#1 Personally, I'm optimistic because "international" is dead and "international" is the source of most of the bad ideas in the World today.
Example: Talk to an Israeli Peacenik, and - eventually, after he/she/it runs out of rational arguments (rather quickly in most cases) - you'd hear "but the whole world says".
Example: The mass influx of tribal savages - who are incapable of seeing a non-relative as human -into Europe.
Example: All the EUropean (EU gov financed) NGO who undermine democracy and rule of law worldwide.
Make no mistake, all of your Dhumicrats look to EUrope as an example to imitate.

#2 ...our Europhiles who ignore the first half of the 20th Century of recent European History, forgetting that our stock either left or were thrown out of the place to begin with.

#3 UK activist Emily Hobhouse knew what Lord Kitchener was up to. Childhood diseases, med shortages, camp crowding, and the chronic emphysema helped bring the war to a close. Nothing much new here.

Yes, farming became very hard, but that was the goal. Kitchener had studied Sherman.

#4 Some say the Black Death was a precursor to capitalism as serfdom was on its way out and the free flow of labor on the way in.
