Of course those nations were surrounded by large but politically weak empires with unhappy populations of their own. This was also a time when those politically weak empires had huge stockpiles of new arms, never before used in war and the violence of which were underestimated. Can you name 1 foreign leader today that saw the results of Hiroshima and Nagasaki firsthand? <br /> Not much is remembered about the person who fired the shot that started World War 1. His name was Gavrilo Princip and he died alone, unknown and in prison. He should be remembered because he was associated with a radical anarchist/Marxist group known as the Black Hand. (you should look into that group!) It only takes one anarchomarxist to start a world war and we have far more now than we did in 1914. Things aren't bad enough for a world war to start yet, but it's getting close. My gut says we are around 1912 or so (2 years out until it gets bad enough that developed nations turn on each other). I hope we have a Commander in Chief better than the current one when that time comes.Andrew33https://www.blogger.com/profile/12727106195950368976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-471547089086438321.post-69184834796706936592011-06-04T09:07:16.962-07:002011-06-04T09:07:16.962-07:00(sorry i had to fix an error) Greece only exists (...(sorry i had to fix an error) Greece only exists (just like the rest of the Eurosociodoemocracies) because we pay for their defense along with the much of the rest of the (recognized) world. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, though as our economy can no longer shoulder the weight of defending Europe. That will hurt us, but the EU with debt problems already should simply cede itself to Russia once we tailspin into depression. Once we are out of the way, the Euros go will to war with the Arabs and then Russia (or China) will march in and take all of Europe. I believe it will be the Russians because they pay far more to their history than we do and the Russians in the government like Putin have not forgotten that FDR promised The USSR influence over all of Europe at the last meeting with Churchill and Stalin before he died. Truman did not honor that agreement and so we got the "cold war". The Russians also see Poland, the Baltic states and the breakaway Republics as historically theirs. The Chinese want land with natural resources, and Europe is stripped of those resources they need most. WE have that land, and don't think they don't know it. The only thing stopping them from taking it is our 2nd Amendment rights and that we are (personally) very well armed. The sad thing about world wars 1 & 2 is that they showed that if your aims are political and you are willing to use your military strength against your neighbors, war works.Andrew33https://www.blogger.com/profile/12727106195950368976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-471547089086438321.post-88913724936078493202011-06-04T09:02:57.296-07:002011-06-04T09:02:57.296-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Andrew33https://www.blogger.com/profile/12727106195950368976noreply@blogger.com
