Far from it. Finite resources will be the next battlefield. You will be lucky to get a drink of water without paying.

If the current world order has the dominant nations in this order:

1. USA
2. China
3. EU
4. Russia
5. India

Which of those will be in the number 1 position in 20 years time?

Depends on how the leadership goes, if it follows the trend of the last eight years the U.S.will not even be on the list.

You already pay for a drink of water.

Neo,
Go back to post 1705 or a few posts before. You claimed that International Law was all torn up because of what happened in 2001. Now you claim that 9/11 tore up International Law? And accuse me of being drunk for not putting the two together. Was that a joke I missed?

Yes, the events of 9/11 occurred to me, I just never figured anyone would be so dim as to try and connect it with the demise of International Law.

Carry on.

what's wrong with NK ? it's definitely less rogue than the current US, at least they don't start wars they can't win everywhere

Is it really true, DraginAss, you are a supporter of North Korea. Oh, what a rich territory to mine.
Good times ahead.

Translation: "I refuse to accept that Russian planes are bombing civilians and FSA rebels because my hot crush Putin says they're not".

I am sure they are bombing FSA rebels. Why wouldn't they? I also have no doubt that there are some civilian casualties. I'm sure that any side that has dropped bombs or missiles in Syria has killed civilians. That's war for you. That's why a diplomatic solution should be the top priority and joining to defeat IS also a top priority.

So you place the burden of proof to absurd levels. You expect people who are being bombed to not only film the act but somehow aim their cameras to the sky and try and catch a plane with markings before you will believe it? You sir are the personification of an idiot.

I can tell you one thing it was not American planes. They are not crossing airspace with the Russians. The Russians are bombing almost exclusively in the western side of the country. The US in the east where the bulk of IS is located.

Even if it was a Russian plane, what's the significance of that video? Some (a few?) people were killed or injured? Some (a few?) civilians were injured? A hospital was bombed? A hundred women and children were killed? What?

You seem to like question marks but I'll answer the question you should be asking.

There will be no united, inclusive, Syrian government until Assad is gone.

There is little chance of it happening in the near future if he does go, but it's the best chance for peace.

And while you disregard the hundreds of thousands of Syrian deaths because of his actions, the millions of remaining Syrians, both in and out of Syria, don't.

Agreed.
I was referring to the casual use of "...a few...".

I was referring to the content of the video posted, not the whole conflict.

You didn't post the video so the questions weren't directed at you. But it's still nice to see you have no answers.

^ I love how you clowns like to side step facts when they do not fit your agenda. I have posted this article three times and not one of you propagandists has responded to it. It is loaded with sources and citations.

But you need video..

Well, progress; you've gone from the rule book on international law being "torn up" since 9/11 to "eroded".
OK, fine. I'm not going to embarrass you with it anymore. But expecting to connect the 9/11...rendetion... and international law is to expect someone to connect the associations in your head. Loose associations at that.
Rendition was going on long before 9/11 by both the US (numerous failed attempts on Castro) and Russia, (can't remember the Russian spy the Putin knocked off with radiation) and the killing of Iranian scientists by the Mossad.

If China thinks Internaional Law doesn't matter, they can tell it to the judge.
The rule book is still intact.

No I don't. I pay for the convenience of having it pumped to my house. If I wanted to fetch my own water I could do that for free.
