  1. Bill and Mallinder Gates do. And India, along with Africa, is their testing ground.

  2.  @rogerbrownreacts8528  using worthless monopoly money which it conjures out of thin air.

  3. LET'S BE CLEAR! The USA has NOT withdrawn its forces as it still has thousands of mercenaries (euphemistically referred to as private contractors), paramilitary death squads and intelligence assets who remain in the country, as well as special forces who will operate in the country, not to mention drones.

  4. Interesting fella was that Lenin.

  5. And his age and health probably count against him too. And getting a job during an economic recession only compounds the problem.

  6.  @shiblabingham3026  Yes, but tackling poverty might mean having to create a world where rich, privileged people aren't so rich and privileged. And the rich and privileged (read powerful) will resist that.

  7.  @GyeongmiBaeb  Culture also plays a big role as well.

  8. But I bet you don't mind one bit when it comes to exploiting them and their resources to make yourself and your country rich.

  9.  @kingwinter2025  A Guaranteed Minimum Income set at an adequate level combined by free or subsidised housing and utilities. A whole restructuring of the capitalist system to meet genuine human needs instead of the artificial ones that revolve around consumption and production.

  10. Blitzkrieg, Russian style!

  11. The Taliban actually ended opium production when they took over their country. In doing so they cut off a major source of funding for US intelligence and money laundering (which props up the banking system). One of the reasons they were invaded in the first place and one of the reasons they are as they are.

  12. Blaming Hamas is like blaming native Americans like Geronimo of the Apache for resisting US settlers stealing their lands.

  13.  @pastryshack551  People often being found dead of starvation in Japan, a country considered by westerners as being the richest and most developed of Asian countries? Where did you get that information?

  14.  @edwardyang8254  Not entirely wasted. As western propaganda aimed at a western audience (including westernised foreign students at Oxbridge) it's quite good.

  15. What can one expect from a client kingdom.

  16. That's why elitists hate populists so much.

  17.  @augustus331  Who did you support in Yugoslavia? ... In Libya? ... In Syria? ... In Sudan? ... In Afghanistan? ... In Iraq? ... In Iran? ... In Lebanon? ... In Palestine? ... In Panama? ... In all the places the USA and its client states and protégés?

  18. The Ukrainian government is a puppet of the USA so it can't stop the war against its own people.

  19. Overthrown in a US-orchestrated colour revolution.

  20. More pressing questions are whether it is time to rethink capitalism (corporatism, neo-fascism, neo-feudalism), along with continued forms of western capitalist domination (neo-imperialism/neo-colonialism)? Is it time to get rid of the West and all the (Arab) capitalist regimes installed by the West?

  21. 💯% 👍 The USA's reaction, from suprise, through anger, sadness and resentment, to eventual resignation and acceptance ⬇️ 😲🤨☹️🥺🥹😔😌

  22. A lost group of Romans or Chinese, perhaps.

  23. He couldn't abide by the agreement because the Americans wouldn't let him. If he had tried he'd have been taken out, just like the leader of South Vietnam when he tried to make peace with the North. Or JFK when he tried to thaw the cold war.

  24. Why can't it defend itself through peaceful trade and win-win interdependence? The best preventer of war between states is mutually beneficial commerce and trade and the encouraging the prosperity of all and not just a few.

  25. I wonder what they will dicuss. I think this invitation is mainly symbolic and nothing really substantive will come from it. Greater things will have to wait.

  26. If Russia in the form of the Soviet Union can collapse largely due to economic reasons without nuclear war I am sure the United States can too. After all nuclear weapons cost billions or trillions of dollars and when the currency of the USA is no longer the international reserve currency the country will be faced with the dilemma of having to choose between either maintaining its huge number of nukes or maintaining its huge number of overseas military bases (as well as its bloated military budget in general). It probably will not be able to maintain both, at least not over the longer term. In other words it will have to economise and make cutbacks, something that the military‐industrial complex will not like and may lead to dictatorship or authoritarian government as it fights to keeps its privileged position over that of the rest of the (civilian) economy. At any rate it will only diminish the ability of the USA to project military and economic power abroad.

  27.  @ste9474  I doubt they are mistakes. In my opinion everything has in all likelihood been planned or anticipated months in advance and the negative consequences of NATO/EU actions have either been factored into the economic wargaming as a necessary cost or were deliberately planned so as to cause social unrest in the EU and create a Europe‐wide crisis of governance which can then be exploited by those behind it all to further their agendas.

  31. It wasn't a mutiny but a protest. A desperate cry for help.

  32. I think it's the one that the Russian Federation is applying, the one which can totally neutralise NATO's planes (and ships).
