Yes, I agree with you. Now there's a first, and I'm quite relaxed when you goad me. In fact, I miss it. Now argue with that if you dare!

Can i ask how old you are?No, I have not researched them all, for the same reasons that I never researched the same theories that denied
the moon landings, or those who wish to convince us that the earth is flat. It is a determined attempt to portray America
as the most evil place on the planet, by people from the far left who are upset that their beloved communist nirvana went tits
up.
That's basically it.

Good lord!Then let it turn to shit.
It should not be a moderator's job to judge what is a "sensible discussion".
I used to moderate a politics forum, as long as the posters weren't at each others throats and guidelines on hate speech, misogyny, racism, were adhered to, then threads could be bat shit bonkers, that was no concern of mine.

MurdochBEIJING has outlined plans to become the world’s biggest superpower within the next 30 years.
CHINA’S BIG PLAN
Senior analyst in defence strategy and capability at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, Dr Malcolm Davis, told news.com.au Mr Xi’s message was loud and clear.
Dr Davis said Beijing wanted to replace the US as the world’s dominant superpower, an idea many people have dismissed as absurd as recently as a few years ago.

How the people of the Marshall Islands have to live.Did you say “belonged” to Japan? If so, after WWII, they “belonged” to the United States! Or, maybe you think we should give up all the lands of the world to the first humans from Africa? How far back, and how many wars, do you want to unravel before declaring “belonging”? Maybe we should give Britain back to the Italians?!
Wikipedia:
Micronesian colonists reached the Marshall Islands using canoes circa 2nd millennium BC, with inter-island navigation made possible using traditional stick charts. They eventually settled here.[7] Islands in the archipelago were first explored by Europeans in the 1520s, starting with Ferdinand Magellan of Portugal and Miguel de Saavedra of Spain. Spanish explorer Alonso de Salazar reported sighting an atoll in August 1526.[7]Other expeditions by Spanish and English ships followed. The islands derive their name from British explorer John Marshall, who visited in 1788. The islands were historically known by the inhabitants as "jolet jen Anij" (Gifts from God).[8]
Spain claimed the islands in 1592 and the European powers recognized its sovereignty over the islands in 1874. They had been part of the Spanish East Indies formally since 1528. Later, Spain sold the islands to the German Empire in 1885, and they became part of German New Guinea that year, run by the trading companies doing business in the islands, particularly the Jaluit Company.[7] In World War I the Empire of Japan occupied the Marshall Islands, which in 1920, the League of Nations combined with other former German territories to form the South Pacific Mandate. During World War II, the United States conquered the islands in the Gilbert and Marshall Islands campaign in 1944. Nuclear testing began in 1946 on Bikini Atoll after residents were evacuated. Over the years, 67 weapon tests were conducted, including the 15-megaton Castle B.
Carry on...

Wrong part of the world I'm afraid.Fascinating. And Over The Shoulder Boulder Holders? I’m thinking Tibet.
First identified in the South Pacific, being used to carry coconuts.
This item of clothing was adapted to carry heavy stones used in the construction of the pyramids.
Finally received the recognition it deserved when introduced to the wider world by a certain Mr. Titslinger.
I was metaphorically speaking

I see you have run to your deepest defence, and are trying to strictly define your argument now you’ve been handed your arse.
Well done. Not playing. If we are going to discuss poor people and their demise, we can start wherever you would like. Maybe the church?

To be fair, it is quite strange that Germany doesn't own their actual heartland of East (and to a lesser extent West) Prussia.We should really give Poland back to the Germans as well then.
