The UN predicts that Africa's population will grow to between four to *ten* billion by 2100.

A hundred years ago, Africans were 10% of the world population. In a hundred years, they will be over 70% of the world population.

And they won't stay in Africa.

The most powerful nations in a hundred years will be the ones that protect their borders.

Japan will bounce back. North America and western Europe will not.

SEA along with with Australia are in for a good time. As are both South Korea and Japan, as long as they maintain relations. The rest of the world will probably remain the same or decline.

Do americans and europeans realize that the only reason fundamentalism and sharia law are so prevalent in the middle east is because the western governments during the cold war have weapons and money to the islamic radicals because they knew they would never join the soviet side?

I mean it's the whole plot of charlie wilson's war, it's not like it's some kind of secret...

The same way people see America as a naturally "white" country.

>>3047988
Because all their conquered territories consider themselves to be Arab and have done so for over 1300 years. Hence Arabs are now indigenous to all of the Middle East and North Africa. Only Islamophobes try to sow division in the Arab nation like this lmao. You think if you are successful they will start naming their children Nebuchadnezzar and Ramses instead of Muhammad and Ali (praises be upon them both) and start worshiping the sun (astaghfurillah!)?????

Stalin trusted Hitler as well. From the book "Roosevelt and Stalin" by Susan Butler, pg 188:

'"I am certain that Hitler will not risk creating a second front by attacking the Soviet Union. Hitler is not such an idiot and understands that the Soviet Union is not Poland, not France, not even England,' Stalin said on June 15"

pg 189, in response to Zhukov's advice to reinforce the border with Germany:

"Zhukov preservered, which only infuriated Stalin, who said, 'Do you want a war because you don't have enough medals? If you're going to provoke the Germans on the frontier by moving troops there without our permission, then heads will roll.' Stalin then had left the room, slamming the door behind him"

pg 185, Stalin's response to Churchill's warnings about a German attack:

"He didn't trust Churchill. After digesting Churchill's warning, the premier growled to Zhukov, 'We're being threatened with the Germans, and the Germans with the Soviet Union. They're playing us off against each other.'"

pg 191, on June 22, 1942:

"At dawn... Stalin returned to the Kremlin. Zhukov and Timoshenko found him there 'very pale... sitting at the table clutching a loaded unlit pipe in both hands... bewildered,' saying 'A provocation of the German officers... Hitler surely does not know about it."

"Stalin still refused to believe, as he told his staff, that Hitler had sanctioned the invasion. It was not until Count Friedrich von der Schulenberg handed the German declaration of war to Molotov that Stalin was convinced. 'They fell upon us, without making any claims, not demanding any negotiations, they made a vile attack like bandits,' said Stalin, at last coming face-to-face with reality

Apparently he really was the Napoleon of England, Napoleon was very intrigued by him and read voraciously about Cromwell on route to Egypt.
Interesting man, not enough about him remains public knowledge.
He revolted against the monarchy long before it was cool.

I had never heard of the Longshan "giants" until today in the news they discovered more of them:
Since 2016, archeologists have been excavating a large site in the east of the country. The site contains the ruins of 104 houses, 205 graves and 20 sacrificial pits.

Dating from the late neolithic period, some 5,000 years ago, the relics belong to an ancient culture called the Longshan. Recently, scientists discovered human bones that are unusually tall and strong. These were people over 190 cm living in this region while the rest of chinese at the tame were around 166cm.
