To me, this is still the bravest thing ever caught on tape and sadly we will never know this man's name. He will forever just be tank man.....
Should have cut China off from civilized nations, but GHW Bush had other ideas.
Iran took 52 Americans hostage for 444 days, and Reagan did nothing.
When this happened I was in Air Force tec. School. I took a T-shirt and burned some “bullet holes” in it with a cigarette. Then I dribbled/splattered red model paint all over it and painted “Spring Break ’89 Beijing China- Tiananmen Square Tour “ on the back in Asian style lettering. I got some pretty shocked looks wearing it!
Another like for the video shy:

It’s still matters because this is how we got coronavirus deliberately released. In 1989 China was still a hermit kingdom, the world could do nothing but express disapproval. The protest in Wuhan in Hong Kong and growing out of control and spread. China needed to put a stop to it. Near Christmas of 2019 they had 1.7 million people on the streets in Hong Kong. Trump was a runaway freight train headed to reelection with our economy
Communist China Was unable to use the 1989 solution without massive retaliation from America, the EU and others in the trade arena. So they released the coronavirus and that let them have draconian shut downs of the country. During that time they moved on Hong Kong, and the protests are crashed.
As an added bonus, they were able to cooperate with the American deep state and remove Trump and kill America’s economy.
