I was. In rural Switzerland, about 40 years ago, we (my friends and I) were slapped with a stick on the ass by old teachers borned in the beginning of the XXth century. I'm not sure it was a good teaching system. But educationally speaking, if it was done for good reasons and not too brutally, it was not that horrible. Now I've got several questions. Which foreign languages do you learn at school? Are your schools programs national or departmental? You get among the best mathematicians and physicists in the planet, is it because your school programs insist a lot on these branches or that has nothing to do? Is it correct that during the USSR time, you had to play chess at school? Last edited by Roubignol; April 10th, 2018 at 06:22 PM.. |

It seems to me the policies of all countries are the same. They live in their world, they are a special caste. Their only function is to twaddle to the naive populace. |

I am kinda wondering why the Russian government is telling its people to prepare for nuclear war with the US. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world...cid=spartandhp
This article is the first I have heard of this warning. I don't know anyone in the US who gives two shits about Syria or if Assad uses chemical weapons on his own people. I don't know anyone who gives a shit about what Trump says about it either. So he may order some missile strikes on Syrian bases launching chemical attacks. None of us think it will stop the chemical attacks or that anyone will do much about it either. It seems much like a poker bluff. I understand some Russians are upset about their mercenaries getting killed in Syria, but what did they expect? Hell, Trump has already said he wants to pull out of Syria, why would you cause us to stay there? N Vietnam waited for the US military to get out of S Vietnam before they overran it. You would think that Assad/Putin would similarly wait. |

Is it just a matter of honour (i.e. Russia promised to support him and will therefore not break its word) or is there any big economic or ethnic consideration? I genuinely don't understand. |

There are two points of view on this problem (Russia in Syria). Some believe that Putin came to Syria to pressure Turkey on the construction of the gas pipeline. As proof of this opinion is that the Russian troops mostly fought not with ISIS but with Pro-Turkish militants. Thus, Putin seemed to be an expression of the interests of the Russian resourse oligarchy. Alternative opinion. An unstable society always needs an enemy-internal and external. That the population was distracted from real problems or believed that it lives badly because of intrigues of enemies. It's an old scheme. Internal enemy appointed opposition, which" rocking the boat", that is, opposes Putin. The external enemy is the West, first of all the USA. The war in Syria is a kind of show for the Russian citizen. This war seem to justify the hard life of Russian. The war continues, the Russian people believe TV, and Putin plays the role of a tough guy.
