No, my point was that Americans didn’t discover it.
I never said they did.

Numbers, Butch. Mass slaughter leading to a change of government was a lot harder with a spear as opposed to a machine gun.

"...Wind and solar energy are the only sources experiencing growth globally, acquiring more share of the energy infrastructure and helping power sector emissions remain steady in the first half of 2023, according to a new study.

Solar energy, in particular, exhibited remarkable growth. At least 50 nations achieved new monthly records for solar energy generation in the first half of 2023..."

The defenders of the Alamo inflicted large casualties on the attacking Mexican army.
  Today? They'd shell the Alamo with 155 mm howitzer shells from 15 miles away.

But they lost. And of course weaponry is only part of the tale, money has been the most important weapon since there was money. And then political will, yada yada.

"..Palestinians have been occupied, murdered and denied their rights for decades. To call the events of today “unprovoked” is outrageous.."





Looks like the cancer is going into remission.

the Venezuelan people far outnumber the Venezuelan army. However they have largely been disarmed by the ruling junta. And that's that.
