  2. A failed strategy for a failed state. Communism is driven by hatred and violence.

  3. Biofuels are unnecessary as fossil fuels are better, cheaper and don't use up extra carbon.

  4. Rich are savers too. As the rich get richer, the poor get richer too. The world is a far richer place, thanks to savers, billionaires and all the one percent. They help all the poor, leave poverty behind, that is ultimately how money works. Don't have a jaundiced view of 'capitalism', it is free markets which have helped the entire world SO much. Don't stick to dour ideologies, inform yourself of the benefits of circulating money into good projects.

  5. The USSR was a wannabe superpower, as they lacked the voluntary cohesion and popular will to be anything but another bullying Marxist Lennist torture machine, same for the wannabe CCP who've got the chinese population held in a vice grip. Guys, what goes around, comes around.

  6. Both armies fought bravely with conviction. Sadly now the Germans of today are cowards and have been de-sexed by Merkel's pseudo-sciece 'renewable' energy policy which made Germany keep sucking Pootin's member for energy....bad taste! Merkel a physicist doctorate? Must have also been bogus.

  7. Biofuel is murder on the environment Rainforest cut down to grow diesel. Corn monoculture wrecking soils for ethanol. Is all the green revolution just about government subsidies? Yes it is, and it won't work.
