So you were wrong about teh religion and you were wrong about the western powers. it is amazing inside of one hour you recanted half of what you said. now lets work on the other half. specifically which puppets are western powers creating? and specifical;ly which western powers are we talking about?

no i'm not wrong about the religion issue, i pointed it out with regard to the Karen ethnic group,it seems u don't understand my points.
the puppets are created at their wish, the Shans can be used as puppets with interventionist intentions to counter balance the chinas influence in burma.
ok answer me with this:- didn't the americans played the religion card in early days of american involvement in vietnam???

The karen were not made christian by the americans. they were made christian by the british. but thechristians are the ones fighting for democracy and independence, not the buddhist karen who are drug runners.

No, as a matter of fact the only catholic president of US was assasinated, so there was no religious card to play. the catholics set up their own armies, as did the cao dai and hoa hao because they were against the communists and this had nothing to do with the americans or any western power. many of them were anti western also.

i'm not arguing about the political status of the catholics in american society,the americans did have a campaign to use the catholics for their interest, to build a support base for the pro american Ngo Diem's government, a democratic election at that time would have been in favour of the communists.
what do you think that makes buddhist karen drug runners and christian ones freedom fighters??
how did you cross the border?? i'm sure u did it the illegal way.....

the buddist karen armed faction works for spdc i think this because everyone who knows about burma knows this. they are a proxy army for spdc. how do yuo not know that? you dont seem to have ever been to or researched the places you have so many opinions about.

since you obviously know absolutely nothing about this war, the buddhist karen faction is called The Democratic Karen Buddhist Army (DKBA) and they are OFFICIALLY that means they say it, i say it, SPDC says, everyone agrees (except you) they are officially classified as a ceasefire army, which, by definition, means they are still under arms but are not fighting the SPDC. they work for the SPDC.

This group was reportedly given territory inside of Burma to rule over in exchange. according to ALL news sources "They played a significant part in the capture of Manerplaw, a rebel Karen stronghold headquarter." you can and should look it up
