 * [[File:Smetona.png]] Antanas Smetona - Antanas Smetona was the first president of Lithuania between 1919-1920 and 1926-1940 before it was occupied by the Soviet Union. He was one of the most important Lithuanian figures in World War I and World War II and was one of the early adopters of nationalism in Lithuania. He came to power in 1919, becoming the first president of Lithuania, after being chosen by the Lithuanian State Council, but in 1920, the Assembly chose Aleksandras Stulginskis and Smetona was not re-elected. He was arrested in 1923 for a few days for publishing an article, but was released, becoming an assistant professor sometime later.

After overthrowing President Kazys Grinius in a 1926 coup d'état, he became president. As president, he suppressed parliament, later creating a constitution with much broader powers for the president, taking a dictatorial stance without parliament. He was extremely nationalistic, in which he banned Polish-speaking schools and also banned communist parties, claiming to be “non-Lithuanian force invading the country”, even though their leaders were Lithuanians. He took a hit after a farmers' strike, in which he repelled and arrested those who participated in the strike, but later support for the regime became dependent on farmers, so much so that he was cautious in industrialization and did not encourage foreign investment, but supported the sector. agricultural. His regime was the first to try the Nazis, in which he arrested 76 Nazi Hitlerites and executed 4, but had to hand over the Memel region to Nazi Germany, making his distaste for Hitler grow, appointing opponents to regain credibility. He left after the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, with the Soviet government's ultimatum, in which he proposed an armed revolt, but failed, leading a government-in-exile in Germany, stating that "I don't want to make Lithuania a Bolshevik country with my own hands".

 * [[File:Törni.png]]Lauri Törni-Lauri Allan Törni later known as Larry Lane and Larry Alan Thorne was a Finnish soldier who fought and served under three flags: as a Finnish Army officer in the Winter War and the Continuation War; as a Waffen-SS captain of the Finnish Volunteer Battalion of the Waffen-SS when he fought the Red Army on the Eastern Front in World War II; and as a US Army Major when he served in the US Army Special Forces in the Vietnam War.

Lauri Törni entered military service in 1938 and would soon serve during the Winter War to protect his country from invading Soviet troops. His actions during the Winter War gained notice from his commanders who promoted him to the rank of a Vänrikki (2nd lieutenant) in the reserves. In 1941, Törni went to  Austria for seven weeks of training with the Waffen-SS, where he would be recognized as an Untersturmführer.

Lauri Törni's reputation would be defined by his actions during the Continuation War (1941-1944) in which Nazi Germany provided Finland with material support and military assistance against  the Soviet Union to regain territories that had been lost during the Winter War. In 1943, a unit, known as "Detachment Törni" was created under his command which came to inflict such heavy casualties on Soviet units that the Red Army placed a bounty of 3,000,000 Finnish marks on Törni's head.

Following the Moscow Armistice of 1944 which forced the Finnish government to remove German troops from its territory, Törni left his country for Germany. He was eventually captured by British troops but managed to escape back to Finland where he would be arrested by the Finnish State police for treason for joining the German military. Törni was pardoned by President Juho Paasikivi in 1948 and moved to Sweden, then to  Venezuela, and eventually settled in New York City,   the United States in 1950.

He enlisted in the US army in 1954 and serve in  West Germany from 1958 to 1962. The Finnish-born soldier was sent to South Vietnam in 1963 to support the ARVN forces during the Vietnam War. Larry Alan Thorne would meet his end in 1965 when he disappeared during a clandestine mission to locate  Viet Cong turnaround points along the Ho Chi Minh trail. Thorne's remains were found in 1999 by a Finnish and Joint Task Force-Full Accounting team and sent back to the US and by 2003 buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

 * [[File:HDZ-icon.png]] Franjo Tuđman - Franjo Tuđman was the first president of post-Yugoslavia Croatia in 1990, he was also a member of the [[File:Yugoslav Partisans.png]]Yugoslav Partisans in World War II, he received his doctorate in history in 1965 and was arrested in 1972 for participating in the Croatian Spring movement. He lived anonymously until the end of communism, but began his political career in 1989, founding the [[File:HDZ-icon.png]]Croatian Democratic Union and winning the 1990 elections.

