You're mental dude. Or just completely out of arguments ^^

Imagine verbally attacking users via PM because you disagree with them in PARD

That short video refers to the potato famine in Ireland which specifically affected the poorest in Ireland who starved to death.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famine_(Ireland)

snippet:

The famine was a defining moment in the history of Ireland,[3] which was part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1801 to 1922. The famine and its effects permanently changed the island's demographic, political, and cultural landscape, producing an estimated 2 million refugees and spurring a century-long population decline.[19][20][21][22] For both the native Irish and those in the resulting diaspora, the famine entered folk memory.[23] The strained relations between many Irish and their ruling British government worsened further because of the famine, heightening ethnic and sectarian tensions and boosting nationalism and republicanism both in Ireland and among Irish emigrants around the world. English documentary maker John Percival said that the famine "became part of the long story of betrayal and exploitation which led to the growing movement in Ireland for independence."

This was a good piece from AlJazeera shedding some lights on Iraq after Saddam.

The sad part about this video and how it links in this thread - a lot of Russians are acutely aware of what will happen to them if Russia loses and the kinds of new elites (eg like exiled Khodorkovsky) will come to power as it happened once Iraq (Lybia etc) lost.

Even the guys who were in the middle of the political spectrum - not supporting Putin before the war - are know behind him to avoid a catastrophe. The Americans or The Europeans will not care about the little guys, they will be busy plundering the riches.

Putting endless sanctions on the little guys lives as well as constant irresponsible propaganda by the western MSM which affects a lot of folks incapable of rational thinking has played into the hatred of the west domestically and is driving the divide further and further making diplomacy harder and harder as times goes by.

If the Ukraine conflict brought Europe together then an argument that the policies of successive western governments, led by the US, is accelerating ties between Russia & China, and Russia and Iran (I have no clue on the relationship of China and Iran). India is also not buying into alot of the western rhetoric apparently. The problem here is that this so-called "axis of evil" is not something that can be defeated militarily and in this regard this encapsulates the expression "we are living in dangerous times".

All of this points to a cold/hot war and rising prices for everything in the short-medium term (0-15 years), everywhere, noting the break down of globalisation (the open doors policy on trade which existed here to fore) is a real thing.

In england you see what happens when you are no longer a member of a large trading block- rising cost of living, more people struggling - that scenario is effectively going to play out now, globally, everywhere. The Chinese Belt and Road initiative would mitigate alot of this, somewhat, for China and those that remain closely linked to it with trade.
