Wait, how about human rights situation in Lebanon? No problems there, or nobody will pay for it?

OK. But this is a bit pathetic. Millions of people around the world have their human rights seriously violated, while human rights panel is busy with compensating some millionaire who had a little inconvenience.

Two ‘cool’ companies teamed-up and made this thing by ordering it from some Chinese factory where all similar items made for no cost as they use semi-slave labor and no ecological standards.

In my opinion, the spread of the virus depends a lot on the society itself. You can’t blame the government solely if the country has lots of ignorant misbehaving people.

I just hope the next US president will not die in the middle of its term because of age. Don’t want to see this election opera for at least 4 more years.

If I were a chief of WHO, even though I have no medical degree, just by knowing that there is some chance that Wuhan virus could lead to a pandemic with millions of dead, I would boldly suggest to all countries to seal the borders with China ASAP and isolate ones arrived from China recently and their contacts. Unfortunately, professionals from WHO did not do that. And did not show any regrets for not doing that. That is why WHO should be heavily reorganized.

China is such an interesting country. Concentration camps: OK. Touching baby-pandas: WHAAAT?!

Sooo, it seems this gamble will be decided in Vegas :)

Everyone relax. These elections were bogus from the beginning. Choosing between an old and even older grumpy man is not much fun.

What bothers me the most is that nobody resigned in WHO after such a mess. It reveals how corrupted and heartless these guys.

What a childo :)

Great story!

Unfortunately, peaceful behavior doesn’t work with China or Russia. Japan should go nuclear and treat NK as part of China. I.e. attack both if NK tries anything. Japan also should agree with Mongolia to allow them to send on their territory their test ballistics over China every time NK does this above Japan.

I think it is just about the tradition too give too much unnecessary respect to a teacher or to a boss and his authority. Self defense is not to be a slave of some idiot with a belt, but to ignore any rules and authority if it will save you from being injured or killed.

I think tyrannies get more exposed and became more fragile because of this virus. Most dictatorships, as expected, reacted inadequate to the pandemic. Therefore we see the rise of protests, revolutions and wars here and there. Even China started to act more aggressive in attempt to switch peoples attention to external ‘enemies’.

So, in 10 years there will be not much progress, but more people involved in the infrastructure. Doesn’t seem like a progress. I would expect the automation will make less people doing silly jobs and cheaper, faster transportation...

I would say the technology is also very close to replace human players with robots.

Poor Americans, have so many smart young energetic people and have to choose between two old idiots. That is a real hoax.

I don’t know. I feel I am the one who is always unwillingly discriminating Japanese in their own country. I can freely ignore multitude of funny but rather restrictive cultural customs and bother everyone with my odd behavior, and I don’t feel any pressure about it since I am just a foreigner, so have a good day.

@Asakaze,

Too flowery metaphor very much more suitable for Poland where the opposition's radio stations are based.

This time opposition plays no role in this. People are just tired of the old dictator and majority voted against him.

Statement based on what? Moscow and Minsk are officially building a united state, it means most of populations of both countries are happy with that.

Not really. Lukashenka and Putin are both outdated dictators and do not represent their nations.

The opposition - may be. The rest of the population of Belorussia is different.

In Belarus there is no such group of people who has any interest to be part of Russia.
