd World War. 1) 1950's: Korean War 1960's: Cuba Missle crisis / Vietnam War 1970's: Korean axe murder incident / Operation Paul Bunyan 1980's: Mining of the U.S.S. Samuel B. Roberts, and the resulting Operation Preying Mantis.
Thank you very much for your nice comment as always, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😀
"History is always better than fiction" well said. Keep up the good work!
That is why I love History so much, thank you very much!
Nixon was not impeached but would have been if he didn't resign, A. Johnson, Bill Clinton and 2x Trump was impeached but no conviction with all four.
Thans for the clarification!
Can you please do “Americas War Horse Marine: Sergeant Reckless”? It’s a story from the Korean War
That's a great one!
Thanks good idea!
I can get behind any story from the Korean War. There's a reason why in the United States (maybe other places too) that it's also known as "the Forgotten War."
That's a good one!
This is nice to watch with a hangover.........
Good luck man, it will be better tomorrow
Loving your reactions. I really enjoy your point of view and how you add in other facts that we don’t get here in the US. Thank you
@@douglogsdonii2116 thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Originally it was only North Korea that invaded the south but the US protected the South from falling. But instead of standing there ground US decided to push all the way into north korea to unite korea however the generals at the time didnt stop at north korea and pushed into chinese territory which got the chinese involved with the help of the chinese the northerns almost completely captured the south but the americans managed to push the back to the 38th parallel where the current treaty stands - a really oversimplified explanation of the war
MacArthur wanted to nuke china for there involvement in the war
Never crossed into,China.
@@nunyalastname-ej8vl Not on foot at least.
@@knightspearhead5718 devil is in the details.
And
It's never a war crime the first time lmao.
@@nunyalastname-ej8vl All is fair in love and war
Ok thank you for the clarification, it's all very foggy for me indeed
I always love hearing another historian's perspective from another country react to something new to him.
Thank you, glad you enjoy it!
1976 was our country's 200th anniversary. The freedom factor was through the roof!
Thank you for this information on the general contexte, I did not realized that!
Great stuff. Really enjoying your reactions and your obvious love for history. Easy sub and looking forward to your future reaction videos. For now, it seems I have a nice back catalog of videos to be watched. Cheers
Thanks & enjoy!
Communism can and does work but only on a small scale. It it is just a few families or a village it can work as you become a team that care for each other like in a family or household. The moment it grows beyond that into a government with a management class and the team/family motive for the group is lost. Capitalism works as long as you limit over regulation, corruption and monopolies at any scale as supply and demand is self correcting.
Growing up the icecream truck that was for this area was operated by a Korean war veteran. He was a good guy. He gave me his grandfather's bayonet. He said his kid's didn't want it because they were getting all of his "war shit" but that he knew it would have a good home with me. One of my most prized possessions.
Have to edit to add: McArthur wanted to nuke the chinese not the North Koreans. He was pissed with what they did, how they did it, and that he had egg on his face.
While I may tease the French (just as your countrymen do to us) I have a deep respect and thankfulness for your nation. If it wasn't for your nation my nation may not have existed. Take care and bonne chance!
lmfao i love this video. i always get so excited when i see you post a new video lol. have a good day mon ami
Thank you that was a fun one!
Can't wait to see you react to "Band of Beavers" by fat electrician
Next week !
All these NK clips had me rolling😂
These never get old, I could do a full video about them 😅
Good news! TFE has made that video about the manhole cover.
@@vladyvhv9579 cool thanks!!!
Fantastic video my friend,I only have one thing to say good plan.
Thank you, and yes that was a cunning plan
Oh great reply,love black adder
"1 2 3 frown 🙁" hahaha 😆
😅
What funny is the only men that guard the North Korea check point have to be over 6ft/1.8 meters
Thank you I did not know that!
lol this is a fun one
Oh yes!
