  1. Europe established a structure of peace in 1815 - it lasted to 1914. In 1848, there was a revolt (like now in Tehran). The Russians intervened and maintained the structure of world peace.
  2. To have world peace - a structure of peace, America must get along with China and Russia. Iran is an irritating but minor player. I suspect that this supposed peace with Iran is based on America (Trump) talking to Russia/China. ==== We now live once again in a multi-polar world.
  3. I reckon that you are a nationalist. ==== Too many young male Europeans have died for such.
  4. Endless wars? Europeans have periodoc wars - every 100 years or so, when the young males have forgotten.
  5. Q My general opinion is that people in Quebec hate Trump.
  6. Herbie, I trust that you're a real, uh Canadian? Or, are you one of those Americans who pretend to be a Canadian.
  7. You are a rich person, as Keynes predicted.
  8. Americans have Trump and Obama. Europeans have a metric system -but endless wars. Australians have kangaroos. We Canadians have two federal languages but no official culture. We get along.
  9. Huh? Disagree. Some people -not trained- like Trump.
  10. Obvious response. ==== Since 1991 or so, we live in a new world. Let's get along.
  11. Rather, how about the anti-Trump syndrome. In Canada, I meet few people who are pro-Trump. I meet many Canadians who are anti-Trump. ===== Why are people anti-Trump?
  12. 1. Similar people/language, similar land/resources - why Israel is richer than Lebanon? 2. We Canadians get along.
  13. Curious, I travelled in what is now known as "Ukraine". Lemberg. I saw older Polish people seeing where their parents were born. ===== As a Canadian, I agree with Trudeau Snr. I want nothing to do with this nationalist nonsense.
  14. And our federal Canada too.
  15. This problem in Iran could easily be resolved if America spoke to Russia.
  16. I agree with Kissinger. China, Russia and America must sit down - and agree to get along.
  17. After 1814, as Kissinger explained, we had a regime of peace. It collapsed in 1914. From 1914 to 1945, there was another Thirty Years War. Since 1991, we are seeking a new peace.
  18. Trump met with this guy in North Korea - several times. His people met with fanatic-Iran recently.
  19. I am talking to myself:
  20. For me, a Canadian, an Israeli passport means something. This person can go to Israel: a rich organised country. ===== At present, a Somali or Haitian passport means little, nothing. True, the holder has a place to go in this world. (But this person is poor. And the document is likely fake.)
  21. In the 1930s, Israel did not exist. At the time, Jews had nowhere to go. ==== Nowadays, Somalis and Haitians have a country, a place. They at least have a passport.
  22. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7FIvfx5J10My Favourite:
  23. JFK was only 43 when he died. Roosevelt was born in 1882.
  24. For younger people, it is the age a person dies. For older people, it is the year the person was born. ===== Robin Williams was born in 1951. Chuck Norris 1940.
