Featured "Look At India, It's Filthy": Donald Trump Shifts Blame On Climate Change

[Vikki]

Why blame India, China and Russia alone for not doing enough about pollution and ecosystem destruction ? All countries should participate in removing this problem.

One easy and important way is to immediately abolish privately owned personal transport vehicles worldwide - cars, SUVs, two-wheelers and jeeps. Instead, every country should cut out some of their military budget and install in their country an efficient public transport system ( buses mainly ) and a good taxi system ( for the occasional outing ). This will have the side effects of drastically reducing traffic accidents, crime and commute time.

India' s carbon emission rate is 7 percent...Russias 5 percent...the US's 15 percent...US is contributing more to greenhouse effect than both Russia and India combined.

WTF IS THIS? THAT DUDE IS PRAYING TO TRUMP?

India' s carbon emission rate is 7 percent...Russias 5 percent...the US's 15 percent...US is contributing more to greenhouse effect than both Russia and India combined.

Maybe the chaotic nature of India, the non-transparency of Russia and the outward affluence of America encourages Trump to scold the first two countries.

Further, a Google search gave me the below, an article about who funds the UNO and other world "multilateral" organizations :

The 53 multilaterals in our sample received around $63 billion per year in estimated direct, recurrent grant funding during the 2014-2016 period. Figure 1 shows the composition of these resources by funder. In absolute terms, the U.S. is the largest overall funder at $14.1 billion per year, providing 22 percent of the sample’s resources. The U.K. is the second-largest funder at $7.6 billion (12 percent), followed by Japan at $5.4 billion (9 percent) and Germany at $4.4 billion (7 percent). These four countries contribute approximately 50 percent of the total funding, and the top 32 funders account for 95 percent. Notably, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the 17th largest funder and provides more than $880 million per year.

All this makes the USA primarily, and the Western bloc in general, to assume moral superiority.

Saudi Arabia and the rest of the free world on one side

KSA is part of the free world? Dude, it's all about interests and it's not a zero sum game by the way. KSA has very good ties for example with China be it militarily/economically or financially. In fact surprisingly enough KSA has always had very good close ties with China, for example they openly support China on Uygur issue and many other issues which are part of China's core interests. So it's not always a zero sum game. Geo politic is not always mutually exclusive

Do you like to bust his fantasy as white wannabee? Beside, no point in lecturing kids about REAL POLITIC nowadays.

I didn't say KSA is part of the free world, though it is relatively much freer than North Korea.
When war breaks out then nations have three choices, join side A, side B or remain neutral. In World War 3 it is obvious KSA will have to join the American led side, let's call them the allies, while Iran will join the Chinese led side, or the Axis powers. And like the previous two World Wars, the Allies will win again. Freedom always prevails, and authoritarian regimes lose. China should learn this lesson before it is repeated for the third time.

The Soviets defeated the Nazis, proven by the fact that they were the ones to occupy Berlin.

Well to be fair, India wasn’t the only country he named.

But we heard only about India

 

[N.Siddiqui]

india is the most dirtiest country in the world. you can literally see people doing shit on roads. i mean they are so dirty.

This is pretty normal, normal for Indians to shit on roads and on rail lines, beaches and just about anywhere, no head is turned, it is no news.

People using Toilets are big NEWS there....specially in small towns and rural areas.

62% of Mumbai pop. lives in slums and slums have no toilets, or one toilet for many thousand people, what do Mumbaikars do...open shitting and peeing.

India is without any doubt the dirtiest country in the world, many poorer African countries are much cleaner.

 

[Shahzaz ud din]

Karachi is also filthy by those standards. Thanks to PPP.

He was talking about countries, not the cities

Only because the Germans double crossed them after the Non-Aggression Pact. Don't forget Soviets were initially co-operating with Germany and they divided Poland among themselves. The part of Germany that Soviets made into East Germany was obviously inferior to American liberated West Germany.

US did not punish Nazis and even allowed officers of the Wehrmacht to continue command in the Bundeswehr.

The Bundeswehr's troubled traditions – DW – 05/16/2017

The German army has been rocked by widening revelations about far-right sympathizers in its ranks and a lingering devotion to the Nazi-era Wehrmacht. So how does the Bundeswehr deal with its history?

www.dw.com

Nazis were voted into power in Germany. WW2 was simply an intra-imperial competition in the west, while it was absolute savagery in the east. That is why the Soviets punished East Germany far harder than the West did to West Germany, though objectively that had a detrimental effect on Germany's recovery.

 

[DavidsSling]

well what can one expect, if cleanliness means this in their country:

They bathe in filth, be it ganga-water where dead-bodies are thrown like garbage or be it go-mutra.

The sad thing is that this is not even the worst.

When the "low caste" in India are made to clean human sewage with their bare hands, with no PPE, are killed and raped, then you know India is a true shit hole, it's actually worse than a shit hole.

 

[DavidsSling]

Indian cities are filthy...so are pakistani cities ...we all saw what happened in karachi during recent rains.
It's a shame that we are living in such filth...instead of mocking and making fun of india,Pakistanis should address the filth in their cities...pakistan isnt heaven either

I have been to India, and this is not true.

Everywhere in India is filthy and Indians are filthy, they like living in shit.

I have been to Manali and it is beautiful, as long a you ignore all the garbage littered along the sides of the lookouts.

Such a shit hole.

Population is a major factor in pollution. When Indian's sing songs of the "1.4 billion" miracle there is other side to that. Pollution. Whilst Pakistan also has problems but the population density is lower and thus pollution levels are also lower. As regards air quality and smog fires are the biggest cause. Have a look at this NASA map and you can see the problem is concentrated in India and cities like Lahore being close to border also get hit hard.

And you can see India is a superpower when it comes to pollution with New Delhi and the area of India around it wining Gold Cup for most pollution.
