De-evolution of Europe. The equation of Communism with Nazism (First Part)

It was indeed cynical and out-of-touch for the EU (Parliament) to suddenly blame, after 80 years, the Soviet Union for triggering WWII.

Deeper meanings of the Hong Kong protests. Is China a gamechanger or yet another winner?
