No, he was just retarded.

No he was literally (using the word correctly) retarded and ran his country even further into the ground

There's this awful trend in post-colonial political science trying to present him as some sort of evil machiavellian mastermind, but he wasn't, he was just a retard who never stopped making bad decisions

No, but he may have been retarded

Yes.

He was literally retarded and that's hilarious. His name was "Idi Amin dada", his rule was a fucking dadaist masterpiece.
>His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular
>He never received the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) or the Military Cross (MC). He conferred a doctorate of law on himself from Makerere University as well as the Victorious Cross (VC), a medal made to emulate the British Victoria Cross
>After the United Kingdom broke off all diplomatic relations with his regime in 1977, Amin declared he had defeated the British, and conferred on himself the decoration of CBE (Conqueror of the British Empire).

>Invaded Tanzania and got BTFO even with Libyan help because "...the Libyans soon found themselves on the front line, while Ugandan Army units were using supply trucks to carry their newly plundered wealth in the opposite direction"
>"...the greatest problem for the Tanzanian troops was their own lack of maps of the city [Kampala] "

>Idi Amin is a splendid type and a good rugby player, but virtually bone from the neck up and needs things explained to him, preferably in words of one syllable.
