    I still don't fully grasp this conflict. Is it just about the US stepping in to kneecap the second biggest player in the middle east to preserve the status quo?

    What actual threat do Iran pose, and why is Trump happy to meet with Kim but take such a different approach here?

    With Middle East it's always complicated

    - A part of what Batard said, with the Bible belt and their influence in US politics, what we see in US approach towards Middle East has some eschatological desires in its foreign policy for the region. 

    - Israel, Saudis regional rivals of Iran and allies of US, it's simple enemy of my friend is an enemy. Why would Saudis buy $$$ dollars of arms from US if they have no regional threat ? 

    - To halt the growing influence of China in the region, a short war will hurt ambitions of China in the long run

  2. Sports minister of Russia has refused to recognize Cricket as a sport in the country.

    Not enough doping in it for Russian liking but we have match fixing :what:

    I hear things from people in Italy that are very close to me and I have been left shocked at what I didn’t know they believed in.

     

     

    That's so true, sometimes things that you hear on the dinner table whether with a hint of sarcasm really hits you hard, shows what people really believe in.

    That's actually a bad analogy.

    Sorry, I would never compare Maradona to Ben Stokes.

    1. Maradona intentionally cheated and never apologised. Stokes incident was a complete freak accident and he still apologised for it.

    2. To label Stokes a cheat, which is effectively what it is with that comparison, would be an insult when you have Australians caught on camera trying to rough up a ball or the 3 Pakistani players spot-fixing, not to mention the biggest cheat of all, Hanse Cronje.

    Analogy taken back
