Question: Where did the arguer that the country Directive 10/2 called for actions against had become an imperialist power declare he would intervene in the Korean conflict?

On 27 June 1950, two days after the KPA invaded and three months before the Chinese entered the war, President Truman dispatched the United States Seventh Fleet to the Taiwan Strait, to prevent hostilities between the Nationalist Republic of China (Taiwan) and the People's Republic of China (PRC). On 4 August 1950, with the PRC invasion of Taiwan aborted, Mao Zedong reported to the Politburo that he would intervene in Korea when the People's Liberation Army's (PLA) Taiwan invasion force was reorganized into the PLA North East Frontier Force. China justified its entry into the war as a response to "American aggression in the guise of the UN". <SEP> Trotsky, and others, believed that the revolution could only succeed in Russia as part of a world revolution. Lenin wrote extensively on the matter and famously declared that Imperialism was the highest stage of capitalism. However, after Lenin's death, Joseph Stalin established 'socialism in one country' for the Soviet Union, creating the model for subsequent inward looking Stalinist states and purging the early Internationalist elements. The internationalist tendencies of the early revolution would be abandoned until they returned in the framework of a client state in competition with the Americans during the Cold War. With the beginning of the new era, the after Stalin period called the "thaw", in the late 1950s, the new political leader Nikita Khrushchev put even more pressure on the Soviet-American relations starting a new wave of anti-imperialist propaganda. In his speech on the UN conference in 1960, he announced the continuation of the war on imperialism, stating that soon the people of different countries will come together and overthrow their imperialist leaders. Although the Soviet Union declared itself anti-imperialist, critics argue that it exhibited tendencies common to historic empires. Mao Zedong once argued that the Soviet Union had itself become an imperialist power while maintaining a socialist façade. Some scholars hold that the Soviet Union was a hybrid entity containing elements common to both multinational empires and nation states. It has also been argued that the USSR practiced colonialism as did other imperial powers and was carrying on the old Russian tradition of expansion and control. Moreover, the ideas of imperialism were widely spread in action on the higher levels of government. Non Russian Marxists within the Russian Federation and later the USSR, like Sultan Galiev and Vasyl Shakhrai, considered the Soviet Regime a renewed version of the Russian imperialism and colonialism. <SEP> To this end, the Office of Policy Coordination was created inside the new CIA. On 18 June 1948, the National Security Council issued Directive 10/2 calling for covert action against the USSR, and granting the authority to carry out covert operations against "hostile foreign states or groups" that could, if needed, be denied by the U.S. government. The OPC was quite unique; Frank Wisner, the head of the OPC, answered not to the CIA Director, but to the secretaries of defense, state, and the NSC, and the OPC's actions were a secret even from the head of the CIA. Most CIA stations had two station chiefs, one working for the OSO, and one working for the OPC. <SEP> cultural imperialism is when a country's influence is felt in social and cultural circles, i.e. its soft power, such that it changes the moral, cultural and societal worldview of another. this is more than just "foreign" music, television or film becoming popular with young people, but that popular culture changing their own expectations of life and their desire for their own country to become more like the foreign country depicted. for example, depictions of opulent american lifestyles in the soap opera dallas during the cold war changed the expectations of romanians; a more recent example is the influence of smuggled south korean drama series in north korea. the importance of soft power is not lost on authoritarian regimes, fighting such influence with bans on foreign popular culture, control of the internet and unauthorised satellite dishes etc. nor is such a usage of culture recent, as part of roman imperialism local elites would be exposed to the benefits and luxuries of roman culture and lifestyle, with the aim that they would then become willing participants. <SEP> when anti-german demonstrations erupted in prague, czechoslovakia, the comintern ordered the czech communist party to employ all of its strength to paralyze "chauvinist elements." moscow soon forced the communist parties of france and great britain to adopt an anti-war position. on 7 september, stalin called georgi dimitrov,[clarification needed] and the latter sketched a new comintern line on the war. the new line—which stated that the war was unjust and imperialist—was approved by the secretariat of the communist international on 9 september. thus, the various western communist parties now had to oppose the war, and to vote against war credits. although the french communists had unanimously voted in parliament for war credits on 2 september and on 19 september declared their "unshakeable will" to defend the country, on 27 september the comintern formally instructed the party to condemn the war as imperialist. by 1 october the french communists advocated listening to german peace proposals, and communist leader maurice thorez deserted from the french army on 4 october and fled to russia. other communists also deserted from the army.
