The funny thing about “tankie” is that recently declassified documents show that even its original meaning was founded on Cold War disinformation. The tanks were brought in to Hungary by request to suppress a CIA-backed fascist paramilitary counterrevolution.

Is the important part here where it says:

“The Hungarian Freedom Fighters were agency sponsored”

Yes.

The “Agency” in question was, of course, the Central Intelligence Agency. In the context of the JFK assassination, the CIA was suggesting anti-Castro groups meet with Béla Király, likely to replicate the Hungarian uprising in Cuba to oust the communist government.

As these documents admit, Béla Király and the broader combative force were supported, trained , and armed by the CIA and MI6; you don’t need to be a genius to figure out who was pushing the Hungarian Uprising to move from civil protest to alignment with Washington D.C.’s geopolitical goals.
