    This looks like American payback for Russia , backing HAMAS and not going along with sanctions - or worse - against Iran.

    haha that news source is known for being a state-sponsored propoganda machine. my fiancee is ukrainian, so i hear about it constantly.

    regardless, i believe what the article says. just be careful when using that source.

    Yeah, in a world were people do not need incentive not to be lazy. I do not need to be paying the health insurance of the guy who mops the floor once a week so he can create ten lazy kids who I also, will have to pay for.

    Well Australia has free Medical. But there is a huge problem with lazy people. We need to figure out a balance. Or just keep importing 1st gen Asians to do the work until we run out of ocean front property? Maybe that will take us another 100 years or so? Of course we will be part of China by then.....

    Social Democracy is easily the best political system this world has ever seen.

    As for Putin, cry a little more? You're Russia, are you telling me the U.S. can push you around like that? Weakling...

    Canada = Social Democracy

    Democratic elections with social programs like healthcare covering all citizens, government regulations on capitalism to promote equality and fairness, the name Social Democracy is self-explanatory, so I don't understand the confusion. Unless you are confused on the definitions of Socialism and Democracy?

    Yeah, I still don’t get it.
    I mean, every society not in anarchy has some socialism, doesn’t it?
    I suppose it’s just a matter of degree?

    For example, the Japanese have voted in a government that really isn’t expected to provide health care and pension, as such the people work hard and provide this to themselves. They do however expect other things from their government. Like, not taking all their hard earned money away via high income taxes.

    IS Japan a social democracy?
