I don't think that any of the world wars started out of small things, can you clarify?

Have you been in Bucharest? Skylines are not everything. What about slums and general infrastructure? I find it hard to believe that Nairobi is comparable to Bucharest. Even cursory glance on economies reveals that Bucharest has almost 4 ti
