Comments by "Samson Soturian" (@samsonsoturian6013) on "VICE News" channel.

  1. Just so we're clear, army drill sergeants aren't allowed to do a lot of this stuff in most countries. Sleep deprivation and injuries kills actual learning regardless how determined everyone is.
    5300
  2.  @BofaDee33  I've seen the insides of 3 different basics and no, that's no how that works. We like to joke about what is technically allowed but there's several competing ideas of how to run training.
    218
  3. "Biden's friendly immigration stance" Correction: Biden has made no significant change to immigration law so far.
    151
  4. If this really were a charitable movement no one would care whose niche cause came first. Instead people are putting their personal interests ahead of any injustice that may or may not be occurring.
    75
  5. "Interest rate of 15% to encourage investment." You know you got a problem when the average western college student has a better credit rating than the Lebanese government.
    61
  6. This is why you're bankrupt, VICE
    48
  7. He might simply not know who to trust. The assailants knew EXACTLY how to bypass the guards.
    45
  8. That plus the authoritative body language and flashy clothes means she's probably double dealing both sides.
    33
  9. "Stark contrast to what we've seen on the other side of the border" You've never seen the other side of the border. That's a whole different story involving much much larger institutions facing and resolving exponentially larger problems.
    32
  10. Georgians aren't really unified on whether they want NATO memberships. Also, Finland didn't join NATO for the same reason.
    26
  11. That's like saying the Queen of England should have bailed out the Lehman Brothers. It simply makes no logical sense. Besides, if anyone owns Haiti it's the US, as we're the source of their educations, investment, and charity
    26
  12.  @jonathanvillegas7570  except their engineers are subpar at best partially because they rely exclusively of rote memorization but also because the colleges are just the opposite and you can still pass even if you only show up to class half the time. Hense why they have lots of engineers capable of reverse engineering tech, but there's rarely anything new out of China.
    23
  13. Strong unnecessary partisan hints should be removed. You can just say "most elected officials care more about party politics than earmarks."
    21
  14. There's a lot of heart strings being yanked. Most Palestinian sources only report Palestinian deaths if an Israeli killed them. And if they were a little kid, or committed a suicidal attack, or died in battle they become a five minute celebrity like you saw in the video. Keep in mind the same people decrying collateral deaths are the same people teaching kids to say "I want to be a martyr."
    21
  15. For that happen then someone would have to believe there's any chance of them winning. There isn't.
    20
  16. The Feds don't charge for Visas. What did he spend all that on besides plane tickets?
    19
  17. Frankly, the biggest issue with earmarks is micromanagement. Federal departments need a literal Act of Congress to move around even modest funds. This causes delays and mismanagement.
    19
  18. I was expecting a lot of political BS in this, but THIS vice reporter doesn't let politics into his report at all. +1
    17
  19. That's silly. Developed nations have lots of resources, they just don't fight over bags of rocks
    17
  20. To be fair, she doesn't want to get shot.
    17
  21. It's fast money, until you get shot by some degenerate.
    16
  22. Security appears to have been lax at best. At the very least the attackers did their recon and knew when the guards weren't around, but you can't rule out that the hit might have been ordered by someone very close to the President.
    16
  23. Dear VICE. While you're in Bangladesh you might want to look into how they're the drunkest Muslim nation. It's right up your alley.
    16
  24. @winterbreak It varies. There's what prescribed in the program and there's whatever the freakin DS feels like.
    15
  25. To add: Communism is breaking down in Cuba same as it did everywhere else. Many state ventures have far more employees than work, and many other ventures were not filled by the government due to lack of funds (especially smaller needs that rarely come to the attention of central planners). Case in point: That pharmacist at 3:20 that has a job but nothing to sell. Raúl Castro started laying off workers and allowing more small businesses in stages, but the same issues with central planning persist. Current President Miguel Díaz-Canel hasn't officially addressed these problems yet.
    15
  26. "Strict blockade on goods." Wrong verb. Near all of Gaza's essentials come from or through Israel. The IDF does searches of every passing truck for contraband ranging from weapons to drugs to the precursors of both. This makes many Gazans very angry, but they know as well as everyone else it isn't a "blockade" because that would cause immediate starvation.
    15
  27.  @thepromking29  why'd anyone with a reliable internet connection be jealous of anyone in that shithole? And even the reporter in the video knew she had some sort of racket going.
    15
  28. I thought some sections of the internet were living in their own little worlds... Turns out some of them are.
    14
  29. @jmrabinez9254  No. And there are rules about how much sleep deprivation is allowed and injuries are seen by a nurse
    13
  30. It's the Phillipines. Everyone's gangster
    13
  31. Not just corruption, but an OSHA nightmare. Visitors say there are electric wires strewn across the road in places, people in dense urban markets fire guns into air for celebrations, and in one case there was an explosion at a refugee camp because the local revolutionaries stored explosives next to the oxygen tanks. And yes, major fires are routine.
    13
  32. Just imagine that conversation: "Despacho estamos en camino con el sospechoso. Llama al psicólogo y dile que estos gringos se creen que todos somos matones de la CIA."
    13
  33. People in Myanmar keep bringing pens to a gunfight...
    13
  34. Shut up, Shane.
    13
  35. This is why you went bankrupt, Shane
    12
  36. Complaints about release dates are clearly a matter of backlogs. Just because number of arrests goes up doesn't mean they can be booked and tried faster.
    12
  37. He means the Feds and/or local police. Check if there's a warrant out for his arrest.
    12
  38. Cuba doesn't have elections.
    12
  39. Who knows. Maybe they'll start fighting over turf.
    11
  40. Just because you were born here, doesn't mean anyone cares what you think
    11
  41. So much hoopla over such a small matter.
    11
  42. 5:00 That's the army way of doing exercise. And yes, healthy amount of excercise does help get drugs out of your system and out of your mind.
    10
  43. Sudan has been at war with itself in one way or another for its entire history.
    10
  44. Can we not abuse the word crisis so much? At the rate we're going "crisis" will be redefined to be synomynous with "conflict."
    10
  45. It's what you get when skilled workers have zero money but still got to get stuff done.
    10
  46. @Tony Coniglio  we say that but it is never true.
    9
  47. Finite amout of those jobs. And rent is expensive in Florida, you can expect both migrants and long time residents to start moving north.
    9
  48. It's a simple matter of the geostrategic chessboard. Can Moscow take Kiev cleanly before NATO even knows what's happening? The answer is no, which is why instead of war we get idiot reporters and politicians arguing in circles.
    9
  49. Does anyone really care what those jerkwads do to each other?
    9
  50. Physically impossible since all the warring factions are also fighting over what aid comes in and/or are blockade key roads to their enemies to prevent them from getting war materials. So unless you want the US to come in and act as sheriff, I'd ask you to not blame shift. Besides, a lot of the world's richest people are also the biggest donors to charity.

