NATO's defense missile systems were deployed at the border of Syria-Turkey

Image
. NATO has deployed its missile systems to defend against possible attacks at Syrian-Turkey border. According to Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, he said "Turkish armed forces will retaliate against threats coming from Syria in case Western allies wage a military action against Syrian government". However, U.S's a lly United Kingdom decided not to take action against Syria because its parliament voted against any possible military action which was proposed by Prime Minister David Cameron. Although U.K rejected the proposal of military intervention in Syria, U.S administration is willing to take unilateral action but in limited. French President François Hollande said "France is still ready to take part in attacks on Syria, despite the British parliament's vote against participation ". Without participating from U.K, it seems to be hard for U.S to take action unilaterally or even with France.Actually, Besides deploying Defense missile systems a

The relation between Western countries and middle-east Islamic state Syria  is becoming more and more tentative and fragile after Syria has been accused of using chemical weapons to fight against his own civilians. According to the western countries officials, they have been well-prepared and already deployed their troops including air, ground as well as naval forces to closer Syria. They added they have already had their air and Naval bases in Turkey,Cyprus, Jordan, Qatar, the United Arab emirates as well as Saudi Arabia.

This speech was made after U.S secretary of state John Kerry said

Will air war in Kosovo be reused in Syrian war?

Everyone has already known about the Air war (refers to NATO air strikes in Kosovar war) in Kosovo in 1999 after thousands of Kosovar civilians were killed by Serbian President Slobodan MiloÅ¡ević. Actually, he was charged with war crimes including genocide, and crimes against humanity in connection to the wars in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo by the International Criminal Tribunal. In respond to that situation, U.S President Bill  Clinton approved of NATO intervention without a mandate from the United Nations. NATO troops began bombing for 11 weeks, and Milosevic was forced to withdraw his troops and police. Anyways, Mr. Assad might not care about that because his government is back by Russia and Russia always use his veto right to disrupt the resolution of UNSC for using military intervention in Syria. Unlike Kosovo, Syria has such powerful weapons which have been imported from China and Russia especially Anti-aircraft missiles such as S-300, SA-6 and SA-8 . However,the air war of NA

Africa, the second largest continent ,  is bordered by he Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean.In African continent, there are totally 54 countries. Because  of the potential geographic accessibility and climate factor of this continent, most of them have potentiality in agriculture, fishing, forestry,and mining. For instant, Africa is a major producer of important metals and minerals.Actually, Africa exports Uranium, platinum,bauxite, nickel,aluminum,cobalt, and the most profitable mineral resources are gold and diamonds. Depend on their local potentiality, African countries could use those resources freely and easily to help accelerate their economic growth as well as build their countries to become developed-countries. In contrast, most African countries are some developing, and some under-developing countries. Actually, there are many factors that lead those countries to be in poverty, but I would raise only few factors. First of all, accor

The group Muslims have been identified as Rohingya who have been living in the state of Rakhine since 15th century and originated from neighboring Bengal (now included Bangladesh). First of all I would like to let you know about the history of the conflict.

During the World War II, Japanese forces occupied Burma and pushed British troops from the region of Rakhine state. In 1948 Burma granted independence from British and this region has been under the central power of the successive Burmese governments. Actually, a year before Burmese inde
