That Europe has ended after WWI, and WWII was the last nail into the coffin.

Iraq was a nice rich country, where people lived quite happily. But someone invented provocation in Kuwait, and if one war was not enough, US destroyed Iraq under false accusations about chemical weapons. It is no longer a rich country but it is still and ISIS base. Some 250k people died in the meantime. (

I have been in Tunisia in 2007. I recall, during an excursion to the desert the guide pointed generally towards east and said: "See, there is Libya. It's a rich country. Our people go there to earn money."
Libya was the most rich country in Africa. It is no longer a rich country thanks to some assholes in France and US who thought selling oil for gold is wrong.
Some 6k people has died, which is ridiculously low.
In 2011 most people in Syria lived happily, but some Obomba got a great idea that "Assad must go" and talked Syrians into a civil war because GCC countries needed a pipeline. Now it is still a bad place to live because war continues. Some 150-400k people has died so far.
Not even going into details and I skipped Jemen, Afganistan and Pakistan.
You think there is no guilt on Western society ?
But that's not the kind of guilt MSM would tell you about.
