Re: 27-Dec-16 World View -- Furious Israel retaliates against UN for condemning West Bank settlements

Israel can either withdraw to the borders of Israel and stop the occupation, or it can exterminate or remove the Palestinians. I am not seeing a third way. The issue that most people aren't talking about is water. The expansion is about control of water and/or access to it. In terms of "third way" ...

Re: 18-Dec-16 World View -- Syria and Russia see 'the light at the end of the tunnel' after Aleppo victory

I agree that ISIS certainly captured a significant cache of weapons and ammunition from the SAA. I wanted to contribute to the narrative and discussion on this topic and issue because it's one of the few times that I had some information to add to the forum.

Re: 21-Dec-16 World View -- Russia, Turkey scramble to mend relations by blaming US for assassination

Some factors are Ukraine/Georgia/Turkey were banning together to create alternati...

Re: 20-Dec-16 World View -- Terror in Berlin and Ankara as Russia's ambassador to Turkey shot dead

there were several cameras in the room, it's not a big room and few videos from different angles captured the action. Unless everyone from the press was on it, I can see how it may be staged, but in reality I don't understand why would anyone go to all the effort to stage it. The embassador is dead ...

Re: 18-Dec-16 World View -- Syria and Russia see 'the light at the end of the tunnel' after Aleppo victory

It seams to me that the situation in Syria is opposite that of the Vietnam War. In Vietnam, the foreign actors (US, USSR) were in awakening eras, but the locals were in a crisis era. Contrast this to Syria that is supposed to be in an awakening era, but some of the foreign actors (US, Russia) are i...
