Why are we so against Russia fighting ISIS in Syria?
Russia plays chess with people's lives... obviously more important to humiliate USA and be cynically amused by America's failures in Afghanistan, Iraq, & Syria. None of the problems in Syria would have happened if Russia supported Assad by not letting terrorist/rebels infiltrate the country. Now we are supposed to say: "Well done Russia... you are going to solve the problem." It is to be hoped that their opponents do not get hold of sophisticated air-defence systems or it will be 1980 Afghanistan all over again.
Is getting back to Syria is dangerous at this time?
I'm 20 year old syrian boy currently I'm living in Ukraine because of my Ukrainian mother but I'm lost here and there is no help I can't study here my English is very good but it doesn't help me here, I speak Russian but it's hard sometimes I lived all my life in Syria all my friends and family was there and can't adapt to Ukraine it's really different but back home are telling me is a total mess and it's very dangerous but what should I do immigration will a lot of money syrians are swimming in a little boat with 50 syrians on it to go anywhere, and I don't know what country will take I guess the U.S will not take me because there is enough problems with illegal immigrants there but pretty much all the countries are refusing to take syrians even Arab countries I don't even have my syrian passport because of the war I came here because of my mother I'm so scared I feel like my life is over I got nothing left maybe I can go back but it's dangerous oh my god why this happening? It's not fair I didn't do anything to anybody I'm just normal boy who wants to live a peaceful life.
Is this Japanese picture about Syrian refugees racist? It says, "I want to live a safe and clean life, eat gourmet food, go out, wear pretty things, and live a luxurious life…all at the expense of someone else. I have an idea. I'll become a refugee."
No it is not Racist as it is not explicitly associating behaviour with race. It is however:Insensitive,Misleading to highest degreeTries to provide economic rationale to Racist policiesSexualises a minor.Insensitive - that is obvious. Kids are getting killed, it tells to turn a blind eye.Misleading as it blames all that happens in Syria on Syrians. However:Syrian progressive, pro-Western Hashemite monarch was removed by the hungry for colonies French in 1920.As independent France fell, the anti-Zionist political class was imposed by pro-Nazi Vichy Government and “Hitler’s Mufty” Palestinian Amin al-Husseini - Wikipedia. With that went their chance to establish reliable, modern Agriculture.Eventually, Baath and eventually Hafez Assad took power. While it is not clear whether USSR was behind the initial coup, but they surely made it last. Assad was a Soviet client until USSR fell.After USSR fell, it was the EU and US policy to support the oppressive Assad regime and portray Assad as reformer he wasn’t.It was the US (more specifically Clinton) decision to reverse that policy and facilitate violent regime change in favour of Saudi-oriented Muslim fundamentalist - who proceeded to terrorise and kill the religious and ethnic minorities in their areas of control.It was Russian and Iranian help that kept Assad fighting, and killing the Sunni Arabs that represent the majority of population and the base of Islamists. Most bombing is done by Russian planes.Yet the picture fails to mention that the nightmare in Syria is 95% of foreign making.Misrepresenting the Policies. Well, it is not really a secret that Japan official belief is that only an ethnic Japanese can be a proper member of Japanese society. It is also not a secret that a lot of Japanese policies - like commercial Whaling in Japan - Wikipedia that give Greens everywhere good name, or high tariffs and outright bans on food imports that make their food prices so high, are there to protect highly traditionalist rural society that is seen as the basis of Japanese mentality. So it is not really whether the migrants from Syria are free-loaders who refuse to integrate as the ad claims, or law-abiding hard workers prepared to study Japanese every waking minute and dedicate their lives to faithful service to a corporation - Japan doesn’t want them regardless.Sexualising a minor. Once again, obvious.
I do not understand why there is so much hate toward Israel in the world!!?
Try researching how many massacres they have committed since 1948. Perhaps that will give you a few clues to work with. Start with the words "Gaza City" for the most recent episode of mass butchery.
If you had the chance to meet with Barack Obama, what would you tell him?
“Oh. Hi.”And then walk away. I’m Finnish. It would be hasty to assume a leader of an irrelevant country or irrelevant people would mean anything to us. Heck, we jog with our president. Or he jogs amongst us, more properly, but you get the idea.I actually met our previous PM at an ATM. Took me five minutes to figure out if I knew him or not. Well, at least five minutes. Hard to guess, since I really don’t care about status of other people so me putting any energy to a completely meaningless task like that is just a waste of time. At any rate, it took some time before I realized it.Now, if Obama was to sit next to me in my preferred watering hole and started harassing me by talking (you’re not supposed to approach a finnishman, sulking or not, and you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference anyhow), I might actually say something back.But that’d be called “conversation”. I don’t know how they’d go until they’ve happened.If he’d bring up the subject of his presidency, I’d likely tell him you did an adequate job for an american and that I always liked your style, here, taste this. It’s local, it’s strong and it’ll help you to keep your thoughts to yourself.Or something similar. He is only a person, after all. And in here, even gods are rendered as persons. Typical human notions of hierarchy have very little meaning in here. So the same rules would be utilized as with anyone else bothering a finnishman that is contemplating silently.
Has the Arab spring failed?
Syria is in the middle of a civil war, Egypt is on the brink of chaos, and Libya is a country ruled by local armed militias. Is it realistic to believe that Arab countries can operate under democracy, or do they require a monarchy or dictatorship to achieve stability and peace?
Being BiRacial....? Does this count?
I think bi-racial is reserved for people of completely opposite skin-tones. Ones that are apparent to the eye. Like and Asian and a black person. Or a very dark Latino and a Scottish person, etc. Even though latinos are usually considered white I think if they are dark they could be not classified as white.
