eyeball Posted August 22, 2014 Report Posted August 22, 2014 By taking advantage of lax environmental and human right standards. If all OPEC member states had been applying these as they should have been decades ago, prices would have been a lot higher, again as they should have been.

Argus Posted August 22, 2014 Report Posted August 22, 2014 I disagree. I think the behaviour of both countries can be better explained by stupidity and ignorance. Thus actions like supporting Islamists in Syria. But neither the US nor Canada has supported Islamists.

So by that do you believe we're taking advantage of Russia, given its lack environmental and human rights standards?

-1=e^ipi Posted August 23, 2014 Report Posted August 23, 2014 But neither the US nor Canada has supported Islamists. Yes they have, indirectly. They were more interested in fighting a proxy war with Russia and overthrowing Assad than to see the bigger picture. Quote

No I believe we're lowering ourselves to their level. Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

bush_cheney2004 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Posted August 25, 2014 The U.S. is bound by the 1970's peace accords/treaty between Israel and Egypt, which provides for billions in foreign to those countries. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

They do not need foreign aid.Son of Marcus, dub, bud, naomiglover and Hudson Jones? (similar post made in response to similar anti-Jewish post).

Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
