    Syrian elections are a joke.. Assad is effectively President for life. Read up on the details and the criteria that have to be met to become a candidate.

    Just came upon an enlightening article in the Russian Tass:

    ‘US coddling of Israel’s interests prolongs’ conflict in Syria, says top Syrian envoy.
    "The Syrian people and the Syrian government want the crisis to end today. However, it is impossible because of external interference led by the United States," he said, adding, "this interference satisfies the interests of Israel and runs counter to those of the Syrian people."

    "The main goal of this intervention is to prolong the crisis," Muallem pointed out.

    Idlib is nowhere near Israel, Jazz.

    Sorry, I'm just a little person and don't know much, but I really wonder WHY Israel keeps stirring that wasp nest, called Syria?

    Read Haaretz:
    Syria Confirms Israeli Strike Hit Military Compound Near Damascus Airport
    Strike hits depot supplying arms to Hezbollah, source says, hours after several Iranian cargo planes land in Syria ■ Intelligence minister: Attack consistent with Israeli policy

    https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east...tary-compound-near-damascus-airport-1.5465621
    -------
    So, o.k., it is Israel's policy to destroy weapons inside Syria in order to hamper Hezbollah from helping Assad to win the war on terrorism.
    Nice!
    Now someone should go into Israel and destroy their weapons cache they use to destroy the Palestinians with.
    Fair game!
    Get what I mean? What is good for the goose, is good for the gander!

    Dearest Margot, we are NOT talking about Idlib, but about the munitions depot near Damaskus airport where Israel shot some missiles and even killed 70 people as well.

    Israel warned against putting an Iranian base on their border in Syria.

    70 casualties ? what other source mentions such a number ?

    A missile hit triggers a short-circuit lol, like a bullet triggers a headache ? :)

    I never heard you talking about "peace" with the *slur* *slur* *slur* *slur* *slur* *slur* "Zionist regime", an effort ? this IS how we get along with neighbors that think like you do and it works perfectly well, what else can you understand but brute force ?

    So? Israel has been helping the rebels since the beginning of the conflict.

    Israel has provided medical assistance to Syrian militants, including members of al-Qaeda, the terrorist group behind countless atrocities, including the 9/11 attacks in the United States, the executive director of the Ron Paul Institute asserted.

    "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists," President George W. Bush said following the 9/11 attacks. Should the American political establishment still share this view, it would mean that Israel has in fact sided with terrorists.

    It's all very confusing!

    Have you heard such a concept as PPP (purchasing power parity)? :roflol::roflol::roflol:

    One example - In Moscow, payment of housing and communal services of a two-room apartment (52 square meters of living space) (payment of a telephone, unlimited Internet (speed 100 mb / sec.), Payment for central heating, payment for water supply and sewage, payment for garbage disposal, payment of current and capital repair of the house and about the house territory, payment for the consumption of electricity, TV... etc.) costs 70 dollars. In the Russian regions, communal payments are even cheaper. And now tell me how much do you pay for public services?
    The salary in Russia is about 700 dollars a month. In Moscow, St. Petersburg and cities with a million and more people - the salary is higher. In the northern regions, wages are also higher. Another example is free medicine and education in Russia. Including higher education. The tax in Russia is 13%. The tax on small and medium business is 6% or 3% (there are different tax laws, you can choose 6% from turnover or 3% from profit)
    The personal part-time farm is not taxed at all. (if you keep chicken, geese, pigs, cows in the courtyard of your house .... or grow fruits and vegetables, and then sell them on the market) There is a special law that prohibits taxing such farms.
    You can see the value of fines in Russia and for example off you. And compare them. And you will understand that comparing incomes in absolute figures is propaganda nonsense.

    A real joke is the election of the US president. To which even international observers are not allowed. At the same time, the president is not chosen by the people of the United States. Elects the president electors. At the same time, more people of the United States vote for one candidate, but electors elect another. That's where the real joke.

    I don't have a problem with the Electoral College because I am opposed to a populist vote. Its didn't work this time, but Hillary was a poor candidate.

    Hard to believe... probably just for political show and gain. They have no hesitation to kill and maim Palestinians by the thousands.

    They provide medical services for Palestinians at that border too.

    Go figure.
    People are complicated, I guess.

    Are you a supporter of the slave societal political system? Because such a system of elections existed at the time of slavery. For example in Ancient Greece. Where a narrow circle of citizens could vote. Although at that time in Greece on a permanent basis, 6-10 times more people. This formation was called "Democracy". Slaves were not allowed to vote, women were not allowed to vote, the peasants were not allowed to vote. There was a certain the Electoral College, which called itself "aristocracy."
    Now in the US, the electoral system is the same as in in time slavery in Europe before our era.
