Cold War stuff again.

Song about a girl talking about her military academy student (Taruna) boyfriend.

The video shows Soekarno era Eastern Bloc weapons and Sukarelawan Dwikora (Dwikora Volunteers), the notorious group that proposed to became Fifth Branch. Chief of Staff of Indonesian Army of that time (early-mid 60s) which also well known pro western in the military, Ahmad Yani, publicly rejected the leftist aligned Fifth Branch.

To listen to that song at this cold and lonely night at 02:00 AM was a bad Idea...

Two Different Viewpoints

In Cold War era. Soviet was happy to see the crowds of anti-war movements. US through CIA launched Operation MHCHAOS to search Soviet subversions in US anti war movements.

Anti-war movements gains traction and BANG, US troops get out from South Vietnam in 73-75 because of political pressure inside US itself.

That was a big win for the Soviet. Also proving how effective "Active Measures" was.

"the GRU and the KGB helped to fund just about every antiwar movement and organization in America and abroad," said Stanislav Lunev.

Al Qaeda Nasheed LOL. Idk I really like to dig the internet.

FYI... Al Qaeda or Islamic State nasheed doesn't used any musical instruments. They consider musical instruments as Prohibited (Haram).

As someone that not speak Arabic, In this Nasheed, i still can heard, Tora Bora, Kandahar, Ard Al Babil (Land of Babylon?) Etc, which really interesting to me, even though I know zero about what they were talking about.

Dutch song about East Indies. I hope that Dutch (language) is taught at school right here or at least used in certain time or occasion, morning news maybe. But I think, it's too late, now only few people can speak dutch here.
