Mexico

It is a hectic time to live in Mexico at this point in time. There are drug lords running rampant and killing innocent people and the economy is failing as well. The government is not doing a good job of keeping their people safe. There are different levels of corruption in Mexico and they all pose a threat to the safety of Mexico’s people and its close neighbors.

                Even if the justice system has not worked out in anyone’s favor, except perhaps “El Chapo” the drug lord who was recently caught, it is safe to assume he is responsible for a lot of the body bags in Mexico. Throughout the years he has bribed policemen and government officials to work for him, and the sad part is that they do and we do not know about a lot of them. Drug trafficking is a huge problem in today’s world and it needs to end.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/centralamericaandthecaribbean/mexico/10659504/Mexican-drug-lord-El-Chapo-moves-to-block-US-extradition.html  

INDIA

So the US isn’t the only one that gets attacked by terrorists?! What?! India has also been a victim to terrorist groups from Pakistan and some have recently been caught.

Roskin says that the Pakistani government is supposed to be fighting off terrorism but they hid Osama bin Laden for years. Here is another example of the Pakistani government not controlling their extremists.  The police say the capture of these four terrorists has stopped a strike upon New Delhi. Bomb making materials were also seized when capturing the 4 terrorists.

This strike against India shows just how much resentment Pakistani Nationalists have against India. Since the beginning of Indian society Islamic people in India resented rule by the Indians, they didn’t want to be overlooked in the government. They wanted their own state and so they got it. Pakistan. So why is there still that resentment against India? Why are they continuously bombing cities?

Russia: Putin

                The events that have been happening in the Ukraine are staggering and it is natural that world powers would want to intervene but is Russia concerned only with the independence of Crimea or looking for its own gain.

                Looking into Russian President Vladimir Putin’s past makes it unlikely that he intervened in the Ukraine for moral purposes only. Putin likes power and he has proved this time and time again when he constantly shifted the power of the Prime Minister and the President according to what benefited him. Since the year 2000 Russia has remained controlled by Putin and has increased his own power.

                When Putin entered Crimea “not merely bolstering the security of Russia’s naval base on the coast of Crimea (an autonomous republic of Ukraine that once belonged to Russia) but mobilizing 30,000 troops to occupy the entire enclave”(False Warnings). He was not looking to restore order in Crimea but rather increase the power of Russia over them. Since Russia implemented its troops in Crimea there has been talk about annexing from the Ukraine and rejoining Russia. Which would be good for Russia because they would gain land and a sea port.
