  12.  @SonnyBubba  Very few peoples in the modern world are self reliant. Even those in the third world. Most people that think they are self reliant still live on trade, technologies and industrial services. Most farming today relies on industrial services and systems.

  13.  @Bearkiller72  His policy was based on classical liberal values. He talked about it extensively and also acted up it.

  18. Maybe but then maybe not. There was also a large volcano that erupted in New Zealand.

  19.  @harukrentz435  A volcanic eruption in New Zealand happened in 180 AD and ejected materials possibly up to in the air at such a volume and height that it was witnessed in Ancient Rome. It had an effect on the world's climate and resulted in untold disasters at such a scale that it may have been one of the worse in antiquity. So was Krakatoa actually worse than that?

  33. It defeated the USSR.

  34.  @polygamous1  You will hear terms like socialist healthcare, socialist roads, socialist education and so on but none of those things are actua socialism. Socialism is an economic model of common ownership of everything. It always fails because most people do not want to share everything.

  39. That is exactly what they were. They were tribal and iron age. The romans were a developed economic culture with trade and infrastructure. If the Romans had of focused on the Germanic regions they would have conquered it but they realized it was not worth focusing on backward tribes living in forests with no agricultural development. The Germanic tribes were some of the most backward regions. I do not fault the Germans for thinking that the Germanic tribes were an equal of the Romans because Germany was obliterated after WW2 and needed to keep their culture alive with something.

  42. The Roman empire was at its maximum physical size and they could not take over Germanic regions. The Romans did not lose to the Germanic tribes they simply did not have the ability to make their empire any larger.

  43.  @ExcaliburSecurityBgd  Rome had a 3 million square mile empire and they have no more ability due to the technologies of the time to expand beyond that. Rome could have defeated the Germanic tribes if they moved their resources from other areas of the empire and focused it on forest warfare against the tribes but then they would suffer economically. The Romans understood this hence why they pulled out of the regions and focused more on keeping the tribes in place so they could not raid further south.

  44.  @ExcaliburSecurityBgd  It is about risk reward. How much they put in to how much they get out. It is not just how remote something is but how productive that region would be one it is under control. Rome put itself at risk taking Briton but it did so with the understanding of a great reward due to the agricultural output of Briton. But Rome did not put effort into claiming Scotland or Ireland and built a wall stopping tribes from coming down to take the reproductive parts. Rome purposely placed the Limes were they wanted it to be. There was always some ambitious Roman who were under the impression they could extend the Limes with limited resources but it was always shown they could not.

  45.  @ExcaliburSecurityBgd  Rome did not put all its resources towards the Germanic tribes or northern British Celts because they did not see a reward in that. It was the reason why Rome never went into central Africa either. Rome did not put all its force towards fighting the Germanic tribes. Rome's main focus was keeping the structure of its Limes as strong and relevant as possible. Rome did the exact same thing with Scotland and England building fortified Limes between the two places. Germanic tribes were no different from the Scoti and Rome treated them the exact same way. Rome had limitations with its transport network.

  46. Wildfires are very common in certain parts of the USA. So people need to get a grip.

  47.  @Enoo-wynn  It USSR was squashed by Reagan's international efforts including isolating it economically in ways not done prior to that. Reagan also helped to stop the Communists from expanding in Africa and South America. The Star Wars program also meant that the USSR could not keep up with the grown of military technology.

  48. Socialism has been attempted hundreds of times with a 100% failure rate.