As President of Croatia, he suppressed the Log Revolution, in which Jovan Rašković held a referendum on Serbian sovereignty and autonomy that Tuđman deemed illegal, sparking several armed conflicts in the region, especially in Knin. In 1991 he held an independence referendum which had 94% approval, declaring independence in June of the same year along with Slovenia, was celebrated with a military parade and was boycotted by Croatian Serbs. The Yugoslav government and ethnic Serbs had not accepted independence, which generated the Croatian War of Independence, in which Yugoslavia came to occupy Croatia, but failed and then the Serbian forces self-proclaimed the Krajina Republic of Serbia and had not been recognized. The Yugoslav government sent the Yugoslav People's Army to the Slovenian border with Italy, which resulted in the Ten Days War, delaying independence for 3 months. In the same year, he held several meetings with post-Yugoslav leaders such as Slobodan Milošević and  Alija Izetbegović. Even though Croatia won the war in 1995, it had an economic recession of 21-25%, lost production, high number of deaths and refugees, damaged infrastructure, among others. He also participated in the Bosnian War, in which he had supported Bosnia and Herzegovina, in which he sent soldiers, tanks and armaments, along with the foundation of Hrvatsko vijeće obrane (HVO, Croatian Defense Council), a relief council for Bosnia.

Other things like the president introduced a new constitution with political, economic and social reforms, removed communist and socialist symbols from Croatia and made several government officials who were Serbs or communists fired. There was also a lot of repression against ethnic Serbs and accusations of authoritarianism. In economics he had the Ministry of Privatization and the transition from a planned economy to a market economy and he had recoveries and economic growth. He also declared support for NATO and won the Zhukov Medal in 1966 for his Anti-Fascist struggle, currently he is highly favored among Croatians.

 * [[File:CHNNeocon.png]] Chinese Neoauthoritarianism-Neoauthoritarianism or "Chinese Neoconservatism" (Chinese: 新权威主义; pinyin: xīn quánwēi zhǔyì) is a current of political thought within the [[File:Cball-China.png]] the People's Republic of China, that advocates a powerful state to facilitate market reforms.

Chinese proponents of neo-authoritarianism are opposed to radical reforms such as the transition to a western-style liberal democracy like the one seen in Russia under  Mikhail Gorbachev and argue that an authoritarian and incrementalist approach is necessary to stabilize the process of modernization.

One of the most influential advocates for Chinese Neoconservatism is the current First Secretary of the Secretariat of the Chinese Communist Party, Wang Huning. Wang Huning previously served as Director of the Central Policy Research Office from 2002-2020 which enabled him to influence the ideology and policies of all three Paramount Leaders of the 21st Century, Jiang Zemin (1989-2002/2003),  Hu Jintao (2002-2012), and  Xi Jinping (2012-Present). This is an impressive feat in Chinese politics due to the many inter-party power struggles that have divided the CPC since its inception. Wang Huning's personality and beliefs were shaped after studying in the US for 6 months, the year 1988, which lead to the release of his book "America vs America" (1991), in which he tells of his contempt and criticism of western liberalism and multi-party democracy.

Proponents of Chinese neoconservatism gained much influence under the regime of Jiang Zemin, during the 1990s-mid 2000s, and Jiang's theory of the Three Represents has been described as a "bowdlerized form of neoconservatism".

 * [[File:RamaIX.png]] Network Monarchism - Bhumibol Adulyadej or Rama IX was the 9th monarch of Thailand from the Chakri dynasty, reigning from 9 June 1946 until his death in 2016, having amassed a fortune of US$30 billion throughout his 70-year long reign. Bhumibol was born in the US and was educated in Switzerland and ascended the throne following the death by gunshot of his brother, King Ananda Mahidol, whose death has been the cause of much speculation and conspiracy theories.

In 1957, a military coup led by General Sarit Thanarat overthrew the government of dictator Plaek "Phibun" Phibunsongkhram who had ruled Thailand since 1932, which began a new and lasting relationship between the military and the monarchy.

