Trump says countries take advantage of the US. If the author is so concerned, he must urge his government to help US militarily in Afghanistan. Otherwise Americans are bound to hate these cheerleaders for a perpetual war.
I feel the article is too vague. The author uses sentences like:
and
These type of sentences are so open to interpretation that people residing on any extreme of ideology would, in principle, agree to them.
To me, the only thing conveyed is the author's concern that people with extreme...
@CriticalThought when trying to analyze chinese perspective, it would be good for you to give some references to chinese opinion pieces. I agree intuitively with your opinion that chinese will be disappointed by our handling of uighar issue. The government and media are to be equally blamed. It...
We should boycott dutch products. Not on a government level if its diplomatically difficult for us to handle but on a personal level. If we all do it, it will have an impact.
@obaidali18 above says they were 'rescued'. The tolo news says they surrendered.
After facing defeat from taliban, they had no option otherwise they would have been killed. What happens to them now? Will they end up in eastern Afghanistan?
Where does the opening of US embassy in jerusalem fit into all this? If they are all discussing all these things so closely how come US made the move which is apparently unilateral? Or were they all on board? In which case what did arabs and palestinians get in return?
Doesn't make much sense...
Utter disregard of civilian lives by saudis is just so sad. Remember the wedding they bombed right in the middle of the city killing hundreds. But what else can you expect with americans providing intelligence and playing advisory role.
Saudis will starve yemenis into submission once they take...

The news about the wars the U.S. is waging all over the world is unreliable. The same statements of progress are repeated year after year. The official numbers, be they of...
Read this intercept report to get a glimpse of 'A great deal of HUMINT'. Some light is also shed on what happens after civilians are killed.

Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Plus do you believe they took all the risk to inject him with opiod. Why would you innect someone with opiod anyway. What about the dubai assasination?
A Guardian article:
Winston Churchill's shocking use of chemical weapons
The use of chemical weapons in...
Which facts?
Israel. And others too.
Israel maintains a robust chemical weapons research facility at Nes Ziona, which produces numerous potential lethal chemical agents on behalf of the Mossad’s Kidon unit, which carries out such assassinations. The research institute was founded by none other...
So much capability and still failed to kill the skripals with one of the most lethal chemicals ever and with 'high purity'?
As for motive is concerned, its a domain of speculation. You can have an endless debate on who could have what motives. Its a subjective thing.
My point was that 'facts'...
I gather from your statement that while assad may not have used chemical weapons, syria was bombed because putin used chemical agents in uk and was given an answer in syria? Am I right?
@Solomon2 , if Mr.Mirzayanov, says that its possible for someone to use the formulas in his book to make such a weapon, then we should believe him. He worked in the laboratories where they were first made. He is also a putin critic and defected from russia.
