This is just the English version of a Spanish channel. That's why it's called VisualPolitik EN. EN for English.

@Gary-bz1rf Actually the Spanish mostly won't be paying it back, the Germans will be. Most of the money isn't from taxes, it's from Eurobonds aka debt. Those bonds have value cos they're in the name of the EU, not Spain, which includes high value members like Germany and the Netherlands. When it comes to paying it back, it'll be the Germans and Dutch who do so cos Spain is a net recipient of EU funds, while Germany and the Netherlands are net providers. The Spanish will just get chastised again.

@adammac6386 You can already vote for people like him. They're called libertarians, and most countries have parties dedicated to the ideology. But they've never amounted to much, cos the truth is the only folks who can stand libertarians are other libertarians.

z Lots of empires have conquered Afghanistan. The Greeks did it. The Parthians did it. The Persians did it. The British tried, failed, and so gave it that label in order to not feel bad about themselves and save face in front of all the other world powers. Plus even they eventually reached an acceptable state of affairs eventually, albeit not involving direct annexation. The Russians and now Americans are happily following suit, shielding their failures for the same reason. Afghanistan is not unconquerable, the west is just bad at it.
