'Destroying the old system' is not what got us to the moon.
Pol Pots revolution worked out poorly, and he did think he had a plan. Question # 1 from Pio, was 'is a sustainable strategy achieveable?'

So they know things were going to get worse with Ukrainians and Turks around the corner and they wanted to have some say in the process. Therefore the situation was not opaque, it was and is a clear and transparent one...no puss in a bag...no pig in a poke. |
