Metal gear?

that's a question with a lot of hypotheticals.

Absolutely. Human history is determined by the most powerful overcoming their weaker adversaries, and the fact that modern civilization does not do this is simply a temporary phenomenon. War is inevitable, as it is impossible not to threaten a nation's values at all indefinitely. This, and economic or political aggression by another country, when taken to the extreme, is potential for a retaliation

yes, it can

lets say that a region occupied by one nation contains over 90% of your nation's citizens by nationality, and they are potentially being mistreated because of it

the nation becomes hostile when asked to remedy the situation

therefore a justification to claim that region by whatever means is justified

Remove repeat offenders from society completely, and change the view of society on crime

"Related activities"

I think what he meant by that

is how do we lower crime, and lower the rates of things considered crimes

not just "make it legal"

it happens

It's funny that we have a conversation about how the acts of individuals in a race shouldn't reflect on that race as a whole, yet the acts of a nation mean that an individual is hunted all his life and treated in the worst way possible and we're totally fine with it

>chad right

No, no, and no.

Holodomor happened, the state had a minor role in it, very minor, and no real means to prevent it, and the main blame lies with the Kulaks and hoarders

I would pin the death estimate at 4 million

IT'S FRIDAY!

"He discovered America"

Technically the Romans did

He wasn't really of any significant importance, we would have found the Americas eventually anyways and we would've colonised them just the same

Campodin

There is evidence of Romans on the americas

Roman weaponry, a submerged roman vessel in Brazil, etc

Obviously they never colonised it or anything even close

But they got there

No, of course not

But the point his, Columbus did not discover America

I wouldn't say it was "irrelevant"

But I understand what you mean

Well actually we don't know that

The likelihood is that they did but they have since been destroyed

Especially since its possible to read the entirety of the remaining roman documents from the entire period in a lifetime

There was much, much more and the Americas were probably mentioned, but it was most likely destroyed in the centuries to follow

Then you're a fool

The fact they were capable of doing so, and so early on in itself opens up an entirely new area of discussion on roman history

Intentional or not, it was achieved

No, the topic is on Christopher Columbus, and somebody made the claim he discovered America

I simply pointed out he didn't

The chinese as a people are getting older

The same problem europe is having will happen to china in the next 10-15 years

Basic universal rights, and mass employment opportunities

Benefits do not solve the problem, they make it worse

No

But they will within 10-15 years

@Deleted User I love you.

By 1402 the byzantines were little more than a forced vassal, they didn't have the ability to do any real damage to constitute a revival

>the Germans killed all the Prussians

Where the fuck did you hear that

Senate is more important than the house IMO

anything the house passes, the senate has to ratify, and if the republicans control it, in the end they control what is implemented

@Deleted User I miss you.

Kobach, but it'll be difficult to actually get him into the position

EVERY STATE VOTES FOR JEB

Jeb harnesses the presidential power of his dead father and guilt trips everyone into electing him

Imagine actually being a fucking (((kulak)))

>thinking otherwise

Oh dear.

Kulaks were just greedy Ukrainian peasants who had for the first time been given a lot and let their families and friends die off so they could hoard an extra sack

They are the definition of social parasites

No

They replaced the Russian nobility

They weren't "successful" farmers

They replaced the nobility as small scale land barons, using other peasants as effectively slave labourers

Like the nobles had before the serfs were emancipated in 1861

The Kulaks did very little actual work themselves and just took the form of rich peasants that got rich via the expense of other peasants

Which led the country to multiple famines

Including the holodomor

the kulaks are literally one of the main causers of the Holodomor

Sure, the state could've alleviated it to a degree, but they'd been teetering on the brink of starvation since lenin's implementation of War communism in 1918 and the New Economic Policy in 1921

They had very little grain in reserves to stop the famine

The Kulaks, on the other hand, consumed or burned or killed their stocks

I believe the estimate is 27 million livestock slaughtered rather than be given to the collective farm program

And an untold amount of grain hoarded, consumed and burned

Rather than be given away

And as for "evidence", literally just look at Russian farming methods after 1861

@εïз irma εïз what do you mean what are Ukrainians

@Scipio Americanus stolen by who?

Stolypin's attempted land reforms were literally designed to combat the problem of a Kulak agriculture

And as for the state "stealing" the agriculture and livestock

The land was owned by the state, the state was either at war or suffering from horrendous post-war shortage, and the machines and tools used to harvest and cultivate the agricultural produce was provided by the state

The Kulak populations were exploitative and greedy, nothing more

They were a problem recognised as early as the 1880s

Vyshnegradsky tried to combat it unsuccessfully which led to the 1892 famine

He was replaced by Witte who also tried, but to little success

Then Stolypin tried land reform which would've worked better, and was similar to the idea of the Kolkhoz, but he was killed in 1911

The Kulak problem was not a soviet problem

It had been present for a good 50 years by the time Collectivism was implemented in 1929

And even after collectivization and the liquidation of the kulaks, there was huge agricultural issue all the way until the dissolution of the USSR

stalin did the best work for the agriculture

Khrushchev didn't do much with new ideas but expanded on what was there
