Recently, I've learned Nepal history just because I really like the nepal curry at a restaurant nearby, .
In 2001, Nepalese royal massacre happened, and King Gyanendra crowned. He stop the parliament and started absolute monarchism. Resulting civil war between The King, the Politicians and the Maoists.
Guess which side US aided with weapons? The King!
Fortunately, all the political parties came to term quickly and threw out the king, establish the parliament, publish interim constitution, separation of religion and state, and the rest of the things democracy should have.

To me, US is not a supporter of democracy and freedom, it's just a weapon merchant.

- ncmncm 8y agoRecent Nepalese history is very interesting. Someone machine-gunned the entire royal family except the one guy. He claimed it was one of the dead, who had skipped killing him, and shot himself instead. Everyone reported this as-is, without comment, ever since. I have never seen a hint in print, since, that the new king had shot them all, although everyone must have been thinking it. All I can conclude is that no one knew when he might need to go to Nepal, so could not risk writing anything that might turn out to endanger himself.
- ezoe 8y agoYeah. Very very suspicious. No proof though.
