History shows that the notion of “strong leaders” is dangerous to societies. Absolute power, no matter the intentions, will corrupt absolutely. It's just a matter of time.
I know there are many people who will say that they seek the truth. However, the majority is only seeking for confirmations of their own opinions or feelings. This channel was never meant to appease those traditional ideas. In previous reports, I’ve been called anti-Chinese, anti-Arab, anti-Iranian, anti-Russian, and more. So, let them add “zionist” to that list as well, I’ll just continue doing what I do.

Good question. The sparsely populated demographic landscape of the Sahel discourages foreign investment because everything costs more to connect. Plus, corruption makes business exceedingly taxing. I could go on, but basically, the region is not an attractive area to conduct business. So, with low human capital and resources, the local governments have unfavourable prospects.
Looking on the bright side, the region is rich in precious metals, which are sought after by advanced manufacturing economies like China, India, Japan, etc. If there was some sense of stability in the Sahel, major economies would readily invest in the region. Especially in the present, since there is a chase for African resources.

- American-Russian relations will not improve with a new US President. One can "reset" diplomatic ties, but it doesn't actually change national interests. In fact, in the coming decades new flashpoint will emerge.
- Neither the US nor Russia is interested in war. However, proxy wars, is a different matter.
- Current low-oil prices are both natural and artificial. It's expected that the prices will rise in 2017.
- The immigration crisis, much like the 2008 financial crisis, is a test for the EU (they failed both tests). I think the collapse of the EU is inevitable.
- As long as there's a common foe to fight, NATO will endure. Russia is once again in the crosshairs.
- Russia can change its policy on Syria, but Ukraine and Azerbaijan are part of Russia's core geopolitical interests. No matter how bad the financial sector gets, Moscow will never abandon its core interests.
- Azerbaijan will become a democratic state when the oligarchy can ensure its wealth and power.
- Poor people in undeveloped countries lack education and economic stability. Without these factors, people become preoccupied with daily survival.

I can understand what you mean. Colonialism ended decades ago and African nations are indeed independent. However, at the present, many European multinational companies are involved in the gross exploitation of Africa’s natural resources.
For instance, Zambia, which relies on copper mining, has long failed to reduce
poverty. An important part of the reason for this is tax avoidance by
multinationals. When copper prices reached a high around the early 2010s, tax avoidance peaked up to 3 USD billion a year.
In recent years, copper prices plummeted and now the multinationals insist that the Zambian government upgrade the mining equipment to increase the industrial output. Since the local government cannot afford a team of international lawyers to correct the injustice, the upgrade is being carried out.
However, this also means that despite its billion dollar mining industry, Zambia is actually losing money. Furthermore, the resulting budget deficits force the government to take up loans from the EIB and the IMF. And the circle goes around. Now, imagine this scenario in every industrial sector, and in nearly every African nation. Its colonialism under a different name and it hinders the development of the continent.
So, let’s be reasonable. African nations should take up responsibility but multinationals should also be held accountable by the hosting governments.

And its even easier to blame the US and the capitalists for everything without even knowing or explaining how stuff works. This isnt FOX news my friend, so you please be more specific in your disagreements and questions. Right now you're arguing about the good intentions of the Cubans and the bad capitalists and the unification of Latin America. These are all seperate issues, but you're welcome to make an easy video as a response to mine, I'll even promote yours!
So here's what I managed to understand and my answers to you. First a major portion of Venezuelan oil workers are Cubans, and they have some of the highest salaries of the lower and middle class of Venezuela. Im not saying Cubans are the bad guys, but this shows that Havana does have some influence on Venezuela's energy industry. Plus the Cuban troops, who serve as the anti-coup mechanism, in Venezuela is real. This should tell you that Chavez didnt trust his own troops. Do some research of these two issues.
Second, no private distrubutor is withholding goods, what kind of propagenda are reading? Here's whats going in. Chavez didnt start the financial crisis and the hyperinflation but he did slow it down (or postpone it) by state-governing everything, and this created a bubble in Venezuela's economy. Now its part of the system. And so believe it or not, its tenfold more profitable to sell milk, meat, and other goods in Columbia for USD, and the return to Venezuela and sell those USD's for VEF's at the black market. Do some research on Chavez's state controlled currency exchange bureau, the CADIVI, and then return for counter arguments. Your obviously passionate on this subject but I would ask to have an open mind, because the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Those are some well defined questions. I'll go over them one by one.
1st. In European and American media, there exists an information gap concerning the Caucasus region. Humans have evolved to make quick analysis on situations. Basically, if you don't know anything about a conflict, you'll end up assuming the easiest explanation. Religious undertones are some of the easiest (and most comfortable) explanations. The only way to reverse wrong presumptions is by educative materials.
2nd. International law is not applied universally. Only if you can enforce regulations (usually by forceful means) does it become just and righteous. Hence, bigger countries can break, bend and rewrite the rules. However, minor nations must abide by the rule or seek a major power who's willing to bend them instead. This final point is what's happening now.
3rd. Politicians tend to lie because sometimes the truth can do more damage than a lie. In this case, pointing out
Russia's role in the 1990s would make no difference and only harm relations with Russia. Only when deliberately damaging the relations with Russia would serve a purpose, would these events the publicly discussed.
4th. The Azerbaijani population was not represented in the Armenian parliament. This led to the uprisings of
ethnic Azerbaijanis in Nakhchivan, see the Republic of Aras. This was one of the reasons why Nakhchivan was granted an autonomy by the Soviet Union.
5th. The Kars and Surmali provinces were annexed by Turkey. With the loss of these territories, the Armenian republic was considered too small to be a union republic. The Soviet Union considered making Armenia an autonomy of Russia but eventually they decided to enlarge the territory of the republic. Therefore the Russian leadership transferred the Azerbaijani populated Zangezur region to Armenia. This made Soviet Armenia large enough to meet the criteria of a union republic.
Hope this helps!

Belal Khalil Well most of the modern Islamic ideologies have their origins in the European colonization of the Islamic world. You may want to watch the Origins of the Muslim Brotherhood report. But all these modern ideas have Ash'arism at it's core.
What you have to understand is that the works of theologian al-Ghazali changed the way Muslims thought about their religion. Prior to al-Ghazali, Mu'tazilism was the main doctrine, it was based on reason and rational thought. Mu'tazilism was greatly influenced by Greek philosophy (mostly by aristotelianism). After al-Ghazali, Ash'arism became the main doctrine of the Islamic world, and Mu'tazilism was branded as a heresy. At it's core Ash'arism argues that the Quran is eternal (just like God), and it rejects science (it's similar to occasionalism). On the other hand, Mu'tazilism argues that only God is eternal and that the Quran was created (and thus is subject to change based on reason). In al-Ghazali's book "The Incoherence of the Philosophers", he writes how fire can be explained through God, not through science.
This took place almost a thousand years ago. So imagine how the mentality changed over time. It is for this reason that many Muslim fundamentalists perceive earthquakes are God's punishment while rain is God's reward. I remember a few years ago, Mohammed Yusuf (the founder of the Nigerian Boko Haram (the group who kidnapped about 200 school girls)), said that "rain is a creation of God rather than an evaporation caused by the sun". So as you can see, every fundamentalist Islamic sect has Ash'arism at it's core.

The name is "Caspian", as it says on my the video. Second I've been accussed for being pro-Zionist, anti-Arab, anti-Russian, anti-Iranian, pro-American, pro-Turkist, pro-Russian, pro-Indian, anti-Chinese, etc. I guess I'll add "Islamist" to the list too.
