You ever get the impression that people randomly picked from a phonebook would make better leaders than "policticians"?

So we were under the control of the Kingdom of Hungary, now what? What's the big deal? Slovak Republic is an independent country now. The likes of Slota call themselves the Slovak National Party, but they are far away from caring about that nation's issues. They just abuse their position to steal as much as they can. Mr. Slota called a policewoman 'cunt' for not letting his personal driver to get into the Parliament's building becasue he had no papers with him and he got away with it. The thing is, some Slovaks are merely stupid and they love when this guy behaves like an animal. ''We'll get into tanks and destroy Budapest.'' Once again, the Slovak National Party has nothing to do with dealing with the nation's problems or needs like the national movement back in the 30's and 40's of the 19th century did.
And by the way, Slovakia doesn't have a right to call itself a state.

Our opinion are almost the same. I was in Slovakia a few times and I surprised how Slovakians so nice and full of hospitality. But the media always talks about that they're hate Hungarians and don't go there.
And why do you think that Slovakia doesn't have a right to call itself a state?

Few facts about WWII.
Mussolini's invasion in N. America wouldn't be possible without oil that was sold to him by USA.
Franco in Spanish Civil War used also only oil sold to him by USA.
IG Farben, company most importand for growth of Hitler's war power was financed by...we'll I'll quote Wikipedia:
In 1941, an investigation exposed a "marriage" cartel between John D. Rockefeller's United States-based Standard Oil Co. and I.G. Farben. It also brought new evidence concerning complex price and marketing agreements between DuPont, a major investor in and producer of leaded gasoline, U.S. Industrial Alcohol Co. and their subsidiary, Cuba Distilling Co. The investigation was eventually dropped, like dozens of others in many different kinds of industries, due to the need to enlist industry support in the war effort.

I dont recall Italy invading the U.S. In any case, many in the U.S. remember Rokefeller as an asshole, so most really dont care about that point.
Originally posted by yuri31:Both of the world wars and the periods after them were obviously a great business for the US as they were the only big country which was not directly affected.

That is the U.S.s real advantage in war. That we have oceans between us and our enemies.