  51. Found the dealer

  52.  @jessicaxhanning2111  I'm a historian. I actually had to check as part of my work. Biden's cronies were actually "relieved" when a Federal judge reinstated the remain in Mexico policy and only made minor tweaks. I have seen no other orders given from the current administration as he is preoccupied with unrelated matters. The border wall is still being built. Policies don't instantly change with a new POTUS.

  53. Worse than that, there's a list of common cheats mostly availableto people in high places, but that doesn't stop most Chinese parents from trading their child's happiness for the family's possible success.
    8
  54.  @walkingdead171  you won't get poisoned directly, but the long term exposure to it causes main illnesses (many neurological). The phrase "mad as a hatter" came from how in the 19th century before the effects of mercury were discovered, men who made fur hats would gradually go insane and die.
    8
  55. Dude this isn't remotely new, Russia is a big country that is involved and a lot of conflicts at any given time
    8
  56. Even if that were true, much of Russia's fire equipment is closer to Greece than Yakutia.
    7
  57. Found the stoner
    7
  58. IIRC, Ethiopian states have a constitutional right to succeed but Abbis Abba never honored that. I haven't seen any specific casus belli for this war, but the state has been ruled by a local armed party since the Ethiopian Civil War.
    7
  59.  @samtheshame9951  there's no evidence that occurred.
    7
  60. There's more in Russia than politics
    7
  61.  @aboucard93  you mind lending me that crystal ball when you're done with it? This is Haiti for crying out loud, basic competency is a rarity in all walks of life.
    7
  62. These guys have money to feed themselves but not their own children too........
    7
  63. That won't stop the fighting.
    7
  64. They've developed a strong preferrence for anti-anxiety medicine. They're the biggest consumer per capita.
    7
  65. The PCD guy is talking out his butt. He wouldn't know whether or not they were "all civilians" as no one knows where all the soldiers in Gaza live as their are hundreds of factions. He also spends the entire time yanking heart strings instead of reporting any real investigation or cleanup so he's pretty much worthless.
    6
  66. Extreme crime rates. It's easy for gangs to form within the government.
    6
  67. 3:25 That's basically a catalogue of every army that ever went to Africa. There's Belgian FALs and Brownings from colonial era, there's M16s from the Cold War, M1 Garands, Lee-Enfields, and many other odds and ends carbines. The reason is Africa has very few factories of its own and mostly rely on either foreign imports or antiques from WWII and/or old colonial armies.
    6
  68. "The case is part of a broader assault on the Amazon." And yet, you have no interest in stating what the lawsuit is about, who's the plaintiff, or what arguments are presented.
    6
  69. Most of the stuff is localized and has nothing to do with the main Houthis-Hadi fighting. I saw one piece on an "insane asylum" that has all the marks of a clandestine jail.
    6
  70. @The Big Kiwi and why would I care about that? The fact if the matter is there's not one iota of evidence that points to voter fraud from either party nor any connection between Trump and Putin nor Biden encouraging illegal migration. It's all just libel that highlights why many countries have censorship laws.
    6
  71. Don't take Mr.Gomes' word for it. He probably did help steal a car, but that doesn't make it any less annoying to constantly become a suspect over and over because of a cheap camera.
    6
  72. If I were Nigerian police, I'd arrest all the hostage negotiators and make them cough up the names and locations of all their contacts. The question we must ask is, why hasn't that happened?
    6
  73.  @thomism1016  Ooph. I know. Everyone on these videos pretends they know all there is about the continent when they don't even know what an Afrikaner is.
    6
  74. Lose the whataboutism, liar.
    6
  75. There was no genocide during the actual underground railroad either.
    6
  76.  @houdini5538  you ain't helping anyone
    6
  77. I'm disappointed but not surprised. I'm sure all the fools behind this are in this very thread blaming the other side for their own antics.
    6
  78. The Taliban is a cartel, and Kadyrov ain't into Sharia. I don't know who you're comparing to the Taliban.
    6
  79.  @aligmal5031  it sure as hell ain't. Construction on some buildings has stated and there are many scale models and artist renderings and grand announcements but that's it.
    6
