The Marshall deal depended on it, but the resistance movement also made Indonesia less profitable. Fun fact: the parents of our current prime minister were kicked out of Indonesia. Until recently and only under immense pressure did he begrudgingly apologize for the centuries of oppression, murder and robbery.
The Netherlands remembers MH17. RuZZian invaders get wrecked. >

For those wondering, yeah, MH17 caused a massive shift in how the Dutch saw Russia. The flight was from Amsterdam so it was a majority Dutch people, and Russia has done nothing but attempt to shift blame. I personally knew two people on the flight and me and everyone around me has been on the "Fuck Russia" train for a decade now. >

I remember around the time Russia tried to blame it on Ukraine. Enough to put doubt in many minds. >

They still do. >

I misread op and thought they were saying Russia didn't do anything to try to shift the blame. My bad. >

I can totally see why, I worded it a bit awkwardly. >

Netherland have actively aided Ukraine and Ukraine appreciate this aid very much.  Thank you Netherland. >

You’re welcome, we are just happy we do not have to risk our own lives. >

They understand what it’s like to be invaded and have your way of life, your culture and identity threatened by invaders. This is just returning karma, paying it back. >

Yeah, we did it to Indonesia. First hand experience! >

Emberassingly, pretty much after we got liberated.
Never forget, so we don't repeat. >

Uhm no, we did it for 350 years. And we would have carried on with it, but finally got kicked out after WWII. >

As far as I understand Indonesia attempted to kick us out, but we stayed by means of terrible bloodshed. Only after pressure from the international community, especially the US, did we end our oppression in Indonesia.
