OT - online conversation, your views on the meaning, please.

A report on the outcome of the recent Trump/UK/EU/Ukraine mentioned the possibility of boots on the ground as a peace force after the war.

One response was "Disgusting sending our people to be killed fighting for corrupt foreign and UK politicians."

I pointed out that what is being said by Starmer et al is not to send soldiers to fight in the war but to send troops in as a peacekeeping force AFTER the war.

The comeback was that they hadn't said that and that I was just like a politician, twisting people's words.

I pointed out that the implication was in their post and they might have meant "it would be disgusting if... ", in which case I would agree with them.

What meaning do you guys attach to "Disgusting sending our people to be killed fighting for corrupt foreign and UK politicians."

A very quick response from me, just on the words quoted: the respondent has preconceptions/POVs about 'the world' that precludes him/her providing a coherant response. I respond little enough to political comments, I'd drop this one stone dead as IMO the respondent is beyond being reasoned with. I see 1000 a day of this sort of response on fb

I wouldn't lose any sleep over someone else's interpretation of a sentence on the internet, there'll be enough for us to lose sleep over on friday.

Edit. What Andy said.

I was also told I was rude and a political agitator

Don't worry, I've left the conversation, just reporting something else that was written
