Socialism/Communism sounds like the greatest thing ever, then reality sets in. There really is one born every minute.

Communism is like banging your head through a boulder. They are actually right no one has banged their head through the bolder yet. But trying harder isn’t going make it less deadly.

Worked great when the Germans implemented it.

I am extremely anti communist, etc, but I am pretty sure these guys were doing okay before all the 'sanctions' that stopped their oil sales.

This is not a defense of their political system, of which I know basically nothing. But the reason their country is fucked is because we fucked it, as far as I know, and not due to their shitty political situation.

Am I wrong about this? I'd be happy to know more if someone has info on it.

Sorry if I am ruining the joke. It was still a good joke.

You are not wrong

Eh, they wouldn't be starving in the streets if they didn't go communist. Sure, times would be hard but communists tend to kill off all non-communists when they take over. That basically wipes out anyone who know how to do stuff, like farming, water treatment, plumbing, etc etc.

And you can always sell that oil outside the US, just for less money. Or more, depending.

You're right. But I do think the US sanctions go further than a simple "we aren't buying your oil", I think they're similar to what they're doing to Russia (eg. They are actively attacking and punishing any other country that attempts to buy the oil as well).

It doesn't change the whole communist thing, but I swear they used to be rich and communist just because of the ridiculous amount of oil they have.

Well, US is boycotting any country that is socialist. Cuba is screwed too, but we will never know if they are screwed because of socialism, or because of US sanctions.

Honestly, with the stories claiming city dwellers have been eating pigeon and pets, I'm surprised there are any rodents, let alone rabbits to eat.

I mean rabbit meat is eaten all over the world especially the UK. They breed nonstop. What’s wrong with eating rabbits? Hope you are not one of those women who see rabbits only as fluffy pets and not as the pest they are.

“Oh no, don’t eat Mr scuffles!”
Eff off, stew that fucker
