1st, the united states never funded the taliban. we founded the resistance fighters that were fighting the soviet union and when they pulled out, the resistance broke and the taliban was formed from one of the factions. bin laden was one of those resistance fighters and so, yes the US indirectly funded bin laden. Second, yes we funded bin laden by buying oil cause the whole fucking country of Saudia Arabia is related to each other and the money we gave them they gave to bin laden. and Hussien is a psychopathic homicidal insaine son of a bitch
and on the history lesson, i am going to try to settle this once and for all. i am paraphraseing from the book "WW2 A Photographic History"by David Boyle, so I am not making this stuff up.
19 July 1940-Hitler warned that if Britian didn't accept his peace terms there would be "unending suffering and misery" Britian rejects peace terms
Operation Sea Lion (invasion of Britian) set for 15 September
13 August 1940-germans launch 1st air attack and the Battle of Britian is on
October 1940 (no specific day given) Hitler postpones invasion indefinantily due to fact that air superiority has not been gained. Battle of Britian over. up to this point germans lost 1733 aircraft Br. 915 the 'Blitz' begins
June 1941-air raids on Britian slack off as germany prepares for attack on russia
22 June 1941 Hitler launches attack on Russia
(end of book)
now, 8 months after the battle of britian is over, hitler and stalin are at war. untill then, they were mistrustful allies. and personally, if someone plans an invasion and loses 1733 planes trying to acheive air superiority so he can launch said invasion, i really don't think it is just a swat at annoying incects and being distracted by russia. and hitler did expect operation overlord, he just thought it would come at Calais, not normandy. and in the western theater of operations there were some of the most elite divisions of the german army, including the Panzer Lehr division. and if it wasn't for american forces and massive courage, guts, and loss of life, and stupidity of Hitler, the war would have been lost
here endith the lesson