  80. No, it suggests it. Security appears to have been lax for a long time, which isn't surprising in Haiti where few skilled professionals of any kind exist. It could be the assailants did their recon and knew when the guards would all be in bed, or out drinking, or having dinner.
    6
  81. They're probably going to get busted for weed eventually.
    5
  82. We could end this war any time we wanted to, but we have no interest in the region.
    5
  83. 2:37 What is he talking about protecting Jerusalem? They're in Jenin and the Israelis control the city for the moment.
    5
  84. You don't know the half of it. I don't let people thank me for service and no one comprehends why I'd rather go to war with conscripts.
    5
  85.  @looseygoosey1349  migrants didn't say that. Liars on the internet said that. And Biden's campaign promises were just fluff as wouldn't know how the system works.
    5
  86.  @davidz2562  he made a campaign promise, but progress on the barriers remained unchanged as of this week. Again, he's preoccupied with unrelated matters and the bureaucracy is apolitical and doesn't instantly change with a new POTUS.
    5
  87.  @mr.meesicks1801  sure, bribery works wonders in Sudan and Washington could easily do that, but have no illusions that whomever loses the elections in Sudan will start a war.
    5
  88. I wish this story was remotely true.
    5
  89. You want the US to seize the port cities and use our charity to lift most of the symptoms? That's ok, just note we'd be effectively at war with both sides.
    5
  90.  @DieNibelungenliad  yeah right. As if the very Arabs and conspiritards demonizing Israel have done anything significant in decades
    5
  91. The bribes are the only part of this that is remotely surprising or concerning.
    5
  92. That's not exactly what the case here is. The two caveats are Japan places extremely high values on the integrity and reputation of institutions, so they'll only prosecute if they know beforehand they'll win. Also, their justice system is largely the same as back in the samurai days when armed clans had all the power, meaning there aren't many rules about what they can't do.
    5
  93. 24:30 It sounds like they were trying to generate paperwork to make it look like they were doing something when they actually weren't. Consider the possibility that the men in charge of storing the nitrate were the ones stealing it over time, hence why they didn't move it. Or it could be Customs was trying to get the courts to let them sell it so they could pocket the cash while the dock workers were siphoning it off in the meantime.
    5
  94. Who said anything about either of those, it's just a lazy and effective way to give someone grief. And no, civilized countries do not put up with this
    5
  95. Not all Africans came as slaves.
    5
  96.  @evilovesperry  I know dozens of slang terms for murder, so your condescension doesn't even make sense, normie.
    5
  97. They won't. Because we ain't a mass of quasi-literate thieves and bullies.
    5
  98.  @user-em6ie2be7x  I'm a historian. I don't get my factual info from advocacy groups. Like this video, it presented as fact the lawsuit was part of a larger campaign to take native land and culture, an assertion that would only need to be made if the scriptwriters thought that reasonable people might believe the opposite. They also ignore the who, what, and why of the lawsuit making this an obvious garbage editorial from the start. They also make no distinction between the many different native groups in Brazil that feud with each other as often as anyone else. They also deliberately imply that all of the outsiders investing in the Amazon are mafiosos and political cronies which is simply false.
    5
  99.  @agentofsorros  that's hilariously baseless. You can't just say there were both separatists and Islamic extremists in Chechnya back then?

  100. Whilst you are guilty of all the same antics but are blaming your rivals.

  101. Unsustainable? Try impractical or decadent or unprofitable.

  102. This is actually the first piece I've seen about everyday life in Guyana.

  103. Vice is a western source. They only care about collateral damage when civilized people do it.

  104. Same part of the world where a large portion of telemarketing scams come from.......

  105. The contradictions of animal rights groups. PETA animal shelters euthanize strays while equating meat with murder too.....

  106. It means they will charge and trample a toddler if they get too close.

  107. They can shut up

  108. I think she liked being outcast by what you say.

  109. None of the adults look hungry. And if they were starving I'm sure the men would either surrender or commit to an all out attack.

