A little research later... well I'll be damned!

The Ukraine gets an 8/10 in arms trafficking...


Trade

With a substantial stockpile of weapons, few barriers to accessing arms and millions of small arms and light weapons on the black market, Ukraine is believed to have one of the largest arms trafficking markets in Europe. While it has long been a key link in the global arms trade, its role has only intensified since the beginning of the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Most arms are reportedly trafficked domestically, but the illicit arms trade is also linked to criminal arms markets in Russia, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia and Turkey, as well as countries in the EU and the former Yugoslavia. Within Ukraine, the cities of Odessa, Dnipro, Kharkiv, and Kyiv are significant logistical centres for criminal networks. The increasing number of arms combined with relatively limited controls and conflict in parts of eastern Ukraine have resulted in a sharp increase in the size of the criminal market for small arms and light weapons, particularly Makarov and Tokarev pistols, AK-pattern assault rifles and Dragunov sniper rifles. Additionally, there is a smaller market for light machine guns. Firearm seizures have been the largest in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, where fighting has been the most intense. Conflict-affected areas constitute the major sources of illicit flows for the rest of the country.

And where do the weapons go? The Mujaheddin in Afghanistan, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Hamas in Palestine! :lol:

Follow the money all the way to Zelensky’s bank accounts! :lol:

The Benefits of Western Civilization April 13, 2019  Jeff Sanders

As I was reading Ben Shapiro’s latest book (The Right Side of History: The Remaking of
the World) I was thinking about all the marvels of western civilization. These are marvels we just take for granted. But stop and think for a minute. Look at what you have in your home. You live better right now than ANY of the pharaohs or kings or sultans ever did in the ancient or medieval worlds. Right now you have electricity, washing machines, toothpaste, refrigeration, paper clips, antibiotics, a microwave, glasses (or bifocals! or LASIK eye surgery), a multiplicity of fruits and vegetables all year round, disposable diapers (yay!!), cars, central heat, air conditioning, television, computers, telephones…the list goes on and on.

All of these things arose from one culture, from one civilization. Western Europe and its descendants in America, and those nations that have imported some or all of western European culture, values, or technology (like Japan). Japan has a constitutional monarchy. How is that? They thought that up themselves? No. After the US defeated Japan in World War II we told them they would have a freely elected constitutional government. This is what they came up with, and it has worked well.

It is western civ that has discarded the “divine right of kings” and created constitutional republics or monarchies. It is western civ that first ended slavery throughout its lands either peacefully or through brutal civil war. It is western civ that liberated millions from barbaric socialist dictators and their death camps. It is western
civ that produced science as its own discipline so that we can know the world and improve upon it. It is western civ that first created hospitals, orphanages, universities, and free schools for the public. It is western civ that gave the world the music of Bach, Beethoven, Handel, Mozart, Puccini, Tchaikovsky, and Vivaldi…music that is learned and played and enjoyed in every corner of the world.

I could go on…for a long time. Other cultures have contributed much (I love studying Chinese history and culture), but it is clear that western civ alone has been the driving force for freedom and prosperity like no other culture. It is not nirvana to be sure, but it also does not deserve to be spat upon either.

Have you any idea what an asshole Ben Shapiro is? That makes you a bigger asshole than he is despite your tiny size.

Over 37 Million people live in poverty in USA by their own figures (in reality it is far more).

You can take their civilisation and you know what to do with it once it is in your hands.

Freedom of Speech is the Most Important Constitutional Right, Neither Russia or China have this.
Only the WEST. Be grateful that you can express your views as stupid as they are because you live in the WES5.
LONG LIVE AMERICA

The leading US role in the defeat of twentieth-century totalitarianism is without doubt the greatest contribution that the nation has made to the rest of the world. Absent America, the future would have belonged to either German National Socialism or Russian Bolshevism.

In your world there is no freedom of speech you stupid old fool if you keep saying I should not speak my mind and fuck off.

But you are so stupid that you do not realise the hypocrisy of your posts.

Never mind.

I really do not want to remind you again that the paces like Afghanistan and Saudi and every other shit dictator is the result of American foreign policy. Your single brain cell can only hold on to one thought.

Anyway, the old cunt has declared that he will not attend peace talks if Russia does not stop firing at them.

He is the original ant threatening the elephant. How stupid is this idiot.
