Reagan was a total disaster and disgrace. His best acting job though. crazy covert crap foreign policy and a giveaway to the rich at home. And started this disgraceful propaganda machine.

 

^^^^
A ridiculous propaganda machine and bologna conspiracy theories and misinformation phony scandals that go nowhere in the real world.

 

The few that agree with me are actually every media around the world except for Rupert Murdoch properties

 

This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedevere. Explain again how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes...?

 

Manafort Cohen Stone Gates etc etc are in prison.

 

This is the old learning. You people are the new learning obviously. You and Rupert Murdoch and Rush Limbaugh. LOL

 

This:



It was true 20 years ago, and even more true today.

 

Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say Ni at will to old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress in this period in history.

More from the ridiculous propaganda machine and bologna conspiracy theories and misinformation phony scandals that go nowhere in the real world.

Iran and Iraq remember war that cost more than a million lives

Sep 23, 2010 · Parade to commemorate anniversary of Iran-Iraq war in Tehran. Members ... Umm Muhammad wept quietly as she remembered loved ones who had died.

 

They don't know the number. It is not agreed upon. It was a covert GOP Mastermind idiot operation after all.

 

You said information about the Iran-Iraq was is classified - how can these numbers be credible?

 

All those nations you list exist today and have for decades. So they were not "destroyed".

 

Yeah I guess we can just ignore winning the Cold War and providing the U.S. with its first real prosperity in a decade and a half.

Facts. Not propaganda as your typical sanctimonious reply will say it is.

 

The hab

We have a situation where left- media simply ignores news that doesn't fit the appetite of it's viewers- leaving them with a half-story, and even the half they report is cosmetically adjusted for the purpose.
It is the practice of the left-political minded to limit it's input to left-friendly news sources, and deny everything that conflicts for no other reason. This combination, virtually a collusion between viewers and providers of what is loosely called news, creates one illusion after another for them; an entire fantasy world.

Example:
The incident last summer where Covington High School student Nick Sandmann was attacked by the MSM as being responsible for confrontations. Sandmann sued CNN fro $250 M in damages. That lawsuit has been settled by CNN now- and while exact numbers are protected, it's known to be at least a 7-figure settlement.

While CNN was eager to blame the right (Sandmann was wearing his MAGA hat) and made him out to be some kind of agitator and made a public target of him, other video from other sources showed that to be totally untrue. So- did they report that they had paid him for those damages? No. They just ignore the mia-culpa and pretend it didn't happen. Those getting their info via umbilical cords to left media alone have no idea it did. That's what happens to you when you close your mind to facts and avoid looking at the bigger picture.

End of story is your choice to not read beyond what you want to hear. That has nothing to do with fact or reality- it is a persons choice to deceive themselves for the comfort it provides.

You said the Iran-Iraq War cost "millions and millions" of lives.

Your source doesn't even claim two million.

So you were wrong weren't you.

 

You said information about the Iran-Iraq was is classified - how can these numbers be credible?

 

We're all Lucky his bluster and bologna didn't bring the hardliners back to the Soviet Union. Gorbachev ended the Soviet Union with glasnost and perestroika. Yes we had an economic comeback when he cut the top tax rate from 70 to 50, but he ruined it cutting it to 28% going out the door. A corrupt giveaway to the rich and a screw job for everyone else. Only his propaganda machine makes this mess possible. The worst inequality and upward mobility ever is not trivia. LOL aaarrrggghhh.

 

They are all guesses

 

Millions of casualties sorry. And it is still up in the air how many.

 

Point is Reagan help them with biological and chemical weapons and basically gave them to Saddam. 150000 Iranians dead by gas and 360 other gassings we don't know about.

 

Over history, the number would be huge- long before the west came along, these countries were killing each other. The 1980 war with Iran killed 500,000 soldiers. Iraq has been involved in 20 wars in the last 100 years. Only two of them involved us.