  110. The Lebanese government is largely defunct and all of Lebanon is involved in some racket or another.

  111. He's definitely more badass than you'll ever be.

  112. Don't be silly. They lack the competency and integrity to do so.

  113. Farmers and fishermen need the rivers to stay put and the miners take sediment faster than rivers will replenish it. People living by the river find their house is no longer safe because they took the embankment and the rest eroded away.

  114.  @Gr3kiZon3  that was before science discovered tiny doses of heavy elements were bad for you.

  115. No double standard, but bribery and/or deriliction of duty. I.E. if the plaintiff is a rich government bureacrat, he might hurt you if you say no.
    4
  116. Bolsonaro had nothing to do with this. And his policy with the Amazon is no different than the last dozen Brazilian presidents. And no one is trying to genocide the natives at this time.
    4
  117.  @poal573  virtually all the Brazilians are native. I mean this literally, as there's only about 400,000 ethnic Europeans in all Brazil all of which were born in country. The "outsiders" these "natives" are feuding with are simply native to the much more populous and industrialized south of the country.

  118. No one subscribes for the silly politics, vice.

  119. Shut up, VICE

  120. Lebanon never had sharia.

  121. Not sure, but most STDs in Russia were transmitted during Soviet era blood transfusions. Back in those days they put all the blood from thousands of donors in one container.

  122. Nobody from his work tells him anything by the sounds of it.....

  123. Forcibly, anyway. Ask a lawyer for details.

  124. Tell that to Mr Musk who openly doesn't care about money.

  125. It never wasn't Balkanized.

  126. Right, because screaming and ridiculing men with guns always works...
    3
  127. Except they were specifically uninvited, so bad analogy
    3
  128. The reporter seemed pretty argumentative in some of these interviews. And there's clear skews in the sources and a reliance on hearsay.
    3
  129. People would rather see reputable news sources regurgitate partisan bs no questions asked.
    3
  130. Shut up, VICE.

  131.  @TheZachary86  US sanctions haven't changed much in the past few years. Trade with Venezuela did dry up, though. If you don't know anything about the country in question, don't make broad damnations.
    3
  132.  @Cinnam0nr0ll  a lot of socialist see the word "Cuba" in the headline and immediately start complaining about sanctions. Not sure if that applies to this guy, though
    3
  133. Watch the video
    3
  134. The shenanigans to avoid collateral damage get pretty weird. At one point the Israelis would blow a rocket above a building to scare off bystanders, but Hamas soldiers figured that out and assembled a mob to stand on the roof.
    3
  135. There's been weirder, I assure you.
    3
  136. That is the most absurd thing I heard all day, and I encountered a illuminati believer an hour ago.

  137. Dude this is old news

  138. It's as essential as farming.

  139.  @monicarenee7949  liar. The things the video complain about simply aren't legal in the US. That's why you see US media whining about it while Japanese people don't care.

  140. They don't have a dictator at this time

  147. Really? I saw all the men and women yelling about how someone else should end the war for them. You can't blame shift genders when they're all guilty.
    3
  148. Bushido. When armed clans had all the power. Although in this case I'd wager part of the reason for the high conviction rate is prosecutors won't charge unless they're absolutely sure they can win. As others on this thread said, Japan places extremely high values on maintaining the integrity and reputation of their institutions.
    3
  149. Impressive this man has been able to cover such gangs for so many years. Most others would have gotten offed for asking so many questions by now.

  155. VICE is preoccupied with dissidents and medicine, of course, but I'd wager there's shortages on a lot of stuff that needs covered.
    3
  156.  @epicfail5473  pretty standard crybullying and hypocrisy for the region. Protesting and eating while their kids starve.

  162.  @guttergod268  But they don't, and it wouldn't matter if they did.

  163. Seriously, though. A lion poses a threat to any humans living nearby. There's little kids living in the farms getting harassed by pigs.

  164. You know they'll just deport them? Like how they deported that recent migrant caravan for us?

  166. The Brazilians?

  167. That makes no logical sense.

  168. Cyanide is harmless if you have the antidote. IIRC, it reacts with cyanocobalin to form vitamin B12. The only problem is you need the equipment and expertise not to kill yourself. Also there's simply not enough of the mercury to poison the only country, but there's enough to render the immediately area downstream of the mines uninhabitable.
    3
  169. You know a lot of the dealers mix random household chemicals in the drugs because they have no idea what they're doing, right? Hamilton found rat poison, HIV medicine, multivitamins, and so forth. They as have a murder rate over 50 times the US average. It's a literal warzone.
    3
  170. Come on. You say that but we all know you don't practice what you preach. Besides, life expectancies are much shorter in that part of the world, and "overpopulation" becomes a self correcting problem due to occasional food shortages.
    3
  171. They ain't citizens of France any more than they're citizens of Liberia.

  172. It's Durban. There's not many people who know how to make this stuff and they're very poor. They take what they can get, even if they have to dilute their meth with rat poison.

