  1. Can someone tell me how long Ukraine has existed as a country in the last 1,000 years of Eastern European History? Because it feels like one of the 13 Confederate States in the 1860s, whose independence we're backing because we're attempting to destabilize a foe, while taking our eye of the real threat. As an Polish-American, I've got ZERO love for Russia, Putin or their Empire. But from a basic sense of history, I don't perceive Ukraine as a country. 4 years in the 1760s and 20 years in the 2000s, doesn't make it a country, it just makes it a 'currently independent' breakaway State. This also goes for the other former Soviet Republics that probably need to be reabsorbed by the Russians. And no, I don't want Russia to get stronger. But I'd rather the Russians absorb the Stans than allow China to absorb them. I'm a lot more worried about them becoming Chinese provinces/puppets, than them being Russian territories. But that might just be me.

  5. The Apartheid State of Israel, has a certain poetic ring to it. Well, the U.S. isn't going to oppose it. The United States does not object to Apartheid when it is an ally, the same goes for war crimes or any crimes against humanity. After all, people who live in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones.

  6.  @arwing20  Since you're taking the accusatory tone, here's my answer. Pretty sure that's what Great Britain did before Japan did. Have you heard of the Great Bengal Famine of 1770. The English murdered 10 million people in 4 years or about 1/3rd of the population. How about the Opium Wars, where the English forced China to open their cities to having drugs sold to their citizens. The Japanese don't hold a candle to the English. And yes, Great Britain also built concentration camps before the Japanese and Germans did, the Germans didn't come up with the ideas, they just recycled successful policies of the English. The only difference is that the English didn't lose a war, so they were never punished for their Crimes Against Humanity.

  7.  @Minchya  Which country? North Korea? Or South Korea? Because invading South Korea would mean that Beijing would be wiped out and the Chinese navy would sink to the bottom of the ocean in a 2 week naval clearance of the Chinese coastline. Invading North Korea would see some insane results as well. So again, which county?

  9. This is what happens when you break deals because you trust a Zionist, with a chip on his shoulder. We can lay this at the feet of Bibi, it was his play, carried out by his White House puppet, Donald. Hope Israel enjoys a U.S. embassy in Jerusalem, as Iran refines its nukes. You guys made sure Donnie won the election in Florida, and now you get to reap what you sowed in 2016. :D

  10. Another food for thought, just an episode ago, you guys were discussing the inefficiency of Chinese factories compared to U.S. factories. So a Chinese factory spends $1,000 to produce an a rifle. The same quality rifle in the U.S. costs $300. So when the China spends $1,000 on a rifle, they are getting 1 rilfe, while the U.S. that spends 3 times more than China is buying $3,000 worth of rifles or 10 rifles. The U.S. might be spending 3 times more than China on its military budget but that's not the same as get 3 times more equipment. The U.S. has production efficiencies that make it 1 vs 10 rifles bought not 1 vs 3.

  11. Not sure I'd call this slavery. The % taken by the government is reinvested into training and educating future doctors and in the U.S. it would be simply called taxes based on national investment to educated said doctor. Universities cost money. And the U.S. has been guilty of doing a brain drain against many of our allied nations. So while this may be a bit unsavory to us, our doctors in the U.S. often have a $500,000 debt by the end of their med school, which does not include the cost of their primary (grade school) and secondary (high school) education which are free to the students but not to the taxpayers.

  15. Yeah, it does. Not sure what sort of a graphic they used but it is a hard to understand. The problem is that they are showing two parties in a 10 party system, rather than showing one against the other.

  16.  @normanberg9940  "I never accused the founding fathers of any of this" "Yes I am fully aware that GW was a mason. It's writ large all over DC." - You are talking about a Founding Father, you not me. "You know what else those leftist liberals believed in? Holding slaves, while the conservative Britons were spending their valuable treasure putting an end to that vile system." - Again you are talking about the Founding Fathers, you not me. "Do you know what else those leftist liberals would be responsible for in the coming years. Secession, segregation, lynching, Jim Crowe, the KKK." - Again, the same paragraph, accusing the Founding Fathers, you are accusing the Founding Fathers of secession, segregation, lynching, Jim Crowe, the KKK, NOT ME. Reading comprehension is your friend, don't do illegal drugs, take your meds.

