No, I was talking about how western powers exploited and exacerbated the controversy and pain in those countries... and by western powers I am talking about the CIA mainly... [The state department]

Source, multiple family members in the state department in the past....

for reference from head of the state department at the time:

No, because you missed the point of the post you were responding to. They were clearly talking about the effect of conflict between major powers.

Huge genocides are horrific tragedies but did not effect the development of technology like wartime did.

>>when there wasn't significant conflict between major powers.

im talking to this point as there were massive proxy-wars/conflagration of conflict in that time period mentioned...

But to your point ;; "did not affect development of technology"

welp ;; surveillance tech has been massively successfully developed DURING that period

Its fine to talk to that point, I dont even disagree, but it had nothing to do with the point being discussed. Anyway, god speed to you.
