What they said

Jeffrey Sachs:

“How many wars has China been in, in the last 40 years ? Let me count them. That would be zero. Not one war in 40 years.”

The last one: a month-long border war with Vietnam, 1979.

Now count America’s wars in the same 40 years >

> Panama, Iraq twice

> Serbia, Afghanistan, Libya

> Syria, Somalia, Yemen

> and this year, Iran

So who is the threat ?"

Zhai Xiang: "The most dangerous crisis for any civilization is not when its economy stops growing, but when its younger generation stops believing in the future."

Alessandra Bocchi: "Both immigration and the cost of living are leading to Europe’s demise. Addressing only one at the expense of the other wouldn’t stop the train from traveling on that railroad. Both must be addressed for Europe to be saved. There is no Left or Right in any meaningful sense anymore; this is merely another divide-and-conquer trap by our elites. Seeing right-wingers patrol the streets to guarantee safety is part of the plan for new guerrilla warfare to unfold among citizens while the government emerges as the saviour and the status quo continues unabated. The debate today is about our survival. The ruling class wants you to think it’s about us fighting each other. Change only takes place when our voice can no longer be ignored. We need that change, and our chance is now."

Pierre de Gaulle, the grandson of Charles de Gaulle:

"It makes me smile when people talk about Russian interference because it suits our political elites and allows them to avoid telling the truth to the French people. Most of our politicians took part in the Young Leaders program, sponsored by the CIA"
