Jeremy Corbyn is in trouble again, this time for describing World War I as pointless.
Corbyn has, for all his life, opposed the only means of securing peace either in Europe or anywhere else. He is against trade agreements, the European Union and NATO. Bernie Sanders is equally as misguided.
Corbyn and Sanders thinks you can make peace just by talking with people. Peace is made by trading with hostile countries to make them depend on you for their prosperity as well as yours. By growing rich through free trade, it’s in no ones interest to go to war or have poor relations with each other or each other’s friends.

Chinese and Indian real GDP PPP since 1980

Despite coming out of the blocks together, the Chinese economic miracle led to far larger increase in its respective real GDP PPP. Indian GDP only increased eightfold while Chinese GDP increased 18 fold since 1980 on a purchasing power parity basis.
