Its proof yet again that no matter what your tribe, culture, nation or political system - there is no greater threat to any society than its own fanatics.

@mohwe1007 never forget that what you think you said might NOT be how others see it and especially how others might hijack it its what makes any references to Hitler or religion especially dangerous because its so easy for people to read it the wrong way or use it the wrong way from what you intended Social media has only made the problem worse. It didn't democratise information it democratised misinformation.

YES - Its proof yet again that no matter what your tribe, culture, nation or political system, there is no greater threat to any society than its own fanatics. I remember a TV mini-series (many years ago - 1981) about the Siege of Masada. In one scene Peter Strauss playing the Zealot Leader Eleazar Ben Yair meets Peter O'Toole playing the Roman general Lucius Flavius Silva and Eleazar tells him that if he wants to destroy the Jews simply leave them alone and very quickly they will start fighting among themselves. Look at America right now. We might not see it that clearly because the effect took 30+ years to surface but by winning the Cold War and with it the collapse of the Soviet Empire they lost that 1 major threat. Yeah sure China has sort of stepped up as a challenger and there was the war on terror but neither were the same threat Russia was. In the years since without that 1 real challenger the Americans have simply started fighting among themselves. Sure they had rivalries but not since the civil war have there been factions in America that actually believe that other Americans are their worst enemy imaginable. On the flip side who did more damage to Russia than the Communists. Other than how they treated their own people their industries never really developed that much. I'm an aerospace engineer and Soyuz might be old and less technically developed but its reliable. Where they truly screwed up was environmentally and the best example there is the Aral Sea disaster.

@mohwe1007 be very careful with a comment like that as at first view it could easily be taken the wrong way because you haven't given any context

@asafcassuto9152 Did you ever see or hear about the boxing match between Mike Tyson and Michael Spinks??? This is a lot like that moment just before Tyson threw that short right that still scares people 35 years and 1 day later. Everyone who was watching saw it coming including Michael Spinks and there was NOTHING anyone could do.
