    The bitter miserable thing is that American Christians have fully infested countries like Uganda, Nigeria, and Kenya, with predictably awful results.

    If there is a global reorientation around the EU and BRICS (which seems increasingly unlikely as Russia/Ukraine has devastated trans-Asiatic trade relations and India/Pakistan feuding threatens to plunge billions into a new World War), its going to have to be over the backs of tens of thousands of evangelical missionaries and their American exploiters.

      I am curious, how is india and pakistan doing what they do best a cause for a global conflict? In the two last ones it was a bunch of european states tied together through silly treaties and pacts and a whole lot of countries coming together to stamp out the nazis, respectively.

      India and pakistan are neighbors and essentially two sides of the same coin with different religions, and as far as i know have no defensive pacts with any major outside power. So even if they went to full blown war it would stay fairly confined to the region, no? Excluding considerations such as trade impact of course.
