In all truth, what is happening now in Ukraine is...surprising, to say the least. I always had the impression that, unlike the Poles, most Ukrainians loved Russia.

So you're against both nations, basically?

The Russians? Why?

Not at open war, perhaps, but proxy conflict? I think so, yes, to some degree. I think the Saudi-Iranian rivalry is a very unhealthy one for the region, and should be ended as soon as possible, but that is simply unrealistic.

The Cold War is over, both sides need to stop acting like children and move on with their lives.

MOSCOW, February 27 (RIA Novosti) – Only four percent of Russians describe relations between Moscow and Kiev as “friendly,” an independent pollster said Wednesday. The Levada Center reported that 40 percent of respondents to its poll described relations with Ukraine in positive terms: four...

I read somewhere months ago that Syria and Mexico were on the Top 10 Obese Countries list, I found that surprising.

You know, there are some who argue that globalization and excess capitalism ultimately led to America's decline.

I've always sympathized with the Kurdish cause, best of luck for Kurdistan.

I don't understand you, what is that supposed to mean? And the Buddha was born in Nepal. And, if you are from Taiwan, do you support the KMT?

China wants nothing to do with the Syria situation, and rightly so.

It should not, and I am quite sure it does not, but to be fair, your own country seems to be do so quite frequently.

You have only yourselves to blame for the creation of Hamas and Hezbollah.

The U.S. should just leave the Middle East alone, and for good. That would essentially satisfy all parties.

I agree that Pakistan and Iran should retain strong ties but, honestly, I thought your people practically worshiped Arabs. Is that true or not?

Support Assad or the opposition, neither side is likely to view your country any differently. India is by comparison with the other powers almost a non-player in the Middle East.

Well, the way I see it, Iran is unconditionally supporting a strategic ally of its, just like the U.S. does (unfortunately) with Israel. The Islamic Republic's relationship with the Syrian government has been close long before Bashar came to power, it seems only natural that they continue it...

I always wanted to visit the Middle East, for some time now I've been contemplating possibly going to Iran, but Arabia may also be an interesting destination.
