I didn't have "learning that someone on Slashdot believes that the Cold War was a myth" on my bingo card for today.
That's not even vaguely what I said, so it's unclear if this is some kind of language issue or the result of a disability, but I'm just feeling worse and worse for you. You somehow believe the cold war was about communism?
On that note, anyone need GLIDE 3D, lol. 3dfx joke, nVidia won that war.
I'd say Microsoft won that war, and everyone else lost.
Well, I'll have to admit, I didn't have "learning that someone on Slashdot believes that the Cold War was a myth" on my bingo card for today.
You seem to be confusing "wanting to get rid of communists" with "wanting their countries to be poor and dangerous".
Wow, I had no idea you were dumb enough to fall for the Red Scare.
You seem to be confusing "wanting to get rid of communists" with "wanting their countries to be poor and dangerous".
It's quite amusing that some troll follows me around modding down any comments where I suggest humans should cooperate with one another. They are literally proving my point by moving things backwards with their solitary cowardice.
It's a competitive system, and you have to maintain certain level of merit and academic progress.
That it's a competitive system is the problem. The world advances through cooperation.
Good job doubling down when called out on your horrific and stupid "joke"
You seem to have forgotten we have read your comments.
Done here.
Good. Fuck off and don't come back, hypocrite.
What on Earth are you talking about? Nobody is trying to make other countries poor and dangerous.
I see that you are ignorant of the USA's entire history in Central and South America. This is my surprised face.
Hahahahaha you think nationalists care about people other than themselves hahahhahahahahhahaha
You mean unlike a congressional parasite, or a PPP parasite, or a CEO parasite?
Use preview.
No, every day now.
More people fail every day.
Unsustainable means it fails eventually, not on a specific day.
USAID was horrifically corrupt
The cuts to USAID are projected to cause 14 million extra deaths - a large minority of those children - by 2030. And USAID engendered massive goodwill among its recipients
But no, by all means kill a couple million people per year and worsen living conditions (creating more migration) in order to save $23 per person, that's clearly Very Smart(TM).
And I don't know how to inform you of this, but the year is now 2025 and the Cold War and the politics therein ended nearly four decades ago. And USAID was not created "to smuggle CIA officers" (though CIA offers used every means available to them to do their work, certainly), it was created as a counterbalance to the USSR's use of similar soft power to turn the Third World to *its* side.
They can go back at any point if they don't think the conditions and salaries offered are worth the job. What matters is that they remain free to leave, with no "catches" keeping them there (inability to get return transport, inability to communicate with the outside world, misinformation, etc etc). Again, there's a debate to have over what conditions should be mandated by regulation, but the key point is that the salary offered - like happens illegally today en masse - is lower than US standards but higher than what they can get at home.
