  1. Macron is making the same case as Neville Chamberlain when he appeased pre-WW2 Germany with the carving up of Czechoslovakia.

  2. Another example of left wingers who are going to sink the economy.

  3.  @luiginb  The mining companies are bringing investments and jobs. The leftie government officials are just lining their pockets with the tax revenue. Why do you think only the "socialist" in Cuba and Venezuela are rich?

  4. American companies have a hard time operating in countries where bribery is commonplace. The Chinese don't have any issues paying bribes out in or out of China.

  5.  @rottenrobbie8466  What a joke. Minerals were only discovered 10 years ago, and the country is too unstable to access them. In addition, Afghanistan is a money pit that America sent $billions of aid into without anything economic benefit -- the country's only major export is opium.

  6. India has all the resources to past China, but they spend all their resources on red tape, subsidies, and protectionism instead of infrastructure, education, and health care.

  7.  @lucadesanctis563  Yes, but the West under the assumption that the economic growth would lead to people demanding political growth. Instead China has grown militarily and economicly while doubling down on their backwards form of government.

  8. @Corrupt Russian  NATO has pledged about 100 tanks. They need to more than double that to beat Russia as the main supplier of tanks to Ukraine. However, the tanks left behind in the Kiev and Kharkiv retreats are of poorer quality than western tanks.

  9.  @dairebulson7122  Just because there are coup attempts in Latin America doesn't mean the CIA was involved. In fact, left-wing anti-American politicians have attempted coups in both Venezuela and Bolivia. Unless you think the CIA was part of the coup attempts of Chavez, Maduro, and Morales.

  10.  @andrewbenbow9257  I would say billions of dollars in financial aid to Iraq would clearly show how baseless a metaphor that Iraq was "left on the side of the road" is.

  12.  @alvarorecobo821  Washing machine sales in Kazakhstan up 600% since Russia has been sanctioned. Ukrainians have been opening up Russian missles and tanks and finding components of dishwasher and refrigerators.

  13. Apathy is the friend to dictatorships. However, it hard to remain apathetic when your friends, your family, and yourself are dying for a pointless war.

  14.  @karld1791  The States has the same issue. It has gotten to the point where adderall abuse is common to make up for the extra hours worked with less sleep.

  16. It not that innovative. Turkey has been using the threat of sending Syrian refugees to Europe for about a decade now. North Korea also uses the refugee threat against China.

  17.  @faridbahal1  My friend's family is from Iran, and he goes by Moe. It is funny how many Americans assume that Moe is his birth name instead of a Anglo nickname for Mohammed.

  18. This will probably end in a frozen conflict where Ukraine won't have the capability to take Crimea or the Donbas, while Russia won't have the ability to hold any land beyond their 2014 holdings.

  19.  @charlesc3894  1% of a eighteen hundred billion dollar economy is absolutely massive. Remember, South Korea is the 7th biggest economy is the world.

  20.  @inginer20  With freedom of movement and free trade, who cares? Hasn't old world thinking of ethnic nationalism caused enough suffering over history?

  21. They are probably trying to recruit children, because they don't have enough living soldiers to take over Ukraine.

  22.  @migo2444  What alternative reality are you living in? Venezuela is still exporting oil. They just can't get much oil from the ground because their equipment is too old, and no one wants invest in the country, so they can't get money for new equipment.

  27.  @PutXi_Whipped  It's only funny, because President Pooh had the great firewall censor "Pooh", because it hurt his little feelings.

  28. Can you blame them? Poland suffered under the Soviet Union, and now Russian voters keep electing a former-KGB agent who talks of reviving Russian glory as he invades his neighbors.

  29. The oligarch issue is more of a problem of bought politicians crushing competition, so the oligarchs don't have innovative or drop prices.

  30. ​​ @poetryaddict1  Because most African issues can be traced back to Europeans colonialism. It easier to blame unpopular Europeans than Russia - the champion of autocrat leaders on the world stage.

  31. To be fair, there isn't a bunch of "hungry" people in America stealing food to survive, and you have to steal over a certain dollar amount to get arrested. I worked a supermarket for almost a decade, so I can promise you the people who get arrested for stealing deserve a night in jail. The food they steal is never bread and potatoes, but instead they steal ribeyes, snow crabs, and boose.

  35.  @djangokill65  The American model involves hiring locals who can then spend money in their community. The Chinese model involves importing Chinese workers who then send all the money back to China, while the local Africans get nothing. In the Chinese model all the money goes to China and the African officials taking kickbacks.

  36. There are not empty food shelves in America. In addition, the ruble is a worthless currency.

  37. It is more of an issue of importing large amount of people with zero skills into a wealthy country. America has large Muslim communities that do very well because they are made up of educated professionals. The only problem groups are the ones that originated as Somali refugees as they have little opportunities and few engagements with people outside of their community. Poor economic conditions and lack of opportunities is always a recipe for crime.

  39. It also seems immoral to expell them if they want to remain French citizens -- which is what the independence votes indicate.

  40. The military industry is a huge export market for Russia. Weapons and oil are the only things people want from Russia, because corruption has destroyed every other industry.

  44. So why does the UK want to get rid of them? I remember pro-Brexit groups complaining about EU rules forcing them to take Polish immigrants. Is it simply xenophobia or something more complex?

  45.  @hughjass1044  Non-competes are nearly impossible to enforce. Usually, the employee just needs to move to a different geography.

  47. Good Puerto Rico can pay their Federal Income taxes and pay off their own debt instead of leeching off the mainland.

  48.  @Wilhelmofdeseret  I am just pointing out factual inaccuracies of claiming that poorer nations were forced to take a majority of the refugees when they were asked to take a smaller amount than the northern countries. In addition, many refused to take even the smaller amount.
