Jamesc Hypersonic January 27, 2022 Share January 27, 2022 If man wasn't selfish and cared more for other people than himself then communism would be perfect. But as we all know if you gave anyone absolute power to decide who gets what then he or she is going to take more for themselves and short change someone else. That why communism doesn't work. The price mechanism works better but only to an extent and also has flaws. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need a US president who dare to go against the ppl to do that. US probably hope the EU, with the US leading the call, can take on the Russians. But again, why will many countries in the EU wants to go to wars with Russia where many of their cheaper gas supply are from? They have a lot to lose and very little to gain. A rational comment to a irrational situation when everyone knows both Russia and US are no longer as "Communist" as social democrat Germany today. I also don't understand why some pple still latch on to the image of Russia = USSR when the fact the later no longer exist and nor is US a superpower enjoying as much influence has it had decades ago.... Why would EU wanna go to war ? Good question ! I also ask why US and UK perpetuating conflict in eastern Europe - Ans : Both aren't part of EU. 😜 Edited January 27, 2022 by happy_man 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justice Minister Christine Lambrecht said the planned delivery would send a "very clear signal" that Germany stands by Ukraine amid rising tensions with Russia. But Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said the helmet offer had left him "speechless" Simi helmet ah 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinyl 5th Gear January 28, 2022 Share January 28, 2022 18 hours ago, Jamesc said: Communism didn't spread? The communists fought a war in Malaya. Even Singapore had communists. Isn't Chin Peng a communist? The British army defeated the communists and stopped communism spreading. So when people say communism didn't spread I think they mean it would have spread but was stopped from spreading and so to them it didn't spread lah. First, if you can explain how communism comes into picture between Russia and Ukraine, it will be great. Second, if you are aware that today's Russia isn't Soviet Union, it will also be great. Third, do you have selective memory of history and stuck at certain point of history without the desire to acknowledge what happened next? Read on and help yourself. Who said communism didn't spread? One of the comments here was that US stopped communism. That is so stupid and I don't know what kind of books people may have read to draw that conclusion. US lost in Vietnam, Vietnam became a Communist state. Who actually stop communism from spreading in Southeast Asia? Here you go... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
