Japan - Asia + Europe = Netherlands

China - Asia + Europe = Soviet-Union

Interesting:

  Russia - Europe = Putin
  Ukraine + Putin = Russia
  Putin - Stalin = Bush
  Stalin - purge = Lenin
That means Bush = Ukraine+Putin-Europe-Lenin-purge.

However, the site gives Bush -4%, second best option (best is -2%, "fleet ballistic missile submarine", not sure what negative numbers mean).
