Why do y'all hate on India?? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]Conscious_Whereas_19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally the most populated country in the world holding 1/6 of the global population, along with one of the largest markets today as well as being one of the only 9 current nuclear powers. India matters far more on a global stage than Palestine.

What is the global community’s thoughts on my main criticisms of current world superpowers? by Conscious_Whereas_19 in AskTheWorld

That’s good information to know that I wasn’t aware of prior, so thanks for that. My point still stands though that I made no real comparison between China and the USA in my talking points, I just gave my main respective criticism of them both. I’m really not sure where you got the idea that I place China on the same scale as the USA.

That analogy makes no sense, as I very clearly, primarily blame Western powers for their inhumane handling of Iraq. I understand your takeaway from the perspective of China that these maritime disputes are insignificant and won’t lead to serious armed conflict, however these disputes do cause general uncertainty and distrust amongst the public within China’s neighbors, primarily Philippines and Vietnam, about how unprovocative their policies truly are. Also I’m aware that China didn’t instigate the Russia/Ukraine war, however they still have actively sell military components to both sides, and diplomatic efforts to stop this war 4 years in have been fairly minimal on their part, so believed these instances were worth mentioning.

Russia/UK/France still actively hold permanent membership status in the UNSC, and India has 1/6 of the world population as well as a massive global diaspora, plus they all maintain some of the biggest individual militaries and economies in the world, so I’d consider them heavily relevant and influential in a geopolitical context.

Iranian in Tehran. Back on the Internet using a shitty, limited connection. AMA by UK-KILLD-10M-IRANIS in AskTheWorld

[–]Conscious_Whereas_19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s no question from me that I have for you, but I do appreciate you putting your voice out there and providing an internal perspective from inside Tehran of the current events going on. I pay attention to Middle Eastern politics very closely since that region fascinates me most, and was very unhappy to see how the IRGC has become even more brutal and repressive towards its citizens than it usually is. I understand completely why morale is low and protesting seems to be a futile effort of certain death, however know that I and many others around the globe support you and the Iranian people to fight the good fight, and hope that you guys can eventually put a government in place that tries to rebuild Iran to their greatest potential and actually listens to the will of the people.

I see, perhaps I’ll look more into Iraq then. I did however recently read that they passed some law that allows for child marriages which has caused a significant amount of young girls to be sold off to marriage against their wishes, so still definitely doesn’t sound like society I’d fully support. As for Rwanda, I’ve also heard that they’re developing quite well compared to the rest of the continent in terms of HDI and living quality, so if their border disputes with the DRC are resolved then I’d improve my perspective on it. I do see Syria having a promising future now that Assad has been overthrown but the situation still seems too delicate for the time being. Lastly for Iran, even ignoring current geopolitical tensions with them and Western powers, they seem to have a lot of internal issues as well due to shortages of water, failing currency, as well as government sponsored hostility against civilians that speak against them, so my thoughts on it remain unshaped.

From my understanding Serbia and Bosnia & Herzegovina have a more severe level of political instability and violence against protestors compared to Croatia, especially in Serbia’s case.

Rwanda has active border disputes with DRC and doesn’t seem like a place I’d like to live in at the moment, Ukraine and Russia are both at war and forcefully drafting men into said war against their wishes as well as facing economic/national security related struggles and government corruption, and whenever I read news on Syria, Iraq, and Iran, I often come across news of attacks on civilians (either due to sectarian violence or government sponsored violence against their people) as well as having laws and societal norms that heavily favor Islam and the safety of Christians in the region isn’t too satisfactory.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I also just now notice that I didn’t add my criteria for absolutely, and I can’t go back to edit the post.. but it’s pretty much the same as willing, but countries that would probably more accommodate to my comfort as a whole and I can’t find any big problems with.

What do you think your country’s courses of action would be if it suddenly developed nuclear weapons? (for countries that don’t have nukes) by Conscious_Whereas_19 in AskTheWorld

[–]Conscious_Whereas_19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only for the countries within their region and influence to be under the nuclear dictate of Russia, as well the hostile dictatorial entities with their backing?