Lèse-majesté which in French means "to do wrong to majesty", is a serious crime in Thailand crime according to Section 112 of the Thai Criminal Code making it illegal to defame, insult, or threaten the monarch (king, queen, heir-apparent, heir-presumptive, or regent) of Thailand. Penalties for Lèse-majesté range from three to fifteen years imprisonment. Lèse-majesté has frequently been used throughout modern Thai history by coup makers to justify military coups against elected governments and prime ministers. Lèse-majesté was cited as one of the major reasons for the 2006 coup against Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and that of 2014 against his sister  Yingluck Shinawatra, by the current Prime Minister  Prayuth Chan-o-Cha.

"Main Article: Person Dignity Theory"


 * [[File:Persondignity.png]] Ngô Đình Diệm - Ngô Đình Diệm was appointed Prime Minister of the State of Vietnam in 1954 by former Emperor Bảo Đại. With help of his brother Ngô Đình Nhu he declared himself President of the newly created Republic of Vietnam or South Vietnam through a rigged referendum in 1955. Through a constitution written by a rubber-stamp legislature, Diệm achieved the power to create laws by decree and arbitrarily give himself emergency powers which he used to prosecute and execute political dissidents such as communists and even fellow nationalists. Diệm's regime was infamous for its preferential treatment of South Vietnam's Catholic minority which came at the expense of the country's Buddhist majority. Public servants and army officers had long been promoted on the basis of religious preference, and government contracts, US aid, business favors, and tax concessions were preferentially given to Catholics

Diệm's autocratic and despotic regime made it easy for the North Vietnamese communist government led by Hồ Chí Minh to infiltrate South Vietnam which they perceived to be a neocolonial puppet state and extension of US imperialism. In 1959 the Communist Party of Vietnam launched a people's war on the South to overthrow the US-backed capitalist government and create a unified Vietnam under communist rule.

Discontent with Diệm's rule peaked during the 1963 Buddhist Crisis and the increasing threat of the Viet Cong which had grown massively in numbers and popularity, which caused the US government of John F. Kennedy to lose faith in Diệm's leadership.

In November 1963, President Ngô Đình Diệm and the Personalist Labor Revolutionary Party of South Vietnam were deposed by a group of Army of the Republic of Vietnam officers who disagreed with his handling of both the Buddhist crisis and the Viet Cong threat to the regime.


 * Nguyễn Cao Kỳ and [[File:Thiệu.png]] Nguyễn Văn Thiệu - Following the 1963 coup d'etat South Vietnam was ruled by a series of short-lived military juntas for 5 years, market by infighting and military coups until 1967. Nguyễn Cao Kỳ and Nguyễn Văn Thiệu were two ARVN officers who had participated in the 1963 coup against Diệm and were able to end the cycle of coups that followed the one caused by the Buddhist crisis. Nguyễn Cao Kỳ served as Prime Minister from 1965–to 1967 and Vice President under Nguyễn Văn Thiệu from 1967-1971.

In 1965, Kỳ told the journalist Brian Moynahan: "People ask me who my heroes are. I have only one: Hitler. " This controversial statement put him at odds with President Lyndon B. Johnson who denied to the American media that Kỳ had made the remark.

Nguyễn Văn Thiệu was the President of South Vietnam from 1967-1975 and was criticized for his corruption and for appointing loyalists rather than competent officers to lead ARVN units.

During the Lunar New Year of 1968, the communists launched the infamous Tet Offensive, a massive attack on the cities of Vietnam in an attempt to topple Thiệu and Ky's government. The Tet Offensive resulted in thousands of casualties and the displacement of thousands more.

After the signing of the Paris Peace Accords—which Thiệu opposed and the US withdrawal, South Vietnam resisted the communists for another two years until the communists' final push for victory with the 1975 spring offensive, which saw the South openly invaded by the entire North Vietnamese army. Both Thiệu and Ky fled the South before the Fall of Saigon and settled in the United States.

I'm thankful that Xi removed you and your oligarch friends from power.
 * [[File:Hochi.png]] Ho Chi Minh Thought [[File:Đổi Mới.png]] - I fought you during and after the Vietnam War and narrowly managed to contain the rise of communism in South East Asia.