  180. Your knowledge is highly fragmentary. Hamas and PIJ isn't Sheik Jarrah. They aren't even part of the Palestinian Authority. The Palestinian Authority has been at war with the Islamists since 2007. The Sheik Jarrah was a civil land issue, but that didn't stop general riots in the West Bank. At this point the Palestinian internal war got involved as both sides tried to one-up each other and look like the leader of resistance and gain support among Palestinians. Needless to say, since Gaza was already at war with Israel this quickly turned into an ineffective rocket bombardment (more Hamas rockets exploded in Gaza than made it through Israel's air defenses).

  181. Ha. We're humans, nothing is ever perfect.

  182. There's no one government deciding who is and is not allowed in. Even if you do have a passport you'll get detained and interrogated by paranoid militias. Likewise, Damascus will assume that any aid effort is at least in part a subversive scheme... Also, the state-run charities are a scam which is why they divert all humanitarian aid programs to the government,
    2
  183. Do not ascribe to malice what can be adequately explained by incompetence. Vice is an American leftist source and indescriminately supports "natives" even if they don't know basic facts about the country in question. A lot of these guys think the "non-natives" are Spaniards and a lot of people blame Bolsonaro for everything in Brazil simply because he encouraged investment in the Amazon.
    2
  184. Lose the blame game

  185.  @cyberyan2000  I'm a historian, I heavily prefer neutral terminology. Men with weapons that take orders are soldiers even if they are internationally called "terrorists" and locally called "martyrs" and "freedom fighters."

  188. District 9 was made by a white South African. The belligerent interviews at the beginning of the movie were adapted from Johannesburg Bantus speaking of the Botswanan migrants.

  189. No casus belli is given. But the Ethiopian states have been on and off at war with each for as far back as records go. The current situation is on paper each state has the right to succeed, but each successionist movement has had to fight the government in practice.
    2
  190.  @midbc1midbc199  there's a lot of dugouts and mini-bunkers throughout Gaza, but most soldiers their heavily rely on anonymity and nearly the whole population lives above ground. I saw one case recently where a Hamas office was destroyed and reports surfaced at neighboring buildings where known Hamas members told locals not to speak of whom they saw coming and going. Most tunnels are tiny, only enough room for a grown man to easily crawl in. On the Egyptian border they use ropes and sleds to move goods.

  191. A lot of those women weren't wearing hijabs, they're probably indigenous Christians or non-observing Muslims.

  194.  @idontevenhaveapla7224  did we sanction the import of medicine within the last year? Life in Cuba does NOT revolve around us. I can't find if there's a shortage of anything besides medicine, but there is a general recession. Part of which is due to fall of their trade partner Venezuela and another part due to the fall of their best export: Doctors.

  198.  @HoussamNekkaa  leave Lebanon to those of us that know a thing about Lebanon.
    2
  199. Most of the infrastructure and hirer education was built by the French colonial government and later some US investors. Year after year, a little more of it falls apart due to corruption, incompetence, and infighting. Year after year, people borrow or scam to maintain their lifestyles. For instance, it's common practice in Lebanon to lure in immigrants with promises of pay they can't keep. Once in country they take the "kafala's" passport and don't pay them, or lock them up, or beat them, or use them as sex slaves. Lebanon is the largest abuser per capita of prescription meds. IDK what effect that had on the hospital in the video. The railroads were abandoned during the civil war and were never rebuilt. But there's still a railroad department that draws a budget. Large fires due to the total lack of occupational safety is common. State subsidized gasoline which was how many Lebanese could afford driving. Much of said gasoline wasn't sold in Lebanon, which was fraud. Much of the gasoline was smuggled into Syria for money. Much of the subsidy money was pinched. Suddenly the state runs out of money and the gas stations run out of gas. The list goes on. And on. And on.
    2
  200. Depends what kind of loan. Collateralized debt like a mortgage gets a much better rate than that while credit cards are worse. In Lebanon most banks are one man shows near indistinguishable from the many loan sharks (Hawalas). These have little regulation and near zero enforcement so Beirut is a hotspot for money laundering. Also the rates charged by these men are often extreme. Rates anywhere from 10% to 50% are not uncommon.

  211.  @marys3738  YouTube censor algorithm is mostly key word based. If you used a word in several previous comments that got flagged for any reason then it will be auto removed. I heard of a case where the Chinese characters meaning "Communist gangster" was getting removed. YouTube fixed that and said it was due to Chinese Communists misusing the report button.
    2
  212. As if this isn't widely known in Egypt. They just don't care.

  213. You ask the wrong questions about the Neighborhood Resistance Committees. Are these gangs armed? What are their relationship to each other? What methods do they use to sponsor these protests? Who's in charge of these gangs? Are they just using protestors as human shields or are they running an assassination/bribery campaign too?
    2
  214. But given the conditions of the "hospital," we must ask how many of the patients were admitted under false pretenses. I've seen it happen elsewhere; You want to get rid of your comrade without consequences, so you trump up a story about psych conditions. Given the administrator is clearly not a shrink, I'd wager he gets kickbacks from select militia commanders.