  17.  @LuisRomeroLopez  Fair point. Although I will stand by the meaning behind "we play one on TV" since we pretend to be better than we are on an almost daily basis.

  18.  @LuisRomeroLopez  I am almost positive that Canada has the best on the Continent. :D I will however grant you, that we are not a Banana Republic, like Nicaragua, either. So the American 'Democratic' model may be better than Mexico, it still leaves much to be desired. But I've heard some people say they have a saying here in the U.S. "You're my Mississippi." This means that as bad as they have it, at least there's always Mississippi to make them look better. Venezuela is Latin and South America's Mississippi but no one should pat themselves on the back that at least they aren't Venezuela. Decent countries don't pat themselves on the back for being better than international failures, and instead aim to reach the top. The U.S. has stopped aiming to reach the top, hence my disappointment.

  19.  @john41690  No, stating a fact is NOT propaganda. Stating the facts on behalf of ONLY ONE SIDE is propaganda. The German newspapers of the German liberators of Poland called my grandfather a terrorist and an insurgent. I'm sure every time a German soldier got shot, he was murdered by Polish assassin. My grandmother, on the other hand was an unpaid-intern being given gainful employment and being civilized in a German factory. And the numbers that were tattooed on some people's wrists were just administrative efficiency. So spare me the bullchip. Facts are facts but only if you talk about all facts. It is the equivalent of blaming the guy who swung first but failing to mention that the guy who got punched, first walked up and spat in his face, without any provocation.

  20.  @blondie7240  I know. I've heard it all before. 1. Anyone who doesn't give a Carte Blanche to Israel, to perpetrate War Crimes is an Anti-Semite. 2. Anyone who calls out the Apartheid State in Israel is an Anti-Semite. 3. Anyone who doesn't subscribe to the State Propaganda machine, is an Anti-Semite. 4. Anyone who thinks for himself is an Anti-Semite. 5. Anyone who has an opinion that doesn't Kow Tow to Israel's political agenda is an Anti-Semite. We know, we're all Anti-Semites. As soon as we voice disagreement, we are branded as such. Any corporation in the U.S. that joins in a boycott against Israel is branded as such. We get it, Freedom of Speech and the 1st Amendment are privileges and NOT rights in the U.S., and as such are subject to Israeli seizure. Congratulations on me not giving a duck.

  21. Fair question for non Americans or Americans with Alzheimer's, I don't know which one you are and I don't care to speculate. President Trump lead from the front, any and all efforts to end social distancing, end mask wearing, and end shelter in place efforts for multiple States by vocally and by Tweet supporting the "Liberate Michigan" "Liberate Virginia" and "Liberate Minnesota," IN MAY. In fact, he made a concentrated effort to undermine the efforts made by individual States to end or limit the pandemic early. He also cut Federal funding to many of these States and contact tracing is non-existent because of his efforts. Further more, President Obama left a 'play-book' for the future residents of the White House on how to deal with pandemics (he had to deal with Ebola and Bush had to deal with SARS during their time in office) President Obama also left a team of scientists and White House advisors to advise the President with these sort of outbreaks, so that he would have a team of professionals, ready to go at a moments notice. = President Trump fired the team of advisers and ignored the 'pandemic play-book' and instead undermined State governments, who were left to fight COVID-19 by themselves. He further inflamed idiots in some of these States, with his rhetoric, to the point that some wanted to kidnap the Governor in Michigan just weeks ago.

