I remember there was this show on the sci fi network I believe where it's about documented cases of science going wrong (like doctors trying to solve speech impediments but accidentally giving normal kids speech impediments). Anyway, one episode was about how there was this scientist working on some kind defoliant and then how the US then used his chemical in Vietnam to destroy food production which caused over a million vietnamese people to develop birth defects and even causing cancer for us vets who worked with it, I'm not entirely sure what the chemical was called but it was fucked up for sure.
Forgotten US attrocities
Agent Orange
Yup that's the one.
How about when the US actively trained and supported the complete annihilation of the PKI and Indonesia’s subsequent imperialist endeavors (including Timor and New Guinea)?

The Corpus Christi Massacre. There was a student protest in Mexico City protesting the new neoliberal policies of the Country and a bunch of paramilitary units trained by the CIA came and murdered over a hundred students. This was also during the Dirty War where the Mexican Government, backed by the US, was suppressing socialist parties and even kidnapping and torturing over a thousand leftist.
Is there any evidence of this actually working, or that this is what the Filipino Muslims actually worried about? That sounds like US propaganda more than anything, it's a pretty extraordinary claim that an entire population that wants to fight would stop over such a specific thing.

Agent Orange, Agent Blue etc. they were called the Rainbow Agents and were toxic AF. It caused cancer, birth defects and left large areas of old-growth jungle completely bleached and burnt out for years or decades. It affected US veterans often too, they actually united with Vietnamese veterans to demand reparations and health compensation from Dow, the company the made Agent Orange. Dow denies everything or tries to say the government forced them whenever they're pressed about it. I did a research paper on the subject and frankly the details are horrifying.
Here are some sources and context I got. (The best sources I have are Times articles but they're pay-per-view and since I'm long out of school I'm no longer able to access them.
