Couldn't agree more. Some people have a false understanding that democracy is the best government system out there. That is wrong. For example, third world countries such as India, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Indonesia are democracies. And yet, in terms of economic development, these countries are far behind authoritarian states such as China and Thailand.

The S-400 is the most advanced air defense system in the world, and no American weapon is capable of destroying it. And don't compare the Russian army with the Iraqi army. Iraqi army just had the manpower. They didn't had any advanced weapons or technology.

Previously, Israel used to import blue collar workers from Romania and Thailand. But this has stopped now. Ever since Romania became a member of the European Union, the workers from there have moved to countries such as Germany and Ireland, where the wages are higher. So the Israelis are forced to recruit these Palestinian Muslims.

Syria does not produce enough gas, to export it to Europe. Also, Constructing such a gas pipeline will take a lot of time and it will be insanely expensive due to the difficulties in the terrain.

And regarding the gas consumption, it is increasing steeply rather than decreasing. The closure of nuclear power plants in Germany has helped this a lot. And the Norwegian gas production is steadily decreasing.

Cuba has great potential for economic growth. If the United States remove the sanctions and the embargoes, then the situation will improve by quite a bit. Cuba can become a very important tourist destination for the American nationals.

The government can only make laws and regulations. But it is the duty of the people to follow them. There is no use in having a rule, if the people refuse to follow it.

Good to hear that there are people who resist the brainwashing attempts by the leftist-liberal media. Most of the media outlets in the West are controlled by rich Arabs such as Al-Waleed bin Talal. So it doesn't surprise me that a lot of pro-Muslim sob stories appear in them everyday.

Stop dreaming about Crimea. That peninsula remained as a part of Ukraine for about six decades. Ukrainian administration did nothing other than looting the natural resources and heritage. So the people decided to re-join Russia. Now the matter is settled.

Saying that Duterte is a genius is difficult. I won't brand someone who has incited the vigilantes to kill thousands of civilians as a "genius". But I know about a few stupid politicians in the world. Barack Obama's name comes first.

If the Americans refuse to give them the nukes (at least some of the US politicians have supported giving nuclear bombs to Saudi Arabia, saying that it will help them in the defense against Iran), then I am afraid that they will get them from elsewhere. They can purchase the nukes from Pakistan, which is one of their best allies in the region. Else, they can purchase them from the DPRK, which is desperate for money right now.

American weapon systems are not capable of destroying these batteries. And look at the current scenario. It is clear about who is afraid of whom. The American fighters and bombers have completely avoided Northern Syria, where the missile systems are located.

Keep dreaming. Right now, the Russians control the Syrian airspace. The Americans were pushed out almost a year back. The Russians have placed a few S-400 batteries in Syria. If the Americans try to impose any no-fly zone there, then these batteries will be put to use.

You want to change the electoral system just because your candidate lost? No. That is not going to happen. The electoral college system was invented, in order to assure that the smaller states such as Wyoming and Vermont are not ignored by the political parties. If only the popular vote matters, then the campaign will be limited to a few populous states, such as California, New York, Illinois, Texas and Florida.

If edible plants and wild animals are available, then no one would consider eating human meat. But I am talking about a scenario, in which no other source of food is available. Imagine that you are marooned in the middle of desert without any food and water.

It still doesn't answer the question. If the European Union "agrees" with the United States and "discourages" Syria, how is that going to bring cheap and reliable natural gas to the continent? The EU is one of the biggest consumers of natural gas, and it produces only a small part of that volume. The remaining is imported from abroad (including Russia, Maghreb, and Qatar).

I don't know why the government is wasting so much resources in preventing people from watching porn. The last time I checked, violent crime was on the rise in the United Kingdom. They should do more to fight violent crime, rather than spying on people who watch porn.

I disagree with your statement. It is the non-Muslims who are facing trouble, because of the Muslims. Look around. We have Muslim vs Buddhist riots (Thailand, Myanmar, Sri Lanka.etc), Muslim vs Hindu riots (Bangladesh, Pakistan, India.etc), Muslim vs Christian fighting (Syria, Lebanon, Germany.etc), Muslim vs Jews (Israel, France.etc), and Muslim vs Atheist riots. Take any sort of religious conflict. The chance is that one of the warring parties will be Muslims.

Europe is dependent on Russian gas because Russia offers the cheapest and most reliable supply of gas to the continent. The other options are either too expensive (LNG from Qatar and the United States), or unreliable (pipeline gas from Syria and Iran).

I don't bother much about the nukes in the possession of Russia and the United States. But I am really worried about the nuclear weapons, which are currently held by rogue states such as North Korea and Pakistan. Also, Saudi Arabia is currently attempting to purchase nuclear weapons from the United States.

I don't think so. Extreme climatological variations are becoming more common now. Many of the nations have witnessed record low/high rainfall during the past 2-3 years. The world is changing for sure.