  220.  @FL3MZA  don't lie to me, you eat/ate meat like the rest of us. And even if you didn't you're openly complicit in the slaughterhouses. So don't pretend you don't recoil in horror at genocide and cannibalism while not caring about what happens to a rat's ribcage when it sets off a trap.

  230.  @user-pi4su6je8p  Almost. The emperor and Britain argued over terms, so the emperor started kidnapping Brits and held them for ransom. Britain seized Abbis Abba, but didn't think colonizing the place was worth the effort, so they left after freeing the captives.

  264.  @senseishu937  statistically speaking a "rough neighborhood" in Africa or Latin America is more violent than a "warzone" in Palestine. It's just with the latter every small incident has volumes of articles and pictures taken, and about 200 fabricated social media posts have been found so far that obfuscate all the real incidents. Also, due to the Hamas-Fatah Conflict and a variety of clan wars, Palestinians fight each other as often as anyone else, but here an opposite problem is encountered where clan members are unwilling to discuss any details.

There's kafalas, generator mafias, substance abuse, politicized army, the feuding militias, weed monopolies, gas subsidy scams, gas smuggling, the loan sharks posing as banks, the money laundering, the abuse/disenfranchisement of Syrian and Palestinian Refugees, the defunct railroads that somehow still cost money, and so on and so forth.
    2
  287.  @mauricio9564  I didn't quite say that now did I. But by all accounts we're dealing with systemic issues in which official corruption is the tip of the iceberg. There's the kefala slavery scams, ubiquitous abuse of prescription medicine and tobacco and hash, black market guns, price gouging, loan sharks, petty bribery, generator mafias, defunct rails, universities that border on fake guru scams, wasta, rioting, nepotism, discrimination/disenfranchisement of permanent Syrian and Palestinian refugees, militias own the streets in most areas, smuggling across the border into Damascus, and so on and so forth. Lebanon can only blame the Lebanese for these problems.

  339. Possibly. But censorship doesn't happen overnight in India as they pretend to have free press. Someone would have to trump up defamation or espionage charges and buy off investigators/judges. Usually that only happens when you tick off a hotshot directly.
    1
  340.  @foxtrot9977  Oddly specific demand. But the fact if how the law works is defamation is a felony, and you can't argue that the statements were true or satirical. All that matters is if the statements express "hatred or contempt, or excite or attempt to excite disaffection." The Indian Supreme Court upheld the law saying "An individual's freedom of speech is balanced by an individual's right to reputation." Case in point, Swedish professional moron PewDiePie trash talked his competitor for largest YouTube channel T-Series (Indian music media). He straight up said his statements weren't defamation since they were ridiculous and obvious satire. But that didn't matter in India, where he was banned from the country. There was also a #MeToo activist who escaped defamation charges, a Dehli student union leader was charged for "anti-national" speeches, a cartoonist was arrested for allegedly mocking the constitution, a business college filed criminal complaints to prevent the publication of ridicule against them, and you should already see the pattern. Mid-level political enemies are the main target. You must realize that the men spreading conspiracy theories on this very video could theoretically also be charged with defamation.

  377. Don't shift blame, for all we know this has been going on for decades and it may be a total scam. I've seen it elsewhere in the world where you want to get rid of your comrade without running afoul of the law, so you exaggerate a story about his mental illness. If you are friends or a... "Business partner" of the shrinks they'll go through the motions of admitting the subject no questions asked. I'd wager the militias that fund this hospitals can have whomever they want admitted.

They depend on the US for over a 3rd of their trade and export ag goods and import manufactured goods.

  389.  @asternoah5534  Kenya has had a coup since decolonization and there's plenty of crime in South America. It isn't a perfect correlation, but it is a clear correlation. Local geopolitics are more important than anything else, as coups are most common in independent states undergoing a succession crisis of one sort or another. There's also a correlation between crime and poverty too.

  396.  @sjewitt22  no. The sanctions have seen few changes in recent years, although they did have an immediate massive effect when first enforced in the Cold War. And the US-centric approach to Cuban Affairs is quite annoying. Cuba lost tens of billions of dollars when their contracts for doctors was canceled, and lost tens of billions of dollars more when their oil trade with Venezuela ended. Meanwhile Trump's restrictions on tourism is said to have cost Cuba only 1 billion dollars. I can't find why specifically medicine is in short supply though

  490. About the "LGBQ genocide," besides the misuse of the word genocide we can't verify anything about the incidents. Allegedly certain men were beaten for being gay, but in Muslim countries being called gay is like being called a pedo: People baselessly throw the allegation at anyone they hate. On top of that, Chechnya's official response to the incidents was there could not have been abuse against gays because, they said, they had none. Also, this is Russia, where there has NEVER been any gay culture whatsoever nor any gays that I know of outside this incident (LGBQ is a distinctly western thing). All that said, it is more likely that certain men were jailed on fraudulent homosexuality charges than any other crime. Kadyrov was probably telling the truth at 6:30 when he said the witch hunt they had been on was totally baseless.

