Actually, it's the other way round. We got Merkel because of Hitler.

Would love to see that outlined in a spin-off thread.
Rough relevant time laps of German history:
Hitler, WW2. Lost. Separate Germany. Kohl, reunite Germany, Merkel lucky at the right time at the right place. Kohl gets donation, Merkel wins election.

Iraq was a war - and "seven-fold", Biblically speaking, means "a hell of a lot".

not really.

The Chinese army would do what's best for the Chinese army, but you're free to believe otherwise.

And that would probably be to do nothing.

not really.


And that would probably be to do nothing.

Since you cannot dispute the word "war", relating to Iraq, I must assume that you contend with the meaning of the word "seven". In the ancient writings, "seven" did not mean the number seven, but many. However, it would be way off topic to go further.

Two reasons: First, a determination to win the peace, achieving what Hitler failed to do - control Europe. Second, The people, in horror of what they did in WWII, have become wussified and easily manipulated by activist groups, such that Merkel can pursue her nation-destroying policies without real opposition.

a) India is too corrupt.
b) India doesn't have the infrastructure.
c) India has a rather poor record on its minorities which is why something like 30% of the country is controlled by Maoists.

a) They might well invade Taiwan, its true, but Taiwan doesn't really want to be fully independent either. Besides China will make Taiwan an SAR like Hong Kong and Macau.

India is too corrupt to manufacture iPhones? You lost the argument there and then pal.

Taiwan doesn't want full independence? Oh yes they do and their democratic elections have proved that. What a load of bollocks the SAR system is. Two systems one country? Only if you do exactly as China says and don't expect any form of freedom and democracy.

Like it or not China is an evil corrupt dictatorship that murders it's own people on a daily basis. IMO we should refuse to deal with China and support the dissidents towards a full scale revolution.

I really hate Baidu.

I hate it too, not least because the logo looks like it was designed 20 years ago. When my VPN is refusing to work on my mobile (happens sometimes) I will grudgingly - VERY - grudgingly use Bing.

Oh the horror.
Bing and Baidu.

Sorry, which electronics are manufactured in India? And do the Delhi police do any work without a bribe yet?

http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2015/02/05/2003610873 - only 30% of Taiwanese want full independence, 55% prefer the ambiguous status quo and 8% want reunification.

Like it or not China has the most successful government of our time.

IMO we should refuse to deal with China and support the dissidents towards a full scale revolution.

Our systems are collapsing under the weight of handling the refugees from Syria a country of ~20 million people, the idea that it could handle China, with a population of 1.4 billion refugees is a fairy story.
