The CIA has been involved in quite a lot of “international interventions”, some more successful than others. Many are familiar with their adventures in Latin America, but few know that they were also involved in Tibet… and that is what we’ll explore in this episode of SideQuest.
EDIT: To clarify, the Tibetan Resistance existed prior to the CIA’s involvement in Tibet; it was a citizens’ uprising-turned-army that happened to receive funding and training from the CIA due to their common geopolitical goals.

Better still, he managed to escaped that harsh land by only sandals, butter tea and faith.
Even if Tibetans are protesting Daily(With the funds of USA/CIA)..their Main Daddy The pedo Dalai Lama Already stated that he doesn't want tibet to be independence from china in his recent interviews lmao😂😂😂
One of the best things that the CIA ever did!
yikes. cant watch anything dalai lama related without thinking of….👅
thank you i am not geographically inclined
Hahaha… good try buying into ChiNazi propaganda. China 'liberated' Tibet is same as saying Emperial Japan Chinese from Cannabislism.
High level of explaining
Thnks
Special ly for last hhh
He is not a religious leader rather political puppet
Pakistani dictator Yahya was the reason behind Nixon warming to China
Here I'm a Napalese, speaking about Tibetan people's misery in the past, we've a very close acquaintance with Tibetan people historically and culturally_Before Tibet was liberated and reunited with China, the dalai lamas, predecessors of current dalai lama even persuaded the serfs (Tibetan people) to eat 'herbal medicine' that was made from his dehydrated feces turned into pills look alike. The serfs then were made to believe it in a true sense that they were indeed medicines. That is how horrible was the situation of Tibetan people in those days.
Dalai Lama is the serfs owner, that's the truth
how stupid this world is
so basically China didnt like the slave economy tibet was running on so they confiscated the land from the dalai lama, gave it to the freed slaves, and now dalai lama isnt happy so he flees the country lol
conviniently left out that the dalai lama owned serfs and before mao tibet was a feudal backwater and the 'freedom fighters' are a very small population indeed hardly representing the general pro mao concensus in tibet
The Lama is literally no different than any monarch claiming divine right to rule. I believe in a free Tibet, but a democratic Tibet.
