I don't see how the United States is allowed to practice the Monroe Doctrine, but when another country doesn't want a major military power in their backyard they are evil.

Saudi Arabia has the fourth largest defense budget and one of the most advanced Military in the world. I doubt they will have issue with ISIS or the Houthi's, especially when the Houthi's have no stake in Saudi Arabia. ISIS has made enemies with Iran as well, the two significant regional powers. ISIS lost this war the day they started it. The only reason they exist, and are able to destabilize the region is because of Western involvement. Yeah but it was with Al Qaead is a different story especially with the 9/11 attacks. Houthi's control Yemen, Al Qaeda was beaten back pretty easily by them. I'm confident in the Houthi' led government. Regardless Saudi Arabia has plenty of manpower, weapons, and technology to protect It's Iraq and Yemen border. Hmmmm Houthis are Shiites and the rest of Yemen are Sunnis. The previous government was a Sunni and was pro-Western until it was overthrown. There mite be another civil war and harder for the US to target Al Qaeda militants, but I was curious as to why Saudi Arabia funded the 9/11 attacks? 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/05/world/middleeast/pre-9-11-ties-haunt-saudis-as-new-accusations-surface.html?_r=0 This is a history class in itself. Goes back to the Afgahn war. Many rich saudi's didn't like the fact that they were getting western help so they left/broke away from Saudi arabia. They still have heavy ties so naturally the only people who could come to the US with less question would be Saudi citizens. Regardless the argument that because they were Saudi, Saudi arabia funded it is completely absurd. Because the Oklahoma City bombers were American, the United States funded it. Because the Norwegian mass killer was Norwegian, Norway funded it. Because the terrorist in France were French, France funded it. Because the Caucus Terrorist are Russian, The Russians funded it. Because the subway bombers in Spain were Spainish, Spain funded it. Because the bus bomber was a UK citizen, the UK funded the bombing. I could go on an endless list. What this really shows is an irrational fear of Muslims. Where you have issues of secular violence and Religious violence are in places that lack education. Take Malaysia for example; the religous intolerance in Maylasia is insane. If you're not muslim they kill you. Same thing in China, if you practice Christianity you die, but they are not Muslim. Take the West boro baptist church. The common factor is a lack of education. So mail a book to an ISIS member instead of firing an 800,000 dollar CM that will kill ten civilians a long with it only to replace that one with 10 more fighters. This topic is frustrating me and impairing my ability to communicate my thoughts. I'll be back to respond much later.

huh?

King Abdullah has done more for assimilating, and modernizing the beliefs of Saudi Arabia without causing more bloodshed than their already is. He's a genius and I hope his half-brother follows suit. If you want a clarification, King Abdullah is sending young Citizens to Western nations (mostly to the United States) to study and learn the culture. They come back with much more liberal views and over time will eventually counter the strict and unwavering views of the old and dying. Well that's really really optimistic thinking....I guess in a 1000 years Saudi Arab will catch up w/ the rest of the world...... 2 years ago a woman would be arrested for sitting the driver's seat of a car, now they are being handed drivers license. Not to mention the heavy investment in educating women in higher education institutions. Because the United States won't allow any cooperation within the middle east aside from US led cooperation. The objective since the Eisenhower administration has been to destabilize the middle east. Take the Iraq-Iran war for example. The eight year long conflict was fueld by US intervention. As soon as Iraq gained ground and the tied had turned, the US pulled funding and supplies allowing the Iranians to turn the momentum. This process went on for nearly a decade until Iran and Iraq decided a million dead soldiers was not worth an outside induced conflict. Arab's and Persian's have also historically been belligerent to each other, the only time they've ever been united is when they have a common enemy. ISIS would be a suitable nominee for said cooperation; but, the US will not allow it. The US is already upset about the level of cooperation that exists.

Those two were sentenced to death already for terrorist attacks. Good show, but not a response.

It's still being discussed, just as it has been for the past year.

Not trying to play devils advocate, but we (the US AND Russia) did sign an agreement to protect Ukraines sovereignty. So legally speaking, the US is effectively obligated to bring our military to the table to defend Ukraine, whereas Russia is directly defying an agreement they signed. But personally, that treaty means nothing to me and should have never been signed to begin with. This war is driven by internal political and social-economic unrest. The argument goes two ways.

Kiev violated the ceasefire the second they signed the treaty. The Ukranian military never pulled back it's artillery 30km away from Luhanks and donetsk territory, and too add insult too injury shelled the cities on a regular basis claiming they were targeting "Terrorist." The fact of the matter is their is an indigenous population in East Ukraine that supports the rebellion, otherwise a rebellion could not and would not exist. As for the argument that there are Russian commandos and weapons in East Ukraine, I fail to see how this is relevant. General Hodges is in Ukraine Right now, the General of U.S. forces in Europe. We've also spent billions on the Ukrainian military and given them intelligence and things like night vision goggles. The west is contributing far more military aid to Kiev than Russia is too the rebels. Another note, prior to the rebellion the West and East came to an agreement and signed a treaty that allowed Yanokovych to remain in power until democratic elections were held nine months later. The very next day a mob forced it's way in to the presidential property and forced Viktor to flee. The anti-Russian forces were never looking for a peaceful resolution and now they are paying the price. The west has not held up on any of it's promises, have made accusations that they themselves are guilty of, and call an indigenous population who has lived their for millennium that they do not have the right to choose who they are governed by.

They didn't start beheading people of certain nationalities until said nation got involved. Russia has an obligation to protect Kurdistan since they created them. NATO should pull out and let the Arab states and Persia take care of it. Iran won't let ISIS grow but can't get involved because we are preventing anyone who can actually fight ISIS from doing anything. The only people we're supplying weapons too slow the effectiveness of those who can stop them. Let Assad do his thing, let Iran do their thing, let Russia support Assad and Kurdistan and we can stop spending ridiculous amounts of money. I believe the cost is something like 1.8million Dollars per ISIS member killed at the moment. Talk about an ineffective military campaign.

I look forward to seeing more of your work!

Www.Worldoftanks.com is a game that came out a few years ago and has really evolved in to something historically accurate, detailed, and to be candide, freakin' awesome. Basically it's like Need for speed for WWII era tanks, you participate in large 15v15 tank battles in which you train your crew, research technology, and improve the modules on your tanks. Right now the game includes French, USA, Russian, and German tanks. British, Chinese, and Japanese tanks will be added over time. It's a fairly large game and may tank time to download, and a requires a decent computer to run it. It is free, and rewards those who donate. If you decided to download the game, go ahead and post your user name in this thread.
