Foreword:  This was originally written and posted on DeviantART on Saturday September 3, 2022. Similar to my post on Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones , this was another journal that I skimmed past while trying to find other journals to repost on this blog. As you’ll read in the post itself, I wrote this in response to a video that Brandon Tenold made back in 2022. It was a review of a cheaply made bootleg Korean animation movie πŸ‡°πŸ‡· from the early 1990s (the year 1991 to be exact) called Super Thunder Kids that used stock footage from other cheaply made Korean animated movies πŸ‡°πŸ‡·, mostly from the 1970s and 1980s.  Korean animated movies πŸ‡°πŸ‡·, as in South Korean animated movies πŸ‡°πŸ‡· since that’s what people usually refer to when they talk about Korean animated movies πŸ‡°πŸ‡·.

And I just couldn't help but disagree more. Afghanistan πŸ‡¦πŸ‡« was not the "Syria πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡Ύ of the 80s," Lebanon πŸ‡±πŸ‡§ was.  When you look at the conflicts that took place around this time in the Middle East and Central Asia, which is where the Soviet-Afghan War πŸ‡¦πŸ‡«☭ took place, the Lebanese Civil War πŸ‡±πŸ‡§ is probably the most similar to the Syrian Civil War πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡Ύ of today. Like the Syrian Civil War πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡Ύ, it was a multifaceted and multiparty conflict, including many militia groups and insurgent groups all vying fo
