How Did the Outer Islands Rebellion Impact US-Indonesia Relations Going Forward?

Beren: How did this fiasco of the Outer Islands rebellion impact US and Indonesia relations going forward? Beren: We should always keep in mind this is setting the stage eventually for one of the worst atrocities in modern in 20th century history. The CIA said itself that the massacre in 65 and 66 in which 1 million to 3 million people were killed, leftists and communists were murdered. So clearly, the US government is leaning very heavily against Sukarno. And so from the CIA perspective, this is just an operation that represents another line along the continuity of the growth and power of the clandestine state of the United States.
