    That is... quite a difficult question, but I would lean towards Germany. - Germany: helped cause First World War with naval race which directly led to Second World War, supported Marxist revolution in USSR, started Second World War which led to domination of Marxist thought in academia and is...

    If it is France, I do not hold much hope. It is more like destroying Europe is in their blood - first they allied with Ottoman Empire, preventing Habsburgs (starting from Eugoen of Savoy's campaigns) from throwing Ottomans out of Europe. Then they allied with Ottomans on several occasions again...

    Problem is that Universities everywhere are the dispenser of Far Left ideas. So how to change that? Although I at least didn't get any crap for my presentation on political culture of Islam back when I was on uni, so it seems that smaller universities might not be as bad as major centres in that...

    If they are immigrants, then they will accept laws and customs and culture of the country they have immigrated into. If they do not accept such, they are invaders. And while I do not support revenge killings of people who are completely unrelated of crimes revenge is being carried out for, I do...

    They can, depending on the wrongs. If somebody invades your homeland, you have right and duty to defend yourself, by any means necessary. When Ottomans burned Croatia, do you really think it was wrong to go into Ottoman territory and burn them right back? I would not say so.

    I was not talking about peasants when I mentioned "rank and file". Though it is true that lords were absolutely crucial for the Crusade, even in their case it is likely that exact motivations varied. These are Middle Ages, remember; you can't just reduce their motivations to "materialism hurr...

    I disagree with the last bit. Yes, for many of them gold and power were the real pull. But that was mostly major lords. Rank-and-file were not so rich as to get obsessed with gold, and yet not so poor as to desperately need it. And the fact is that, in middle ages, people believed their own...

    So United States, Russia, French Third Republic, United Kingdom, China... are all monarchies according to you? And frankly wars are not the worst which can happen to a country.

    Or else they realized what would happen but simply didn't care. Remember that all these politicians are elected for a defined term, which means that they have only one goal: to get as rich as they can before they have to turn over the reins. They don't care about the future, because they have...
