The CIA toppled Sukarno because he would not be an American puppet. The CIA bombed innocent Inonesians and along with MI6 organised 'Islamic' terrorism. The CIA also toppled Suharto.

@EkajTheSwordsman: It is true that US did not mastermind the coup. It wouldn't be true to say that the US did not play a role in the killings.

@EkajTheSwordsman: In addition to support the US was providing during the killings, arms obtained through previous grants of assisstance were used in the crackdown. Total US MAP to Indonesia between 1950 and 1965 was $63,200,000. Roughly $59,000,000 of this was delivered in 1959-65, including over 100,000 small arms, some 2,000 trucks, and various other forms of equipment. The US also provided massive aid to Suharto when in power. US aid was consistent before, during, and after the massacre.

@EkajTheSwordsman: That's not true. The State Department considered that “Small arms and equipment may be needed [by the Army] to deal with the PKI." Marshall Green, US Ambassador to Indonesia, advised that the US “explore the availability of small arms stocks, preferable of non-US origin, which could be obtained without any overt US Government involvement,” and “examine channels through which we could, if necessary, provide covert assistance to army for purchase of weapons."

@EkajTheSwordsman: That is not entirely true. The United States set up a designated liaison in Bangkok, Thailand, through which the Indonesian generals made requests for logistical support meant specifically to aid in killing. The support came mostly in the form of tactical communications equipment which served to patch a communications gap between government headquarters and military commands carrying out repressive activities in Sumatra, Java, and Sulawesi.

@ccmm53095 The US did try to overthrow Sukarno in the fifties, but it had absolutely nothing to do with the 1965 coup. When US diplomats were asked by Indonesia for arms, the State Department stonewalled, replying: “There was to be no implication of providing anything more than medical supplies already authorized, but the US officials could ask questions to clarify any Indonesia requests for additional aid.”

[EkajTheSwordsman]

@ccmm53095 American officials were so unprepared for the crisis that at first they misidentified the anti-communist leader, General Suharto. The Johnson Administration expressly refused to supply weapons for the mass killing of Indonesian communists. I agree about the US motive for aiding Sukarno.

[ccmm53095]

@EkajTheSwordsman: True, Sukarno did receive US aid, in fact Indonesia had been a recipient of American aid since 1950. However, the US supplied this aid because it feared that if it didn't form close military and economic ties with Indonesia, it would become increasingly more reliant on the USSR and the PRC. Sukarno stood in the way of America's plans for the region, he had to go. The CIA had been attempting to depose Sukarno since the mid-1950s, and almost did so in 1958. Read about it.
