Yeah, Reagan who managed to support people who went to the Taliban after fighting the "communists" which mainly mysteriously happened to be priests and nuns, also peasants because the Govt at the time labeled anyone working for the poor to be subversive and therefore ordered killings with full permission from Reagan.

How's those right wing Islamic militants turned out after we gave them millions of dollars? Such a man hoorah patriotism!

👊

@SatanBurger civilians when they think they know what it's like over there 😂
iDivorcedKaren · 36-40, M
@iDivorcedKaren go tell your doctor you know better than him because you read about it on the internet
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@iDivorcedKaren Yeah because right winged death squads are just front line defenders innocently protecting themselves against mass injustices caused by peasants, priests and nuns.

Did you just respond to yourself LOL!

@SatanBurger war is peasant on peasant always has been. The men that we fought daily from my personal experience are nothing close to holy or gentle but you're a close minded person one that legitimately thinks they know more than those that have experienced it first hand. Theres nothing I can say to change your opinion. I understand you dont feel I'm entitled to my own, but you are entitled to yours. Even if it is uninformed and misguided

The only way a country can even wage war is through money. War is profitable so therefore the uber rich can and do profit. There's no way you can tell me there's no one to pull the strings to light the fuse at least 50% of the time even if it's not all the time. Corporations in Africa for instance, pitted two warring tribes against one another by telling one that it was superior to that of another. This purposely creates division but better yet, it gets a majority when they work in crappy conditions to be passive with their slave labor for 4 dollars an hour. If a minority rises up, it's a great way to create a loyal base. War is a lot of things... self defense, propaganda, money and political interests put together. It's a lot more complicated than "peasants want to willfully wipe each other out."

The men that we fought daily from my personal experience are nothing close to holy or gentle but you're a close minded person

Yeah I know, those nuns were shifty things, they just had to be raped and murdered.

You seem to be making this personal, if you've been in war, understand I'm not talking about every soldier but you bring up Reagan specifically so I'll specifically stay on point.

Being upset at far right wing death squads who only managed to kill small town peasants, nuns and priests doesn't make me close minded. I'm actually the opposite of Christian, so if I was closed minded, I would support the Contras to thank them for wiping out people who are historically anti-gay and bigoted and I would stereotype those nuns and priests to justify their murders.

If I was closed minded, I would have labeled them communists without any evidence what so ever to dismiss the murder and rape of the nuns, kind of like Reagan did.

Not to mention a CIA statement stated the country the Contras were from actually wanted the Contras to kill people working with the poor "just in case" they were subversive.

@SatanBurger he truly is a Karen
iDivorcedKaren · 36-40, M
@basilfawlty89 absolutely Karens only respect other's opinions and they've all experienced American's enemy's first hand in Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia. I'm sure both of you would absolutely understand the fight we are in better than I would
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@iDivorcedKaren To be fair, you really haven't told your experience with the Contras since you're making this about you and not about the situation that actually happened. So explain it then, I'll give you the time of day. Did those nuns have UZIs?
iDivorcedKaren · 36-40, M
@SatanBurger I only read half of what you wrote because all of it was desperate grasping straws because you're still willing to argue the atmosphere with someone that's been there for the first hand, obviously war is funded I dont think it takes more than a kindergartner to figure that out, but congrats? I've never fought a woman in my life to include all three tours but I bet you're right all of those insurgents must have been nuns especially since they practice Catholicism so strictly. And its definitely not personal, I dont know the first thing about you, but for some reason you think you know me like a book.

The real truth is muslim men in 3of world countries are raised that all whites are enemies of their way of life and regular practice, which I witnessed on a regular basis was the rape of adolescent boys. As it was explained to me by an Afghan interpreter it is a right of passage to become a man that the village first have sex with them, "all men must endure this" You can choose to accept facts or choose to be ignorant. I really dont care either way
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@iDivorcedKaren Reagan funded a group called the Mujahideen, a far right ISLAMIC death squad which went into the Taliban after, again this post is about Reagan correct and not YOUR personal experiences???? I've never met an Muslim that hated white people but in war territories where the Islamic state is controlling them and they don't graduate from school, I'm sure it does and so I don't doubt you in the least. In Africa, they kill children suspected of being witches still, again in territories where they don't graduate from school and are in higher poverty, I'd expect that.

But I find that's it's irrelevant because we're talking about Reagan and you seem to be jumping all over the place.

Anyways, how do you feel knowing Reagan supplied money to Islamic insurgents?
iDivorcedKaren · 36-40, M
@SatanBurger you dont wish to comment on the facts in presented that completely debunk your argument
iDivorcedKaren · 36-40, M
@SatanBurger why should we continue the debate?
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@iDivorcedKaren That depends, is this post about Reagan or about you because you're making it all about you and refuse to stay on subject. I actually did say I don't think it's your fault for being at war, multiple times so stop. I understand there's bad people in the world.

How do you feel about Reagan supplying people who went into the Taliban, answer the question. This post is about Reagan, do you not know what you post?
iDivorcedKaren · 36-40, M
@SatanBurger I ldk because you got soooooo far off subject and you are soooooo close minded and soooooo ignorant Idk what your argument even is it wasnt worth reading because you arent willing to hear the opinions of those that actually have knowledge rather than internet opinions. You're literally a toddler to me at this point. You've completely blown your respectability with me because you are quiet frankly soooooo misguided and close minded idc what you think. I only care to debate with mature, intelligent adults. So now I just wish you good luck
iDivorcedKaren · 36-40, M
@SatanBurger you are literally a breathing waste of time but good luck and I hope you later begins to allow your personal experience to influence your opinions instead of internet writers and bloggers
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@iDivorcedKaren Lol all you got are insults. You can't stick to one subject, the Contras that Reagan supported and the Islamic militants he also supported. Those were two issues I did not bounce on and you made it all about you.
iDivorcedKaren · 36-40, M
@SatanBurger yes it's very smart to discount the opinions of those that live it versus those that form inexperienced opinions 😂
iDivorcedKaren · 36-40, M
Good luck in life ma'am
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@iDivorcedKaren Your experiences in war has nothing to do with the subject of Reagan supporting Contras or Islamic militants lmao, you can't tell the difference Karen?
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
@iDivorcedKaren erm...you realize you get white Muslims right? Or have you never heard of Albania or Bosnia?
iDivorcedKaren · 36-40, M
@basilfawlty89 😂 yeah America's Military is completely unaware that there are multiple countries that practice the same religions. When did I say anything about color tho?
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
@iDivorcedKaren you said Muslims hate white people. That's stupid as there are white Muslims, so it's categorically wrong.
iDivorcedKaren · 36-40, M
@basilfawlty89 I said nothing of the sort but your type are pretty good at twisting your opponent's words to fit your narrative
