Europe has become too socialistic to be able to compete economically. It’s all about populist politicians trying to kick the can down the road a few more years and continue to keep the welfare state on life support. The economy cannot grow under such circumstances.
I don’t even know where to start with your comment, because it is too silly to take it seriously.
“Templar Christians of USA , England , France , Germany , Netherlands” ? Reallly? Is that a serious statement?
The Knights Templar have disappeared since the XIV century. And the countries you...
That happened a long time ago. Different people, different weapons, different cultures. People were more willing to sacrifice themsleves back then, and war required less skills and training than it does now.
Now, when we have women in positions of power and with more rights than men, why would...
That’s why conscription is not a solution in the XXI century, at least not in devloped / high income countries.
People who have a good life are not willing to fight in a war. They can’t be effective soldiers if taken by force, because their only goal will be to stay alive, not to inflict damage...
That’s fine as long as they are volunteers. But when men are drafted to war against their will because some crazy leader thinks they need to sacrifice for the greater good, than that’s a different thing.
Maybe because of the Eastern cultures, the pool of volunteers would be much higher, but...
I’m not saying a country shouldn’t defend itself from aggression. What I am questioning is conscription-based armies who defend the country against their will. If the country can get enough volunteers to fight a war and defend, they should go for it, but the moment you resort to...
That’s because most states / countries are and have been ruled by murderous psychopaths who care more about a presumed personal “legacy” than about the people they are supposed to lead.
Most wars happen because both sides are ruled by evil psychopaths. The current conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza...
So easy to say from the sidelines that others can “afford” the casualities. Arabs are humans too, and their lives matter as well. Why would they sacrifice their lives just to destroy a country that will fall anyway sometime in the future?
Human lives are more valuable than some stupid state...
You can’t challenge a country in modern long range war based on demographics. The high population of China won’t help in a sea and air war, but it would be very costly to maintain and feed during an embargo.
If China and the US shared a large land border, your theory would make sense. But...
If your economy collapses, the last thing you need is a war and international embargo. China needs seabound imports. It is dependent on that. The US can easily shut down the seabound trade routes.
China is in no position to fight a war against the US. That’s why the US keeps pushing this...
You are actually confirming my point. It is the US who wants China to attack now, when the US still has the upper hand. It is not in the interest of China to start a war now. China wins by playing the long game.
China won’t invade Taiwan. China’s strength is its economic game backed up by improved scientific education and a globalized economy. If there is a war and a break-up of the globalized economy, China loses.
China is dependent on a functional global economy, because they import a lot of basic...
I condemn the hospital attack, along with all the indiscriminate bombing of civilians. Israel is acting in a similar way to Russia. The way they lie in order to deny their war crimes is also very Russian-like.
That’s great news! A four times increase in production will allow for new countries to buy CAESARS, while at the same time Ukraine will be able to receive additional units.
Maybe 4 units will go to other countries, and 4 to Ukraine each month.
This is they kind of production ramping that is...
