Angela Merkel, doing what Hitler and Wilhelm Couldn't

[QUOTE=Akrazotile]I understand what you mean about developed countries fighting directly over African resources if there are no real African governments or states to 'regulate' those resources. But if we refuse to let our own country fight over it, then let the Arabs and Russians and Chinese and Indians war with each other over Africa. That's their business. Billions and billions of our tax dollars were taken from our hands and sent to Africa to be spent on expensive pharmaceuticals for strangers on the other side of the planet who dont live the same kind of lives we do and have no relation to us. That's bullshit. And not only that, it's gonna result in planetary disaster. Theyre not first world countries with first world reproductive habits. They arent supposed to have all this advanced medical treatment. It legitimately ****s up the ecosystem.

Enough with the global profiteering. We need to stop being suckered, being pressured into believing every venture that gains a penny for the average person and another billion for a few investors is worth agreeing to. Weve gotta be smarter consumers. We oughtta demand that there be a list of countries we do not do business of any kind with. And get citizens of other super powers to push for the same. We're just feeding a giant monster. We're nursing future competitors just because it's profitable to sell the milk to them now.

If we're smart about how we use technology and how we manage populations, the world could have been a beautiful and amazing place in a few generations. Instead we're dumb, cowardly and selfish and it's gonna result in more strife, more extinction, and a LOT more poor Arabs and Africans showing up at our doorsteps.

Gee. How terrific.[/QUOTE]

Africa is a mess, but it will be the Chinese's mess now.

The West has tacitly allowed the Chinese to lead investment in Africa because it simply doesn't pay.

There will be backlash, there will be future Mugabes that will essentially steal the Chinese's hard work and development and hand it to the locals, like what happened in Zimbabwe.

Is it fair? No but the natives claim land rights and courts agree. Africans need to go through this learning curve, but it is steep and messy.

Right now the Chinese still play the small man and act oppresed when in reality they are number two country in the world. Africans will not accept the charade and default on whatever they owe the Chinese, and China will take a HUGE L in Africa.

But acting like Western aid is some kind of altruism is also false, it is a band aid to stop a deeper problem in the future. The rich countries will end up bailing out the poor or they will deal with them spilling into their country when the weak nation breaks. See Europe today.

[QUOTE=JtotheIzzo]where did I discuss Switzerland?

it is probably the most elite country in Europe, but that is based on its neutrality. England cannot construct this situation.

Switzerland has never sided on anything ever, it would kill their look the other way banking system, ie their strngth.

Bad example, completely unique situation.

The UK has taken a stance on every world issue, Switzerland never, they play both sides of the fence that is their edge. THe UK cannot do this.

Dunksby has you pegged.[/QUOTE]



Switzerland also takes a tough stance on muslims. In fact, countries that do and will prosper. It's no secret.


Dunksby is as much of an idiot as you. :oldlol:

another right wing toughie right here, lil b*tch boy back at his high school who crossed the street when the older kids were walking his way.

I think he leaks a little pee everytime someone quotes his posts.

Thinks he can say shit on line about brown folk and it'll make him tough.

USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, they seem to be OK with the immigration thing.

Maybe I should go full Dresta here: "You think the US hasn't prospered!?!?!?!"

What "sides" are you talking about? Seriously, this post doesn't make any sense. What sides of what fence are the Swiss sitting on exactly?

The UK is also in a completely unique situation: its form of government is not replicated in Europe (where PR and coalitions dominate, not adversarial politics), nor are its legal and political processes; moreover, the UK was in a [I]unique[/I] historical situation after ww2, in that, unlike almost all of Europe, it had maintained its independence, and never suffered invasion and occupation (the trauma that led to the ECSC in the first place).

Your arguing that Switzerland is unique and therefore that it ought to take a different path applies with equal force to the case of the UK; you are making my argument for me. Oh, and yeah, the UK is a much smaller power than it used to be, so i'd rather we not use our meagre resources to keep making war on people (and for supporting the expansion of EU power to the east), thanks; the sooner British politicians stop taking sweeping geopolitical stances, pretending to be Winston Churchill, and using RAF bombers for photo ops, the better. The country has more than enough internal problems not to be going around the world lecturing people like some kind of second-rate USA.

Every time you say this it makes you sound more insecure, bro. :lol

Your obsession with racial segregation you've revealed on your comeback tour is also bizarre.

Forreal, you're 40 years old dude, what are you doing with your life? You're embarrassing yourself and it's hard to watch.