This was made worse by Soviet monopoly, as Lenin started the trend of destroying capitalism by debasing the currency. Even jeans had black markets since they weren't made in the USSR. The few that trickled in sold for as much as $300.

Of course, that doesn't count many vast areas which were ruled in name only. With Ethiopia, it came down to a matter of costs. Cost of getting a garrison and railroad into those mountains versus profit from a trade monopoly. More importantly, the Ethiopian emperors were rarely opposed to becoming a protectorate, they just never could agree on terms.

We actually don't know why these guys are fighting, but several reports established there's actually a bunch of local militias involved on both sides. It is likely the allies of one side started an independent war with allies of the other and it escalated from there.

  545.  @zzyzx2297  A few lucky individuals may, yes. But on aggregate no one gets richer from sin, they just make everyone else poorer. Also, wars involving precisely two parties are actually pretty rare, usually there are several competing groups that all want their cut.

  551. According to the memoires of one PLO hotshot, you can buy any verdict you want. Also, they're pretty vague on taxes on the rich. The trouble in Lebanese taxes is only a small portion is income taxes which are easily bracketed to tax high incomes at a higher rate. Most Lebanese taxes are all sorts of small taxes, fees, and tarriffs on everything from olive oil to business permit fees which tend to effect all users of the stuff equally. What they don't touch on is just how much brawling there was over a matter of 6 dollars a month. People rioted in the streets and assaulted police with stones and arson over that small amount of money.

  589.  @asternoah5534  by that standard you could count this current period as peaceful as these events only effect the residents of Khartoum. An archeologist friend of mine who was in the north of Sudan was actually unaware al-Bashir had been removed when she got back. On that note notice it is often hard to tell how much fighting there is in Sudan as often the Sudanese themselves don't know what's happening outside their area. In one case, roaming bands of pirates straight up stole many farms in rural areas and we only knew about it because there were expat works nearby to tell about it.

  597.  @ergoncardia  I'm sure that's how it works somewhere, but not Brazil. The key factor is there's simply so much junk going on that any half decent measure to destroy evidence will likely get the authorities off you. But you still have to worry about the victim taking revenge. Also rich people do go to prison or get revenge murdered, often when their crimes are impossible to hide or when they get in a feud with other oligarchs (a problem you can't bribe your way out of). One key statistic is most known murders involve cops. Not because cops are more violent than anyone else, but because mostly cops are reporting crimes. So it really is no surprise that a combination of cheap equipment, cheap cops, and a cheap judge will do this. Also, the suspect interviewed prolly did steal a car and get away with it. And that public defender isn't any different, as you see she's a young lawyer with a huge caseload and a political agenda. She's as much garbage as the rest of them.

  621. One of the horror stories was that, allegedly, a couple men were beaten for the charge of being gay. Chechnya, of course, denied the incident, but also said it could not have happened because there were no gays in Chechnya. Caveats: 1. There really are no gays of any consequence in Russia. LGBQ is a western thing. 2. In Muslim countries, being called gay is like being called a pedo. People throw around the allegation at anyone they hate. Did someone get beaten with a fraudulent homosexuality charge? Either way, this report has no original research and baselessly uses the term genocide. Most things presented as fact are actually rumors that may or may not have been exaggerated in the retelling. Also they fail to mention there really are Islamic extremists in Chechnya and you can't ascribe everything that happens there to Kadyrov's regime.

  698. That sure as hell isn't the reason, as the sanctions only apply to a handful of Hezbollah soldiers. The reason comes down to incompetence, corruption, and infighting. For instance, for a couple decades the electricity broke often and was repaired slowly. There are only a handful of qualified linemen and they would hire their personal friends to pad the budget. When they did work it was almost always to fix lines that lead to their neighborhoods or to the house of someone with bribe money. This gave rise to "generator mafias" who owned private generators they'd rent to neighbors at inflated prices. That is but a small part of the degeneracy.

  737. The Yemenis. All of them. Long story short, the rural parts of Yemen had relatively little government presence before the war and much of the country were loyal to tribes or local strongmen. Many of these in the northwestern part of the country had allied with the Egyptians during the last civil war in the 1960's. Gang wars were frequent but records are poor. At the top was Saleh, an abusive dictator. In a general revolt and mass defection, his deputy Hadi forced him to resign. This change did not satisfy many rebels, and Saleh vied for his job back. Allying with the Houthi cartel, a group seeking autonomy and/or independence, they launched an invasion of the capital Sanaa. They promptly turned on each other with Saleh killed in a street battle and most of his soldiers going neutral, or joining the Houthis, or even rejoining Hadi's forces. Hadi's government fled to Aden where it still is. The rest is mostly several foreign interventions at cross purposes that came piecemeal. A whole lot of major defections have occurred and most towns are not controlled by either side, with a few of them even declaring DAESH or al-Qaeda affiliations.

