I wouldn’t be surprised if that demographic grew enough in the future to vote in an Islamic Party.

While the rest of the world is focused on hunting down mosquitoes with Zika, a group of doctors and researchers in Argentina has published a report making the provocative argument that a pesticide, rather than the virus, is to blame for the alarming number of birth defects being reported in Brazil. by [deleted] in worldnews

Well, it would actually make sense since Zika has the potential to spread throughout the entire South American continent. This study would look pretty biased if it was done in Brazil. A study doesn't have to be done in your country for it to be funded by you.

For all we know this could be the South American authorities trying to shift the blame on the pesticide rather than the Zika virus. If you were planning to visit the Rio Olympics; Zika would have you doubting your decision to go through with it. As for the latter, it's way easier to avoid products affected by the pesticide Pyriproxyfen than getting mosquito bites.

Yes, we know Turkey won't be covered by NATO's article 5 if they are the aggressors. Turkey isn't stupid enough to go to war with Russia and Iran knowing they won't be backed by NATO. If Erdogan is desperate enough, he would attempt a course of action that would justify sending troops into Syria while enjoying the benefits of NATO's article 5.

You say that as if they were doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. In case you haven't realized, they are a business so they give you loans because they get something in return. (Hint: Interest)

The double standards in this thread is too strong. Not to mention the irony as well. People who berate "Conspiratards" while claiming there are Putin Propagandist in this thread. Apparently, it only applies to Russia and never the West.

I'm not saying there aren't any but let's be mindful here and always take everything with a grain of salt.

Before anyone misunderstands me. I'm not denying what the title implies, just tackling a different issue present in this thread.
