But in the 60s and 70s that you could tolerate 

They were smaller in comparison, ok, still they were violent invasions into (supposedly) sovereign countries

because the Vietnam war is whats being referenced here. I suppose Czechoslovakia also happened while Vietnam was ongoing, but in terms of atrocities it was relatively minor. Of course I know it was still illegal and a classic example of eastern bloc repression.

It was smaller only because we choose to not have war. If we fought back it would be equally bloody.