  775.  @faizaanwar3662  I somehow have a feeling that's an ironic statement from you. There are many clues in the video, the doctor getting angry and defensive when asked about conditions for the patients is only one of them. Where do these guys get their funding? There's no government and the families of the inmates can't afford to feed their own kids. Are they getting paid by the same militias that are recommending these men get locked up? The inmate's speech was guarded and they were quite calm and gave the most basic facts about themselves in spite allegedly being crazy and tied up. This likely means they get in trouble for complaining. Also, they tied all these guys up because escapes are both their biggest problem and biggest concern. And finally, the people running the show are NOT qualified healthcare professionals. All this together and it seems this asylum is largely fraudulent. It's a prison for hire taking inmates from anyone who will pay.
    1
  776.  @faizaanwar3662  assumptions? You didn't read what I said because this ain't a conspiracy theory. And I repeat, these people are not doctors and they're paid to keep people locked up in the "asylum."

  799.  @louiloui4707  now you're just a big fat liar, as Lebanon never gave any refugee a damn thing. They all squatted on land to the infuriation of locals and were ignored by the government so that the street of the camps were taken over by gangs. The Palestinians are the grandchildren of actual refugees and have lived there all their lives and are still disenfranchised and subject to deportation (even the ones with dual citizenship). The Syrian refugees included a large numbers of soldiers and gangbangers so there was quickly a series of wars over turf. Marriages between Citizens and Refugees are discouraged, and Refugees have difficulty finding jobs as few Citizens will hire them due to parentage. It should be noted that one of the big concessions most Arab states wanted from Israel was the "unconditional repatriation of refugees" when that entails the unconditional depopulation of the squatter camps. Lebanon really did reap what they sow.

Many state run ventures have employees but no work, while other areas are neglected due to lack of funds and/or attention from bigwigs. Case in point: That pharmacist at 3:20 that has nothing to sell. US sanctions haven't changed much over the decades.

  852. Infighting, corruption, incompetence. For instance, weed was illegal but extremely common in Lebanon until recently.

  869.  @davidwebb4904  that means the prosecutors will only go to trial if they know in advance they'll win, that doesn't necessarily mean they'll falsify evidence. Other people on this thread pointed out that Japan places extreme values on maintaining the integrity and reputation of institutions. In other words, a prosecutor who loses just might resign out of embarrassment. Interesting how subtle cultural trends produce bizarre norms, isn't it?

  954. The UN is completely useless, and the wars they're credited with "ending" only occurred because all the belligerents were willing to settle on terms. And there's a lot more in Yemen besides a proxy war.

  955. Intolerant? That's a weird word to use for the most violent gangs in the world.

  956. It's called quid pro quo and yes it's banned. Although proving it is difficult with intangible items (like putting in a food word for someone at committee).

  962. These Arab soldiers don't have any idea what they're doing and the drills are just for show. They're pointing guns every which way, they're all looking at roofs for some reason, I see from insignia there's both Hamas and PIJ (rival rebel groups in the Westbank) all mixed together, and they fired into the air and gave away their position. This drill is more likely to identify their ranks and location to the Shin Bet than anything else.

  965.  @btwk1157  according to the Quoran, it's punishable by death. But Bangladeshi's consumption per capita tops even Russia, and Russia's average life expectancy is at least 10 years lower than it should due to near universal substance abuse (accurate stats are not available for Bangladesh).

  968. VICE doesn't control the comments. YouTube auto deletes any comment with certain key words or to many flags. While on Reddit, the moderators are humans, but these are just users and NOT Reddit employees. Most of the pure anarchy of Reddit is just ordinary people trying to control public opinion or are just power tripping.

  970.  @HoussamNekkaa  he has a Nigerian name and is regurgitating libel that floats around English language editorials. He probably spreads libel about his political enemies everywhere regardless if it makes sense.

  975.  @kec420  none of them do. If they did, they'd be dead. All the major activists I know of had children, as many of these fools are really elitists that want to weed out poor and stupid people.

  993.  @chaymabh2050  exploitation became a pejorative because it was the word the Dutch used to refer to their development of the Congo. The many crimes there got the term changed to mean "systemic robbery" or "slave-like conditions." These days it's just an insult incompetent socialists throw at any and all businesses. With the funeral business, the word you're looking for is cutthroat competition. You see how prices are dirt cheap and they hang around murder/accident scenes. It would be strange if these guys started fighting each other for turf.....

  1014. Treason is a different sort of crime. You'll find with most servicemen... They all seek out sex and few of them care how they get it. The divorce rate is really high because domestic incidents are not uncommon.

  1015. These ain't cheap. It takes 10 grand of equipment and skilled machinist a full day to make an inferior product. To compare, licensed manufacturers have assembly lines and millions of dollars of equipment that can make better guns with few man hours.

  1016.  @trickytrent5146  not one that can print to the standards needed to make a gun. A nice one is easily 6 grand and I saw one large printer selling for 67 grand.

  1025. There's never any shortage of motives to knock off a head of state. It might have been a personal matter, it might be the new Haitian President, it might have been one of the aforementioned gangs that the President was moving against, it might have been an international cartel that had problems with him, or it may be something that no one has ever heard of before.