  24.  @tsuchan  I provided a time stamp, you can click on it and it will take you to that point in the video, Grant says "international interventions and special operations" are different from wars. Well, both Iraqi wars were "special operations" and not wars. Operation Desert Storm and Enduring Freedom, lol. So was Afghanistan, Vietnam, and Korea. As to the reason, I think it has to do with the level of authority that Congress is willing to relinquish to the President of the United States. I'm not sure but I believe in a state of 'war' the Executive's war time powers, extend beyond the battlefield and into civilian authority. But I don't remember exactly, since Congressional Law is not my expertise, only history.

  25. Well, he is probably the first President in 40 years to not request a declaration of war. Presidents don't actually have the authority to declare war, that is a right reserved for Congress. I know that it's a minor technicality but nevertheless, no President has ever declared war on anyone. :D

  27. The same goes for China. The reality is that even though the Chinese are allowed to have more kids now, when you live in an apartment that would be considered inhumane for an American inmate, there's not much in the way of room, for a family to grow. And they've been building jail cells for their 'workers' in China, and there are no schools or recreation, for the next generation. Factory slaves aren't even allowed to jump out of the window to commit suicide because there are nets underneath, to make sure the production never stops.

  28. Crimea was part of the nation of Ukraine since 1991. That's it. Before that, it was Russian clay or administrated by Ukraine SSR (which was also Russian clay.) If NATO is to expand into Ukraine, and Crimea is to be Ukrainian, then Crimea would become NATO clay and a potential staging ground for US troops, as close as 500 miles from Moscow (Kharkiv is 500 miles by road from Moscow, I googled it.) As a historian, every time a powerful military was on Russia's doorstep, an invasion followed. Napoleon in the 1800s. Hitler in the 1940s. My guess is that Russians have a trauma when it comes to powerful militaries setting up shop on their doorstep and that has caused this entire problem. My prediction is, if it looks like they are about to lose Ukraine or Ukraine is about to become NATO, the Russians will first incinerate about 20 million Ukrainians. It will be a sad day and probably the last day of modern humanity. All because the US wants to expand its network of alliances closer and closer to Russia's border. As an American, I am not amused because I'm paying for it, while the Republiturds are talking Social Security cuts, as someone born in Poland, I am worried about my family in Poland and Germany, and finally as someone with extended family (mother's side) in Eastern Ukraine I am sad because I most likely have family under the Russian boot heel all because US Senators and Presidents don't know how to respect other countries' 'RED LINES.'

  29.  @ab-gu2nh  Before the current iteration of the Internet, long-distance networking between computers was first accomplished in a 1969 experiment by two research teams at UCLA and Stanford. - The Encyclopedia Britannica seems to think it was two Universities in the Golden State of California in 1959 but you know, the Encyclopedia Britannica is a bastion of American propaganda and all... If you are talking about Tim Berners-Lee, he was born in 1955 and was 14 years old at the time. :D

  32.  @friendlyatheist9589  Most of the United States' Presidents are and were of English origins. It doesn't make them English. Most Australian and Canadian PMs were of English origins, and they're not English either. So, I wouldn't call these folks Indians. Especially since most of them arrived before 'India' was India. Heck, I doubt we even know which language they even speak? Do they speak Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali? So would you really call them Indian? Or would you call them people from a single region? And that's why I said South Asian and made a point to NOT call them Indians.

  34. When you oppress and suppress your own population through censorship, monitoring, etc. then any visitor will face the same treatment. Why would I spend my free time and my hard earned money, being oppressed, suppressed, censored and monitored? And what sort of a depressed person would do that? Macau is the Las Vegas of China... Las Vegas is the Las Vegas of the rest of the world, there's a good reason for that.