123 frown
😅
"World war tree. I don't know where it will take us"
To the DMZ between North and South Korea post Korean War when the U.S. and South Korea tried to cut down a tree that was offending their view and it almost restarted the Korean War because the North Koreans believed that tree was planted by their national leader who doesn't poop.
Hahaha thank you for this one on their national supreme ultra giga chad leader 😂
The manhole cover story is worth watching
Thanks I'll try to find it!
7:58 unhealthy? Nah, that's normal. Everyone loves kim, I must say the people can't complain...
They really can't complain
Ayyyy lets goooo
🤟
14:30-15:09 is South Korea 🇰🇷 not North Korea 🇰🇵
Yes the north korea stuff just spontaneously popped into my mind when Nick was talking about the South Korean special forces
I submit that the Napoleonic Wars constituted the First World War, Monsieur.
@@stirlingmoss4621 what about the 7 years war?
@@ToonStory-fh4gn Good point, but, the war didnt involve much of the Far East or antipodes.Come back to me if you disagree, stp.
@@stirlingmoss4621 I think a point we can make for the 7 years war is that it also involved conflicts on the Indian subcontinent? But I'll let you have the final word on the question, mon ami!
@@ToonStory-fh4gn plusieurs créateurs TH-cam ont réalisé des programmes sur ce sujet ; peut-être envisageriez-vous d'en examiner un, mon brave ? 🙄
Avec grand plaisir!
Well Vietnam and China make it work…but they heavily trade and rely on the west, specifically the US for trade and a source of income. And they are also…well not “real” communists, like full on radical ones, in all ways, I think there is like one other, commie country that heavily deals with the west and (US) they are also marginally successful, as in, no one around them tries to conquer them, and they are “rich” in comparison to most of their neighbors also. But they are ultimately still shitholes for their people, all the lower…excuse me, less equal class, live poor lives, that are hard and can be imprisoned or killed at any time, for no reason. So while they can work, kinda, if they abandon most of the communist principles, but keep the terror and tyranny, while trading with the west, not exactly shining beacons of humanity or success.
Yes, I quite agree with you. I'm not sure that the philosophers who wanted to think about an egalitarian utopia had this kind of result in mind. And seen from the outside, their 'success' has effectively come at the price of brutalising part of their people for the benefit of the elites. That said, I know too little about the history and culture of these countries and I'm certainly missing a lot of the keys to understanding them. Thank you for your comment!
@@ToonStory-fh4gn oh yeah, for sure, I also hate communism on legendary levels as Nic does, no way supporting or embracing them, I’d just as soon crush them under my boot heel as allow them to exist as a government. But they are the very few and twisted examples that “work” and yes as we said at the expense of all their people except those at the very top. They are just the closest thing to success commies can claim.
Vietnam absolutely does not make it work. Many Vietnamese live rough lives and the infrastructure is 70 years behind. I mentored a Vietnamese foreign exchange student and he would tell me about a bunch of stuff going on over there.
the fact about communism is that it has literally never been tried beyond very VERY small scale of up to 100 people. the soviet union wasn't communist, china isn't communist, cuba isn't communist. they all claimed a political ideology they never followed...like certain national socialists who weren't socialists, or the peoples democratic republic of korea...that isn't in the least bit democratic. communism by itself and it's failure rate ha to do with people. the ideology require people acting in perfect ways...and that just ain't going to happen.
the only thing fatso got right was his sarcasm for blaming things on capitalism, capitalism REQUIRES vigilant regulation because it has the same issue as communism or ANY human system...it relies on humans. and some humans are going to try...or succeed in gaming the system to their advantage. that's why ALL human systems require vigilance against those that would use it to heir own advantage no matter what that systems is...except communism the way it was meant to be done, it's just not possible without genetically engineering humans.
Yes, I can't find any successful examples of communism beyond limited experiments. In France we had the Commune but it totally failed for many reasons.
And I agree with you that any system must be framed and balanced with checks and balances to limit human nature's shortcomings as much as possible.
Greetings from France!
