There's a secret to hiring someone who's lucky. Take half the resumes you get and throw them in the trash, cause you don't want to hire anyone so unlucky. The remaining half are the lucky ones, but if you want to hire someone REALLY lucky, you pull one out of the trash and hire them.

I'm really sorry to hear all this, honestly it sounds awful and I'm sorry it's something that you have to deal with :( thank you for trusting me with this information even after how rude I was, I know it must be so exhausting to have to explain to people so much- I know its exhausting being non binary even without the extra hardship. Thank you for this.

Oh piss off you really checked up on me? What's wrong with Tolkien and 40k, not written by Americans so worthless?

I'm interested in learning, what would you suggest I research something by Michael Bay?

I know enough to realise that the US wasn't the only country involved in the cold war for starters. And that the cold war didn't have a clear cut victor. Stick to poetry not history.

No point in continuing this, you're not interested in learning. Stick to Tolkien and 40k, you have a lot of reading to do in order to shore up the blank spots in your history knowledge, but have no trouble spouting off on it apparently. And your debatelord Andy nonsense is too transparent to work.

But have a nice day, regardless.

The amount of money they spend on military and military equipment+ all other expenses and subsidies to the territory far exceedes the money the could gain from raw resources in that area.

I'm guessing your a Yank? American exceptionalism at it's finest to believe they brought down the USSR with a few spies.

Besides you can flip the question, why wasn't USSR able to bring down capitalism during the cold war?

No, that's not what they are saying, if you had received a proper education you would be able to see that at the very highest the US is second in land area, followed by Canada and led by China, simply from the title. However, you decided to not read the title nor the information in the webpage linked to and just hate on the US.

Take your hate elsewhere.

>Yeah almost like capitalist nations wage war on the communists every chance they get.

Jeez why did I assume you were talking about a conflict.

That was the comment you were defending, maybe read it next time.

Hitler was also a raging racist that actively tried to exterminate entire peoples because he thought they were abominations.

Leopold just let millions of people die because he wanted money.

They're both absolute pieces of shit but you can't possibly say Leopold was worse when Hitler did all of his killing on purpose whereas Leopold simply didn't give a fuck as long as he got profits.

I never said they did. But the cold war certainly constrained their growth/opportunities. Why did you think I believed it was a 'hot war'? It wasn't anything I said... Or are you under the impression that only open warfare can negatively affect a country?