  35. A US Iowa Class battleship from the 1940s could displace 60,000 tons. A modern Aegis Class destroyers displace about 11,000 tons. It should not surprise anyone if 1 modern US Arleigh Burke destroyer is all it would take to annihilate the entirety of the Japanese navy in the 1940s or possibly the entirety of the US Pacific Fleet in the 1940s. (Would Aegis be a better categorization? I know that's the weapons system but it just sounds better imho.) So counting ships, or counting tonnage, is all fun and cute for video game enthusiasts but doctrines, experience and quality of ships can be decades apart and would be the primary deciding factor in determining true power. A modern US Marine with a fully automatic rifle is about a 1,000 times more deadly than his 1780s counterpart, ooh, I said something tremendous that no one could have guessed... said no one... ever.

  37.  @superskaria  Broadband is available upto 30mbps and cellular is available at 10 Mbps....!!! - Exactly, it is available, no one is arguing, the question is, is it accessible.

  40. The Chinese Model isn't new or revolutionary. Charles Ponzi invented it in the 1920s. Their "new and revolutionary' model is called a Ponzi Scheme here in the West. The people who will be left holding the bag, will be the Chinese people. They will hold Chinese debt which will bankrupt them all. If I were Chinese and could buy gold, that's what I'd be doing right now with all my Yuan or moving to America with my USDs.

Banning foreigners, banning whites, banning people with skills, people with education, and you think these new policies are going to make Tanzania richer? How did these policies work out for you and the rest of Zimbabwe? Do you know how they define insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again, while expecting different results. Same tribal/nationalist, retarded shit but somehow this time it will work out and his protectionist policies will make things better for the people, if only they get rid of those 'other people' and silence all opposition.

  42.  @benm5913  The English certainly did not invent the modern concentration camps. But I never gave them credit for such. The Spanish general Wheyler gets that particular honor with his reconcentrado camps. Regarding the Boer War's prisoner camps, between 18,000 and 28,000 Boers died, 80% of them children, so tread carefully with your bucket of whitewash. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Boer_War_concentration_camps#/media/File:LizzieVanZyl.jpg Enjoy this one, I'm sure you'll find a way to excuse this filth. As for the Bengal Famine, emptying every village's granary and forcing the locals to grow opium and tea, while only allowing minimal food to be grown was a guaranteed way of causing a famine, during any critical crop failure. Again, tread carefully with that bucket of whitewash.

  46.  @MegaRazzzz  You are a moron. The Russians did out engineer the Germans. The T-34's slopped armor was better than anything Germany had until 1944. The Russians begun by losing the war due to the officer purge of the 1930s and poor planning and administration, as well as paranoia which did not allow their Generals and supplies, to be in the vicinity of their armies. Their munitions, food and fuel not being where their armies were, prevented these armies from rising up against Stalin but it also made them incapable of protecting the Soviet Union. As for China, when 8 Grandparents have 4 Parents (their children) to have 1 Grandson and 1 Granddaughter, the horde mentality you speak of, is an easy way of eliminating the next generation of your people. When of out 14 adults only 1 of them is young enough to be a soldier, your country is flocked. So China is going to have itself a bad time in the nearby future and is not ready for a war. As for the future of modern warfare, you can put up a 1,000,000 Chinese soldiers on the battlefield, they'll die just as quickly as Al-Qaeda does when they get hit by drone bombs. The moron, like you, who arms a million Chinese soldiers with $50 rifles, is the moron who sends the future of his nation to get wiped out. This is why Taiwan is safe. Its not the Taiwanese soldiers on the beaches of the island, its the drones that will sink every transport attempting a beach landing on its shores, that will win that war. As for access to the Indian Ocean, the US sub fleet would have a field day, literally shooting fish in a barrel. US naval supremacy is not its surface fleet, its the American Wolf Packs that would starve China in a 6 month time period. The infrastructure isn't there to use roads from Russia and both Russia and China are NET IMPORTERS of food. :D Now back to school for you, dumb dumb.

Cleaning up the mess on the other hand, appears to take a lot more of each. Turkey has a long way to repair the damage that the knucklehead has inflicted. However, if the Turks think Sharia law should rule Turkey, then they should have to live with the consequences of Sharia law economics. :D
