Why banks are no longer lending to both sides of a war
You may have heard about Napoleon Bonaparte backed by the Rothschild banking dynasty who had been lending money to him while the soldiers were conquering foreign territories that the aforementioned family was about to attain.

2014 Russo-Ukrainian war is not a black-and-white issue
Few people will tell you the 2014 Russo-Ukrainian war is a complex issue. People stand on either of two sides.

Guns N’ Roses are right. Every war is a Civil War!

Local wars (I really don’t mean a…

Was Kissinger worse than Hitler? Was he given the power…
The worst people are not your common criminals but people with suits and ties. And those with the sole intent of grabbing power. And Henry Kissinger knew how to grab power. His only idea was realpolitik (a system of politics or principles based on practical rather than moral or ideological considerations). No ideals, no morals,…

So you have cruel correction officers, the Holocaust, genocides, armies ready to do whatever they are ordered to do. Evolution equipped us with selfishness, not caring (in terms of doing direct intervention) whether a fellow…
