If you can’t tell that’s satire, and rather exaggerated satire at that, then I don’t know what to tell ya. Well, maybe there are a few things. This place can make a man lose sight of real vs make believe, because frankly there IS some of the craziest shite you’ve ever seen read here, and it’s meant genuinely by the authors.

However there’s also a lot of playing pretend and mind gaming found here as well. Sometimes it’s difficult to differentiate between them. But in this instance, note the lack of other criticism of the same nature as yours….a textbook sign of an unannounced acknowledgment by the majority that mine was indeed satire. Otherwise, you’d have seen much more of what you have there.

Are there downvoters? Obviously. But who knows what they actually are thinking because they didn’t have the chest to speak their minds, unlike yourself. I like your spirit.

P.S. If it’s me who’s being trolled here, then you’re a badass.

I don't see the relevance of a US statutory definition. In common usage, "genocide is the deliberate, often systematic, destruction of a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group."

There are approximately 100 million Christians in Nigeria, and estimates of the number killed by Boko Haran in the last 20 years range between 50,000 and 100,000. For the math-challenged, that is somewhere between 1/20 and 1/10 of ONE PERCENT of the Christians in the country. That is not a "genocide." It is a rounding error.

If Hitler had killed 6,000 Jews rather than 6 million, would you consider THAT to be a "genocide?" It would be an atrocity, certainly, but not a "genocide."

In absolute terms, 50,000 certainly IS a significant number and undoubtedly criminal. But if Boko Haran is trying to kill/destroy all of the Christians in Nigeria, they are doing a piss-poor job of it.

For millennia, Africans have been killing other Africans over religion and a dozen other justifications. This is just not any of our business, unless we are going to engage in similar rescue operations for EVERY religious minority in EVERY country on the globe, and I have absolutely no interest in our doing that.

At some point the muslim extremists need to have their pee pees schwacked.

Bro, everyone knows that there is no reason ever for America to use its military for anything whatsoever short of an imminent invasion of our mainland - if and only if the invading forces are within 20 or so nautical miles of our coastline. Our military has no business going beyond 20 miles, ever, for anything. Nothing beyond 20 miles of our shorelines has anything to do with us. Let the rest of the world do its own thing. We’ll do ours. Oh and anything beyond what I’ve explained above renders you a neocon jerkoff.

This is the dumbest thing I've seen posted on here. 20 miles? What about all of the offshore drilling rigs that are over 100 miles off the coast?

Good Lord, when was your sarcasm bone broken, and have you seen a physician about it?

Did our ic arm the terrorists who are killing Christians? Sadly gotta ask that, because we seem to create the issues just so we've something to intervene in, a lot of times.

I’d hazard a guess not while Trump’s been President. He seems to be taking a slightly different tack.

I'd go as far to say not any president actually organized those strategies. Ic seems to have been working independently from any checks and balances for several decades.
